Everyone has a “to do” list, but do you have a bucket list? Last year, I made a bucket list of fun adventures to go on. As with life, things don’t always go as planned. I didn’t make the time and frankly missed the opportunity to do many of the things on the list. So, with much of 2025 ahead of me, I’m revisiting the list and adding a few more adventures. These aren’t grand, multiday adventures but smaller achievable pursuits closer to home. Check out what’s on my bucketlist. What’s on your bucket list?
Canoe the Brule River with the family. it’s a world class river of Presidents only 30 minutes away
Pick wild blueberries in the barrens. I did this with my family as a kid and love the smell of sweet fern in the heat of the barrens. Harvesting the our local seasonal berry bounty brings me joy.
Go on a mother daughter camping trip.
Sleep under the stars…no tent. I’ve never done this and I think I need to at least experience this once
Go Yooper rock hunting. I’ve always loved combing beaches for natural treasurers and agates
Run a 5K with my daughter.
Introduce our daughter to backpacking and short overnight trip
