April Bucket List Update.
00:00I'm a couple of days late posting our 'April Bucket List' update but its better late than never, right?
During the month of April I was quite poorly with flu and the Intracranial idiopthic hypertension flared up, which really didn't help. I'm not really sure we achieved much on the bucket list but we did our best!
First up was 'Play In The Rain'. We did manage this! It was great fun. Ellie had a wonderful time splashing in puddles with her welly boots on! We didn't let those pesky April showers stop us, haha.
We didn't manage to have a picnic unfortunatly. The weather wasn't playing on our side. Hopefully in May though!
Donate stuff to charity. Yes! I did this! I donated a bag full of clothes that the kids had hardly used. They seem to grow out of clothes quicker than they can wear them.
Learn a new recipe. I didn't do this one. Again. I really want to invest in a slow cooker again. That was really handy last time and so much easier! I also use to try new recipes every other week!
I also didn't manage to plant any seeds or flowers, sadly. Maybe this month though!
I DID find a new T.V series to watch. Well, it was a BBC drama but it still counts! It's called Thirteen about a girl who was kidnapped and held for thirteen years! It's on BBC iPlayer if you're interested. I also wrote about it in my recent favourties post.
And last but not least was 'Blow bubbles with the kids' Ellie and I had a fab time blowing bubbles in the back garden! The cat thought they were fascinating and tried chasing them. She popped one with her paw and her reaction? She ran away and growled, haha. Funny cat she is.
I also had a few proud mummy moments during April. Harrys parents evening went SO well! And the others are doing fantastic at school. I'm feeling really blessed & proud.
What did you achieve in April? Let me know in the comments, I'd love to hear :)

ReplyDeleteThose teddy bear sand art things are so cute! I think you've managed to do alot of fun things :) Thanks for linking up #bestandworst
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good idea to have monthly bucket lists! There is so much to do in our new house, setting up our little business and with my blogs that I think it would be a good idea if we had one too. You have inspired me. Thank you.

Love this monthly bucket list idea. Really puts the "carpe diem" spirit into each diem, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteAh love this, glad you got to do the things you planned! Playing in the rain is so much fun! #binkylinky
ReplyDeleteYou certainly had a good April. I haven't even finished with my 2015 book list yet. But things out to be better in the months to come, so I'll try to get them ticked off too like you did :) - Dean of Little Steps
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed you read two books! I'm terrible. Hope you better now. Sounds like you have managed loads. We got a picnic in last weekend but technically it was May!! #binkylinky x
ReplyDeleteI think you did good for April. I will have to check out that to series, there just is nothing on at the moment and I like the sound of this. Let's hope May brings warm weather for lots of picnics X

ReplyDeleteJust came here from #BinkyLinky :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea of creating a bucket list. I probably should make a list too so I can get things done! Especially when Im with my boys all the time, I can follow the list for activities to do with them. Its great that you were able to check off lots! Love the coloured sand crafts you made! xx
Such a good idea. The bluebell wood looks lovely. Great book choices too.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you made good progress on your bucket list. Well done! Thanks for linking up to the #BinkyLinky
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great month despite the setbacks. I don't know if I achieved much last month, but I stayed alive, so that's a good thing! :)
ReplyDeleteReally pleased to hear that parent's evening went so well! April was dire for me, I just did not have much luck with it at all! H x
ReplyDeleteYou did really considering you were not well great update Thanks for linking to the #binkylinky
ReplyDeleteWe have a bluebell wood in our village too - so magical! I watched the first episode of 13 and need to catch up on the others... luckily it's Sunday tomorrow ; )
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you have been so poorly but well done for being such a strong person. We should all take a leaf out of your book x
ReplyDeleteThat Thirteen programme was amazing and disturbing. I watched it too. Good luck with the remaining reading.
ReplyDeleteAhhh what a great list for April. I love your monthly bucket list keeps you motivated and on to them more than new years resolutions. I have a reading list a mile long to catch up on. Thanks for linking up to Share With Me. I have enjoyed reading your blog posts and so grateful for you linking up. I hope you will continue to link up in the next few weeks as I had the reins over to the new Share With Me hostess and continue long after linking up with her too. #sharewithme
