Fall Bucket List 2012

**UPDATE** I've added a follower button if you would like to come out and follow in the open :)

I remember going to see The Bucket List at the movies. My only uncle had just passed away from cancer. I BALLED like a baby in the theatre at the end of the movie. My sweet friend that I went with had no idea what to do. It took a couple of minutes but I was alright.

Anywho, I've seen the Summer Bucket list and Back to School Bucket list that were floating around blog land. I decided to take a stab at it and make a Fall Bucket list.

Oh oh, before I do that how could I forget. I'm super excited that less than 2mos into blogging my page hit over 1,000 views. I don't know what normal stats are but that makes me very excited. .HOLLA.... I said that this morning and little princess repeated after me. It was hilarious. :) Just wanted to say thanks and keep on reading.

Ok, back to my bucket list. This is a family friendly type bucket list. I've posted before about the lack of family traditions for my hubs or myself. So I am big on starting them. I know little princess is to little to know the difference but ya gotta make it a habit right??? Here is a picture of our list and I'll explain a few things on it.
If you live in Texas like I do you know that Fall is the best time to go to the zoo and the aquarium is just an added play date for little princess. I want to try and get those in once a month.

Take a hayride goes along with a tradition I want to start. The Sunday after Thanksgiving I want to go to a tree farm and pick out a Christmas tree. I stole that tradition from a friend. Hopefully, I can find a farm that does hayrides too. :)


We have a fire station right around the corner from the house. I saw this really cute picture of little acorn donuts. I'm totally making those. I don't remember where I saw it first. But here is where I stole it. See aren't they cute. :)
And another recipe that I found that looked worthy of trying was this pumpkin one. I'm going to try it with a Spice cake mix though instead of Butter Pecan. The bonus is they are only 97 calories. And for that reason alone I am for sure dusting with powder sugar!
If you would like a copy of my bucket list you can download it here.

  1. Thanks so much for sharing at the Fall Bucket List link-up! I love the idea of finger painting pumpkins. (Definitely much more toddler friendly.) Have a beautiful fall!

  3. Found your post from the Made by you Monday link up, and just had to comment on the pumpkin muffins.

    I found that same recipe somewhere a while back, and was skeptical. But seriously, the easiest thing in the entire world to make and absolutely delish! Our 3 year old likes to help stir, and then we put sprinkles on top. Try them sooner rather than later, because you'll want to make them again once they're gone in a day, LOL.

    1. Thanks for the heads up! I wonder what they would taste like with chocolate cake mix and pumpkin.

  5. Simplee Sue: Cute bucket list. I like to make lists. It keeps my mind straight. After you start having children, the mind is jumbled up with a whole family worth of stuff.
