Getting things done is often one part work and two parts focus.
~smile~
My Bucket Lists help me to focus on the things that I want to do that aren't part of my daily routine.
Here's my Spring Bucket List 2016.
Paint girls' room trimUse chalkboard paint on the girls' window to the garage- Use leftover trim paint to touch up trim in the hallway

- Spring clean
Declutter- Have the yard sale
Go to yard sales ~smile~- Go to the drive-in with the kids

PicnicIce cream run with the kids- Get Amy's camera
- Wash windows
Make cookies for the kids on a rainy day- Make jam
Graduation for my homeschooled daughter, EmilyCelebrate 30th our wedding anniversary
The bucket lists inspire me and help me to enjoy life and get things done. I hope this list will inspire you to make your own list! I know some of it will be put on my summer bucket list, but it is motivating!
What will you put on your bucket list?
Be blessed!

...doing what I can with what I've got where I am
on a short shoestring budget!
Laura we sound so much alike- go to yard sales...have a yard sale! Where are you borrowing your tables? We need some maybe you can give me an idea! Have a great day
ReplyDeletePerhaps from a friend or from church, Vickie.
DeleteI'd like to make a list, but I'm too exhausted from reading yours. Now I need a nap! ;-)
ReplyDeleteTee hee! Me too!
DeleteLove your bucket list.. Doable.. Best wishes on getting it all done.. I am in the process of moving into our country house, so I won't have internet for awhile.. I will be back to visit you, once I get settled..
ReplyDeleteHow is your hubby doing with his new job? Hope he is enjoying it. God bless.
I look forward to hearing from you again. Best wishes for your move.
DeleteHubby likes the job. He's glad the hour and a half drive is only for six months!
Blessings to you for a fabulous week!
Laura, As always, your bucket lists are inspirational!!
ReplyDeleteI never think of doing a "bucket list" for the every day things, but indeed it is the every day things that make up most of our life and bring us the most joy, not the "grand bucket list items".
Thanks for sharing and Happy Anniversary!
Truth is, Karen, with our budget for the last several years, big things just haven't been a possibility. So, I have been making these bucket lists so that I not only get things done, I don't leave out the fun stuff!
DeleteThis is great! I totally need to do a bucket list. I'm inspired. I love the yard sale dialogue...ha! So like me. :) Congratulations on 30 years! WOW!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited Mrs. Sarah, my husband got his first paycheck in the mail today. Hurray! Thank you. Your know what it takes to make it 30 years? Stay together! ~smile~
DeleteBe blessed!
How exciting!! Praise God---things are looking good!! :)
DeleteAll is well!
DeleteWhewwww! That's lots on your list but looks like lots of them are fun fun fun! I haven't been to a drivein in a long time and my kids haven't ever been to one. I'll have to take them. :)
ReplyDeleteI probably won't get it all done, Cindy, but it gives me something to work towards!
DeleteI love your lists. I like the way you broke your yard sale down into various components - makes the list more doable. I make lists too. In fact, right now I'm in the middle of putting my summer sewing list together.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of a summer sewing list! That's a great thing to do when it's hot outside!
DeleteOh my...your list is long. ;) I hope you get much accomplished this Spring.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on blogland for awhile. With summer almost here, I've been rushing to get school done. And I'm getting a little burnt out. Its been a super long year. The high school years are rough! Thankful I only have one in that category, Haha!
Been thinking about you. I hope all is well.
Sending hugs, Amy
Congrats on being married 30 years!! That's quite a feat in our society today!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list of things to get accomplished. I noticed some of it was task related, but I did see some fun things on the list too.
Thank you Crystal! You're so kind. The best way to be married 30 years is to stay together. ~giggle~
DeleteWe were highschool sweethearts... and they called it puppy love!
I know I won't finish all the list, but it will keep me moving on those days when I just want to go out and play!
Be blessed, and thanks so much for talking back!
I won't finish it all, Amy, but it will keep me focused so that I'll get more done than I would without a list. We've been trying to get school done, too. My Emily is going to graduate! I'm scrambling to make sure she gets all the credits she can. Now I'm realizing what I forgot!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. You'll be busy with some fun stuff. I didn't see anything I wouldn't enjoy doing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I love this idea. I might try it
Have a good Friday.
Not even the decluttering? ~grin~
DeleteWow, that is quite an ambitious list! How exciting to have your child graduate amidst all the newness of spring! #MadMidWeek
ReplyDeleteHey, I love how your bucket list is more of a seasonal to-do list of things that are mostly enjoyable rather than the bucket list of things people want to get done before they die (morbid but that is what I think of when I hear bucket list). It is super fun to make lists and be able to check things off!! Homemaking and being a mom is so amazing it is awesome when we can track these things, even if it is just in list form!!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll be able to cross out all items for spring.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the season!
Probably not, Lux. But it gives me some goals.
DeleteHi Laura, I am visiting from My Flagstaff Home. I, too, am a homeschool mama with one graduating this year. I am a list maker and often have 2 or more going just trying to keep my ducks in a row. I had not considered doing a big list for the season and with fun things mingled in. Thanks for the idea! Now I need to find a pen and some paper. You would think that as homeschoolers that wouldn't be hard to do...
ReplyDeleteI love thinking of bucket lists by season! Thanks for sharing at My Flagstaff Home.
ReplyDeleteJennifer
You're welcome! It sure helps me to focus. Now, if I could just get going on the list!
DeleteThank you for sharing at SYC!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Joanne.
DeleteSpring is always so busy around the home. You have some fun items on this list. Enjoy completing them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle! Have a great weekend.
DeleteGreat list Laura. Enough to surely keep you busy. lol! I always have a list a mile long. Especially in the spring. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Hi Jann,
DeleteI'm not making much progress. I may have to trim it down a bit! I always enjoy visiting you!
Blessings to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
Laura Lane
A list that long would scare me - but I am sure since you posted this that you accomplished a lot of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with SYC.
Not so much, it's been too busy around here. I think I need to modify it. Summer's almost here! Ah well. Without goals where would we be?
