Family Winter Bucket List

Sharing is caring!

I dislike the winter. There I said it. If I were to rank the seasons in order, winter will always come last and if I had my way we could go right from fall to spring. I am a warm sun on my face, flowers blooming, sitting by the pool kind of girl. I know seasonal depression is real, because every year right after the holidays are over, I feel a sense of claustrophobia. I know the coldest days of winter are still to come and we are trapped indoors. This year I wanted to try something different to beat the winter blues, so I created a fun family winter bucket list.

What Is A Winter Bucket List For Families?

If you are not familiar with the term bucket list it refers to a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime. A family WINTER bucket list is just a targeted list of different ideas that we can complete together, during the winter time. 

The winter bucket list focuses on activities that can be done indoors and outdoors, taking advantage of times it snows. This year I will FINALLY be excited to see the snow fall, as I know it means we get to cross a few things off the list. Instead of counting the days until spring, I will be wondering what sorts of things we can accomplish from our list. 

What to Add to The Bucket List?

A family winter bucket list should have a little bit of everything. Since Normal Life Mom focuses on food, family and fun; I wanted to incorporate all different kinds of family related activities from each of those categories.

This winter bucket list has a little bit of everything: from making fun winter sensory bins, huge batches of chili, sledding and hot chocolate bars, to having a fun family movie night in.

I’m challenging you to use my winter family bucket list and to complete as many of these items this winter that you can. I have a free  printable checklist at the end. How many do you think you can cross off this winter?
