I know I’m backward, but I hate spring because it means fall & winter are over. Go ahead, crucify me or whatever. Occasionally I dream about driving with the windows down along sunny back roads, but usually I prefer the changing leaves and falling snow.
Whatever. It’s over now. All you beach babes get your weather back. *sigh* 😉
As I’m sure you recall, I made a wintertime to do list/bucket list.
Winter To-Do List ❄️
Order / address / send Christmas cardsGirls’ trip with my ladies*
Weekend shopping trip with MomFinish all the Christmas shopping- Make some big decisions regarding the business
Still working on this. - Complete 50% of my Christmas Movie List
Nope. I watched roughly 10 movies from my list.

Make some Christmas cutout cookies
Do something fun in the snow!(Sledding on Christmas!)Come up with some 2018 goals/resolutions(Find those here!)Start planning something for our 5 year anniversary(Done!)Getallour stuff out of M&D’s basement(Haven’t gotten it all, but we made 3 trips!)
- Go through that stuff and purge all that we can live without
Winter walk with a dog or two* (Happened with E at Hocking Hills.)- Make. Freaking. Ice Cream.
- Get my office set up
- Look into getting the bedroom painted
- Scrapbook!*
*denotes items from my 30×30 list
We had a pretty wonderful winter. I made progress on moving stuff out of my parents’ basement and I’ve been working on putting my office together. I can’t really scrapbook until I have a space (my office) so that goal was a little ambitious.
When I say “make ice cream” I mean in the machine that we were gifted for my bridal shower +5 years ago. I did put the bowl in the freezer to chill it a few weeks ago so you could say I’ve made progress…? Probably not, though.
Someday we’ll get the house painted… ha.
What goals or fun bucket list items did you check off this winter? I’m sharing my spring & summer goals closer to the end of the month. Right now they’re still calling for snow in my neck of the woods. (YAY!)
Life as Louise 
We are going into Autumn – happy to swap seasons as I’m a summer person 🙂
Love this idea of a winter list and I think if I make one it will make the colder months go faster.
You ticked so many things off your list and those Christmas cookies look so cool. Well done! Lovely winter pictures.

Oooooh, I’m jealous. I need homes in different hemispheres so I can just keep the fall/winter thing going all year long 😉 A winter list helps me to get outside and do more- verses just staying curled up inside like my brain tells me to.
Thank you!

Absolutely! It’s been a slow process since much of my office went into storage (at my parents’) when we were showing the old house. A lot of it is still there. Ughhh. Lol

I agree with you 100%! Spring is fine, but it gets so hot so quickly that I don’t like it. Fall and Winter are definitely the bet seasons!

Fall is probably my favorite. My birthday is in October and I looove changing leaves and bon fires and sweatshirts. I’m pretty sure I get seasonal depression in summer- ha.

Fall is my favorite season but I’m not a winter fan. The snow is pretty when I’m snug as a bug indoors with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book, but I don’t like the cold or dealing with snow and ice when driving. I also don’t like hot weather or humidity. I’m sort of like Goldilocks when it comes to weather. 😀 You did so good against your winter goals and your cut-out cookies look fantastic. I’m such a bad decorator that I never even attempt them but your’s look amazing!

Ugh painting is so daunting! Honestly, I am not a huge fan of spring either. I like to welcome back my dresses and sandals but the pollen is out of control here in the south, tornado season scares the shit out of me, and well…it is just a matter of time before the temps and humidity are unbearable again lol. Bring me all the fall days!

I am not a summer person, but I don’t mind spring. It’s probably because it’s still cool and rainy here in WA. Haha! We have a possibility of some flakes in the forecast this weekend and I’m all for it! Nothing like the east coast though. You did pretty great for your winter goals! Your cookies are adorable and your trip looked so fun. We painted one kid’s bedroom last weekend and are on to the other’s this weekend. I hate it. I don’t blame you for putting it off. Ha!

When the seasons change my head just hurts constantly (from sinus pressure). That might be a big reason I dislike spring, too…. lol. Thank you!!

Fall is my favorite season, so I always hate when that ends. I don’t mind spring/summer but I hate when it’s really hot – I get hot so easy – so if I’m not in my pool, I’m probably complaining. LOL I have an ice cream machine too that I STILL need to use. It will happen this summer. It will! For both of us!! It snowed a couple inches where I live; it’s very pretty.
