Our Family Bucket List For 2016

Our Family Bucket List For 2016 The Oliver\\\'s MadhouseI love the idea of making the most of our family time and enjoying the little things in life but with kids and responsibilities time seems to escape me and in order to shave off time it would be fair to say I don’t always stop and appreciate the time I have with the kids. 

This year I am going to make the most of being Mum and with the imminent arrival baby 3, this year I am going to focus on making memories and spend my time more wisely, hence the idea behind a family bucket list! 

  • Bake Some Cakes
  • Build A Den (inside or out)
  • Start Geocaching 
  • Fly A Kite
  • Paddle in The Sea
  • Go Pumpkin Picking
  • Visit A Maze
  • Go Strawberry Picking
  • Visit Nottingham Castle
  • Pick Blackberries 
  • Visit A Museum 
  • Bubble Blowing
  • Build A Snowman
  • Paddle In A Paddling Pool
  • Collect Acorns 
  • Build Sandcastles    
  • Go Swimming 
  • Feed The Ducks
  • Go Ride A Bike
  • Have A Water Fight
  • Visit A New Park/Playground
  • Travel On A Train As A Family
  • Chalk Drawing Outside
  • Visit A Zoo
  • Go Bowling
  • Visit A New Sea Side Location
  • Play Mini Golf  
  • Go Crabbing At The Coast
  • Hand & Feet Painting
  • Pot Or Plant Some Seeds/Plants
  • Visit London As A Family
  • Go On A Boat
  • Have A Picnic

I know some of these might be a little bit more ambitious like the going to London as a family, however its always great to have something to aim for!

I have no idea if we will get through so many activities but my goodness this year is going to be the year of family and I am going to stop looking what time I don’t have and what I should have done and start appreciating what I have and making the most of the little moments in life that normally pass by without acknowledgement.

This year my word and focus is: FAMILY

    A good word to focus on, and yes they grow all to quick. Like the geocaching one, that you will enjoy, No3 can go in a baby carrier and you can go anywhere
