My Fall Bucket List: Lunch With A View + Pics

by - 10/03/2018 09:18:00 AM


I'm not sure if it's just a mom thing, however, I feel so guilty at times when I enjoy stuff without the family. As the kiddos are getting older. It has made the process a lot easier since they pretty much prefer to do things with their friends. Which is really bittersweet. Each season I create two bucket lists. One for my family, and one for myself. The two lists are created in hopes for me to have some "me time" and also to ensure that we're spending time doing family stuff, and not just on our phones. As I've gotten older, self-care has become so important to me, and part of being of mom. I don't want to lose myself in the process. Because let's face it. You really never stop parenting.
I've noticed that I'm just one of those moms that second guess when I have to spend money on myself. However, never think twice for the kiddos. When I created my fall bucket list. I knew before the weather changed that I wanted to have a pretty epic lunch solo. However, like most lists actions speak louder than words. I'm still in the process of creating tentative dates for each item on my list. However, I'm so excited about the process. 
This lunch date was so not planned, however, I loved every minute of it. It felt so magical. The air was so crisp. The food was so yummy. The sky was so blue. It was perfect! I have to get into the habit of creating more "me dates" for myself. Everything about this experience, really inspired me, even more, to accomplish the items on my fall bucket list. As a mom, it's so important to have those guilt-free experiences and enjoy every minute of it. 

Did you create a fall bucket list?

  2. I think we all need a little time to ourselves. Sometimes we just need to be able to get to know ourselves again without a bunch of other people around. I would love that entire meal but that dessert especially looks delicious.

  10. I agree, moms often neglect themselves for the sake of the family. My son needs new dress shoes, so I stopped myself form buying some pants so that he could have the shoes. Its what moms do, but we often need to bring the joy back into our lives and do something nice for ourselves like this.
