It’s time for a bucket list update! A few years ago, I made a bucket list and published it on the blog. I’ve crossed a few things off of it since then and there are a few things I’d like to add/edit! The new things I added I put in pink! I love reading other people’s bucket lists and seeing what they’ve crossed off and what they still have yet to do. If you have a bucket list post on your blog… share it with me in the comments please!
