Mother + Son Bucket List

Just over twenty seven months ago, L entered this world. He was a dream come true, I couldn’t get enough of him. Every ounce of him was (and still is) pure sweetness. I wasn’t prepared for how having a boy would be different than having a girl. It’s something that is hard for me to describe and maybe it’s just a first vs second child thing, but it is. I have a different bond with each of my littles, each so very special in their own way.

Last year, I shared a mother + daughter bucket list filled with things I am looking forward to doing with my little lady. One of my goals for the new year was to create a bucket list for L & myself. Some of the things are the same. Some things I hope we can all do as a family. Others, I look forward to doing just he and I.

My number one goal as a mom is to make sure my kids know how much I love them and how much they mean to me. Quality time together, making memories is a great way to build those bonds and show that love. I look forward to crossing things off of this list over the years and as the kids get older, would love to have them add to these lists.
