What's a better name for a Bucket List?

Bucket List just sounds too grim for me to use that on a monthly basis, so I need to come up with a better term.

For the fall, I came up with a list of the things I wanted to knock out, and I'm happy to say I was pretty successful. Putting goals in writing is one of the best ways to achieve them and I really don't have a better platform than right here.

Here is how I did for the Fall:

Put a personal touch on some pumpkins and decorate with them  

Go to a pumpkin patch : 

Host a book club meeting : 

Upgrade my fall wardrobe:

Invest in good boots 

Bake fall goodies for my co-workers: 

Bake fall treats and bring them to friends and family in the neighborhood: 

Meet my new baby cousins and prepare a treat for their whole family 

Cook dinner with new recipes 

Try navy blue for an upcoming manicure 

Give a Pumpkin Spiced Latte a shot

Order new magazine subscriptions 

Run a race

10 out of 13 - which is not too bad.

and now...

 My new, winter to-do

• Volunteer something. My time, my money, my things...whatever it is, I want to give back somehow before I leave for Mexico.

• Fully relax while I'm in vacation. I plan to unplug and work on being my best self while I am there

• Bake Christmas cookies

Bring treats in for work

• Buy thoughtful gifts for Christmas without going overboard

• Try forest green for a manicure

• Wear my new, sparkly dress

• Get a hot chocolate - with all the good toppings

• Play in the snow

• Go on a drive through a less-visited neighborhood to check out the Christmas lights

• Watch Elf and Santa Claus

• Send out Christmas cards

• Go Ice Skating

• Check out the Christmas windows at Macy's on Michigan Ave

• Make a new soup recipe 

• Make a gingerbread house

• Keep a positive attitude for the next 3 weeks of work. Everyday, show up as my best self.

• Host a cookie exchange/ornament exchange party for my girlfriends.
