December Bucket List 2021

This post contains affiliate links.

I’ve been posting my December bucket list for three years, so I had to make it four. It also helps that it’s one of my favourite things to put together. Some might say it’s up there with favourites posts; if you’ve been here a while then you’ll know all about my love for those. December can a bit of a manic month for me, as there is so much going on. Which means this post comes in handy for keeping me on track.

This is my December Bucket List 2021

Go to a Christmas Market

I really missed visiting a Christmas Market last year, so it’s something I really want to do this year. It’s nice to get outside and see all of the festive stalls and stop for drinks and food. It’s a great way to get into the festive spirit, and this year I think we’re going to try York; which I am very looking forward to.

Try Mulled Wine or Hot Chocolate

This might seem like a strange thing to include, but I don’t like hot drinks. Which means I’ve never really tried either of these before. I’ve been really enjoying trying new things just recently which is why I want to give these a go. Plus there’s not better place to try them than at a Christmas market, so we’ll see how I get on.

Donate to the Local Dogs Home

This is something we did last year, and I’d like to make it a tradition. Ralph is lucky enough to accumulate a lot of toys throughout the year, and he doesn’t play with all of them. Which means they can go to a better home where they’ll get used. I’ve already gone through his stuff and have the bag ready, so hopefully this one can get ticked off quickly.

Do Some Christmas Baking

I’m pretty sure that this makes all of the lists, but it’s my favourite hobby. I haven’t thought about what I’m going to make yet, so I need to start looking through the cookbooks that I have and decide on something. I’ll be sure to document it on my Instagram, as I do all of my bakes.

Get the Wrapping Done Early

I started my shopping pretty early this year, and I want to get it wrapped as soon as possible. As I don’t want to be in a position where I’m rushing through everything because I’ve left it too last minute. Which definitely sounds like something I’d do, to be fair. However I just need to get some tags and I’ll be able to start.

Enjoy Our First Christmas in Our Home

I moved out in January, so this will be the first Christmas in the new house. I’m determined to enjoy it, but I’m not putting the pressure on it. I just want to enjoy it for what it is and whatever happens.

There we have it that was my December bucket list 2021.

Do you have a December bucket list?

Thank you for reading!

    Mulled wine sounds delicious especially when pared with freshly baked goods. Hope you get to fulfill all of the items on your bucket list!

    Great bucket list! This year I got all my present buying and wrapping already and it feels so satisfying. There are some lovely ideas here!
    Funny enough I’ve also written a bucket list post for Christmas – it’s such a fun season! x

If you’re local to Cheshire (or willing to travel for a really good scoop) you need to add @bidleadairy to your list📍

Not only is there ice cream, they have: cows, ponies, and a donkey to say hello to🐮

We didn’t stop for food this time, but we’ve made a mental note to come back as everything looked so good!😋

Both kids adore @tractorteduk so I knew this would be a hit, and they spent ages playing!💚

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋
🍉 JULY 🍉 wholesome family moments, sunshine, and 🍉 JULY 🍉

wholesome family moments, sunshine, and way too much good food ☀️🍝

From surviving the first heatwave with water play in the garden to a lovely little trip to the farm, it’s been the best kind of month🤍

Make sure you scroll all the way to the end to see Jake getting eaten by a dinosaur 🦖😂

@trenthamestate days are our favourite🌳

Making a strawberry cheesecake went as well as the cupcakes😂🍓

Proof that they can actually play nicely together😂

@costacoffee dates❤️

When in doubt visit the farm🐮

Still dreaming of this @thebroughton_balterley 😍

All ready for the Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift tribute at @trenthamestate 🎤

We had such an amazing time, would definitely recommend seeing what other events they have on or booking next year🎼

Creamy pasta has my heart, but Jakes lasagna was insane! @raffaelesandbach 😋

Another @trenthamestate day out🚜

Ok so Ella actually hated this dinosaur😅 @hoozooanddinosaurworld 

So glad I managed to capture this🤣🤣🤣

Saying that the @maybelline foundation is new to me and I have been really enjoying it! It has SPF 20 and is great for dry skin✨

What always makes it into your holiday makeup bag?🩵🌺

Also I know the lighting isn’t the best, but we’re going with it😂

Missing mornings like this✨ Current mood: Sitting Missing mornings like this✨

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

☀️ June ☀️ Spent the first half of the month melt ☀️ June ☀️

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

Isn’t the heatwave supposed to be coming back too? Send prayers (and fans)😂 How did you survive the  heat?!

1. Take off✈️
2. Couldn’t ask for anything more❤️
3.🐚🌺
4.❤️
5. I may have piled my flatbread a little too high😅
6. Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🎢
7. There’s always time for a farm trip🐴
8. Our first cinema trip🎬
9. We’re big Toy Story fans in this house🤠
10. It’s been Caesar salad weather🥵
11. And we were able to sneak in a date afternoon🥰
12. An ice cream run was a must🍦
13. Especially as Noah was very brave during his preschool jabs🥺
14. I do not miss doing bedtime at this temperature🥵

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
