      Introduction: The Bucket List Explained

      We are the music makers...and we are the dreamers of dreams.

      ~ Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

      Have you ever reacted to hearing about an activity or vacation spot with the comment, that’s on my bucket list? You probably weren’t talking about a written list. You were simply voicing a hope, however deeply held and however serious your intentions were for completing it.

      But the exciting news is: behind every bucket list wish resides the inspiration to make everyday life more adventurous. We just need to recapture the term bucket list in a way that transforms it from a wish to a regular practice that fits our family life.

      Bucket List Defined

      The term bucket list came into vogue only in the last decade, particularly after the 2007 release of the Rob Reiner film by that name (starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as two cancer patients on the run from the hospital, trying to get in their last few adventures before they kick the bucket).

      Now bucket list is so much a part of our everyday language that it was officially added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary in 2012:

      buck.et list:

      a list of things that one has not done before but wants to do before dying.

      When bucket lists come up in conversation they often include mentions of exotic vacations (seeing the pyramids in Egypt, climbing to the top of Machu Picchu, visiting Red Square in Moscow) or accomplishing great athletic feats (running a marathon, competing in the Olympics, scaling a mountain).

      The typical concept of a bucket list puts it way out of reach for ordinary moms and everyday kids. Who has the time – to train, to travel, to experience these things? Who has the money for the airfare, the tour guides, the trainers? And frankly, what mom wants to risk her life or the lives of her kids for the sake of checking off some of the goals contained on these far out lists?

      Despite this perception, bucket lists can be a powerful tool in the life of a family. They can be a tool yielding benefits beyond the experiences on the list. So it is time to redefine bucket list to include families and our needs.

      Bucket lists for family life

      For our purposes, a bucket list is a compilation of dreams and aspirations that reflects the heart desires of the creator (or creators). A bucket list is a personal document, not a copycat of what others deem important. Your bucket list is what you value. After all, your desires look different from mine and your children’s dreams do not necessarily match those of my children. Therefore, our bucket lists will be different from each other. Your children’s lists will also
