make the most of january - bucket list

Click image for larger printable

January!!!! Is it me or does every year seem to go a little faster? It makes me realise how important it is to make the most of every day. I am so glad I started writing a bucket list as it reminds me to keep doing the fun stuff as it is so easy to forget when you are busy with the everyday.

Having a winter picnic passed us by last month as the weather has just not been good enough. I long for cold, crisp sunny days so we can wrap up, pack up our thermos and head out. Those are the kind of days I love. 

I really want to make a start of restyling my kitchen. The New Year always signifies freshness and my little kitchen needs some love and attention. A few licks of paint on my walls and kitchen cupboards and it will look altogether new.

Have you any plans or resolutions for January? 

Have a lovely day and enjoy your weekend. We have plans for a date night tomorrow and a walk on Sunday. Weather permitting, of course!

    1. I love having a visual list I can look at. Happy New Year Anne :-)

  3. Hi Rachel!

    Happy New Year!
    I love your New Year's resolutions, they are more realistic and they make sense, everybody should have the same resolutions, the world would be a better place -

    As far as my list, i kind of have one all the time in my head - Always a million things i want to do, long bucket list! I'm usually pretty good with my list, a part from a few things...

    Again i love yours, i might steal some of your ideas!

    About the cold, i will trade place with you anytime! -35 - Is this cold enough for you?

    Take care

    Hugs

    1. Hi Ariane, Happy New Year to you too! I'm hoping as they are written down I will follow them! Steal away, I hope they work for you.
      Now that sounds cold!!!! How do you cope in such cold temperatures? I would be useless. I find it hard to function if it is ever -1!
      Take care chic
      Hugs Rachel xxxx
