Luke and I have been doing Live Lists on and off for a few years now. It's not a bucket list but rather a list of things to find life in. It isn't about crossing off all the items before the season ends but instead enjoying each moment in the present and living ours lives with intention and purpose. Slowing down and enjoying how special life is right now.
Now that Landon is getting bigger we are adding more activities that he can be involved in and I simply cannot wait until he can contribute his own ideas! The list doesn't have to be crazy, we have very simple things on there like roasting hot dogs over the fire. I try to incorporate a good mix of simple and complex, big and small, planning and winging it, serving and indulging.
Each Live List has given our lives more of a sense of togetherness, a stronger family bond, more gratitude and has humbled us time and time again. One of the things I love most is that it challenges us in our personal growth and allows us to support each other in our dreams. I know all that from an Oscar Mayer wiener!
As a mother, one of my greatest wishes is for Landon to feel joy, love and fulfillment. And I think these Live Lists will help by allowing us to actively celebrate every season of our lives.
