Summer Bucketlist (free printable)

 

Summer is almost here!  One of our goals is to take advantage of these precious summer moments, all the fun activities and the opportunities to love others that abound in this season - we have found that the best way for our family to actually do that is sit down as a family and fill out our summer bucket list!

But it isn't just about us and what

we want to do...

When we look at our life and the things we want prioritize, serving others is top on that list, but it doesn't always make it on our daily to-do-list.  To help us be more intentional and to make serving a fun family activity we started adding "to do for others" to our seasonal bucket list.

 

It is a fun way to get the kids involved in, thinking about, and motivated to serve. I have loved seeing what they come up -  sweet things like, "let's say nice things to people when we see them" Simple and totally doable - but also really good for them to practice being intentional in this way!
