The other day I was attempting (read: struggling) to come up with blog topics, when I suddenly remembered sharing my fall and holiday bucket lists with you all.

Oh, hey, it’s a new season!

I may have missed the official welcoming of spring a couple weeks back, but since some of you guys are still dealing with freezing temps, I figured it would be ok if I spread some warm weather vibes.

Here’s my 2016 Spring Bucket List.

I am so excited for our beach trip toward the end of the month—I’m already fantasizing about relaxing in the sun, enjoying coffee and breakfast in the window-filled breakfast nook, and chasing around after Bazooka.

I really hope that kid takes more of a liking to the water than he did last year. He loved the sand, but he screamed bloody murder when we let him “dip his toes” in the gulf. #parentingfail

Another thing I’m excited about is seeing Ben Folds for our anniversary. He’s playing at the Saenger (again—he played a few years ago and it was awesome) which makes it a wonderful, more intimate show. We just need to decide where to have dinner beforehand.

As for some of the other things, I really want to take advantage of the milder temperatures and enjoy spending time as a family outdoors. Iggy needs the exercise, and I want to build simple traditions (feeding the ducks) with Bazooka while he’s young.

Who knows—maybe he has the green thumb required to keep our herb garden alive! 😉

I also want to continue prioritizing self care, which is why I think getting back into a reading habit (I’m almost finished with The Husband’s Secret) and starting a devotional will be a good idea.

And I better act quickly if I want to run one (or both) of the races I have in mind; the Tunnel Vision 5K (this one is so fun!) and 8K by the Bay are coming up soon!

Here’s hoping we all get to enjoy a lovely spring before the heat and humidity of summer arrive.
