We are just not all together, all day the way we were when they were little. I guess that's why it's important to me to enjoy whatever we do together...even if it's just sharing a laugh over breakfast, before we all go our separate ways for the day!

It made me sad, but I am wishing I had made one for myself! There is still some summer left, time to make the list of the things not that I want to do, but maybe not do!

I'm going to start a summer bucket list; not sure where I've been as I haven't heard of this. <br />I started a journal while pregnant and continued it sporadically for my daughter; one side of the paper were things she did that made me smile and other side is her side of things I found that made her smile. <br />Reading your post is my reminder from the universe, I should get back to filling her journal until she can write in it for herself.<br /><br />Thanks for your inspiration again!LM@motherchuckler.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989737488388906928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-76959583871792548412013-06-28T19:25:48.966-04:002013-06-28T19:25:48.966-04:00I'm glad you found some inspiration, Mardra!

I also do my best to live in the moment and be mindful in how I spend my time with my children ~ that's what my blog is about {also found you through Bloppy Bloggers}. I think blogging is a wonderful gift, because it makes us look more deeply at things ~ what could I write about this? To describe our lives to strangers online requires some explanation and introspection that makes us see the everyday differently. Such an unexpected gift of blogging!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899550611941829240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-57313978877491871382013-06-25T14:47:03.267-04:002013-06-25T14:47:03.267-04:00Ohhh I love this bucket list idea!!Ohhh I love this bucket list idea!!Kate @ Another Clean Slatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646464393586461119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-24437204683501349762013-06-25T14:25:00.412-04:002013-06-25T14:25:00.412-04:00That sounds absolutely awesome.

If you're interested, I host a 'Ten Things of Thankful' blog hop each weekend, and your unusual summer bucket list sounds like something my 'regulars' would love to hear about - perhaps you'd consider joining us.

It's such a great plan to keep a positive attitude and try to enjoy every moment with your kids. I call it living the depth of the moment. We all live the length of each moment - that happens automatically just as time passes. But to truly live the depth of each moment, to find the joy, happiness, and emotions of the moment takes a bit more conscience awareness. I'm glad I found you through Bloppy Bloggers. I make my home at www.RocksNoSaltMommy.com.

It is fun to come up with a different place to visit or different way to spend our day.<br /><br />Life is too short to spend any time on the negative.<br /><br />Have a lovely day with lots of little "good" things in it.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.com
