August Bucket list

 

August for me always feels like a transitional month, even though I know that fall doesn’t start until end of September in my head, it has always been August which felt like the start of it. Let’s take a look at the August bucket list 😊

Draw flowers with chalk

I still love drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, this month I would love to get my kiddo out with me and draw some beautiful flowers made out of chalk. Of course we would have to do it early in the morning because otherwise it is so stinking hot ha ha The afternoon is usually filled with thunderstorms and you don’t want to be outside then, it is too dangerous.

Make paper airplanes

Now that we have our usual evening thunderstorms is the perfect time to do some arts and crafts and why not build paper airplanes and see whose airplane can go the furthest? Of course, this is also an activity that can be done outside because then the airplanes can really fly, but in the house it works too.

Watch the stars and spot constellations

My wish is to see the Milky Way, but our area has grown so much that you can no longer see it. When hubby moved here as a kid, you could still see the Milky Way. However, I love stars, and I will gladly spend an evening lying outside and looking at all the constellations.

Family board game night

We are massive fans of board games, as I have mentioned before, but you guys also know that I am not talking about Monopoly, I am talking about Mysterium, Scythe, and others thereof. Don’t worry, we also play the classics 😉This month simply seems to be fitting for a night filled with board games. You should try it too 😊

Make cookies

Who doesn’t love a good cookie? I would really love to bake more. My brother inherited the baker gene, so I am not that great at baking, granted our oven isn’t the best either, so cookies cook at weird times, BUT that shouldn’t stop me from baking the greatest cookie of all time!

Family movie night

It has been a while since we last had a movie night as a family together, so I declare that this month we shall give it a try. Though I have no idea what movie we should watch. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Watch the sunrise

Now that we are going to the gym so early, I get to see the sunrise on our way back home from the gym. However, I would love to see it purposefully. Actually sitting down in a chair with a nice cup of coffee or tea and just watching the sunrise. Just thinking about it makes me feel calm, it could be a great start to the day, having some quiet time in the morning.

Sketch into your journal

This month I would like to try to sketch some more. It really has been a minute since I have opened my sketchbook and my journal, for that matter. I really want to start taking more time for myself, even though life has gotten a bit stressful lately. I believe now is the perfect time to start focusing on myself, even when things are stressful, we can’t forget about ourselves.
