Adventures

Sticking with my book theme, no book is good without some sort of adventure. I think that sometimes we put too much pressure on what an adventure is. I have friends who travel the world and post the most interesting places of things that I probably will never see. If I were to compare my adventures to theirs mine would come up a little lacking. I like to think every time I walk out my door there is a chance of adventure.

Websters defines adventure as an exciting or remarkable experience. It also defines it as an undertaking usually  involving danger or risk. I am a simple girl and I would prefer danger and risk not be involved with my adventures. I will leave that one for you thrill seekers and will just continue to enjoy your adventures through your facebook posts!

I use to think that adventures had to be this grand thing. My life was pretty boring then. Having three small children, not alot of money, time or energy there wasnt much adventure in my life. Actually there was I was just missing it wishing for another life. Not that I didnt want to be a mom or wife I just needed a break and a nap. When I changed my attitude and realized an adventure could be going on a nature walk and counting all the ground hogs or going to yard sales and looking for vintage things that I loved for my home my life got a lot more exciting.  Sometimes for our lives to change we need to change our circumstances but most of the time we just need to change our attitudes.

I was texting a friend last night and mentioned a Fall Bucket List and told her of a few examples. She mentioned that maybe she would create a bucket list as well. Maybe she and I could mark a few things off our lists together. I found this list on Pinterest. I do not plan to all the things on this list but its a good place get a few good ideas.

I have seen a few good ideas on what your bucket list should look like. It can be an actual list or you can write your ideas down on popsicle sticks and pull one out of your bucket to do. If you have younger children than mine, who are 26, 21 and 19, they would probably enjoy closing their eyes and pulling out a stick.

Mr Ladybug and I have been homebodies the last several weeks. Its been just too hot and miserable outside. We are ready to go on a few adventures. I will try to post my idea of a fall bucket list in the next few days. I would love to see yours if you chose to make one as well. You could even make a little bucketlist passport with your little ones and mark the things off the list with stickers and when they get their book filled get a special treat or prize. Dang it, now I need to borrow someones little ones. I wonder if I can convince Mr Ladybug to make a little passport.
