Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m here to share three fun March adventures with you. I’m happy to say that I made it to the Dollar Tree this month I don’t get to go as often as I would like to so it was a highlight for sure. I got some great items there that I’m excited to tell you about so let’s get to it.
03/23/25 – On this day I went to Monterey . My mom and I explored the Colton Hall museum. It it free to go to and It is an interesting place as well. I bought some post cards here. I love the bear statues outside. While in Monterey we also got lunch and salt water taffy.
03/26/25
This was the day I went to the Dollar Tree. I needed a reward for completing my taxes. Taxes always stress me out. I was very happy to go to the Dollar Tree after the stress of doing my taxes. I was excited to see the seasonal items. I got some Easter Craft Kits and a set of Easter rings. I love the ring set ,it is just so cute. Other Items I bought on this shopping trip include Two Lisa Frank coloring books, a Barbie coloring book, stickers, a notebook that comes with stickers, Barbie socks, surprise toys and Squishmallow toothpaste. I had a fun time going to the Dollar tree and I’m excited for my next trip there!

On this day I did a Target pick-up order. I got a bunch of different items but my favorite items that I got were bath bombs with prizes, a bunch of Easter stickers, two craft kits and two surprise toys. I love doing pick-up orders at Target. I highly recommend it.
Hello, my bucket list friends, I’m excited to tell you about two fun things I did last weekend. I know that I still have not crossed off any list items this year , yet this summer will be a different story . With all that being said, now let’s get to it.
3/15/ 2025
A party for no reason – Part of me likes working on Saturdays because that means I get to have a weekday off and I like having weekdays off because things are less crowed and and its easier to do what I need to do on the weekdays. However, on the 15th, I felt like my coworkers and I could use a party since we were having to work on a day that most people had off. Even though most of us who were there work every Saturday. I just felt like we needed a party. I ordered pizza and cake to be delivered. I also ordered some stickers and a bath bomb for myself. Oh, and I got these super cute bunny plates. I had a great time having a party for no reason with my coworkers. I hope I get the urge to do this again sometime.
3/16/2025 – On this day, my mom and I went to the Bay Area Travel show. I had a great time when I went last year. I even got to ask the host of the Amazing Race a question. This year, I did not know any of the speakers. We spent our time at the travel show exploring the different booths. I plan to add some more items to my list next month, and the booths at the Travel Show provided some great inspiration. The booth at the Travel show handed out different items such as stickers, lip balm, and pens. One booth even had shoe charms. We ate lunch at the show, and we got to see some dancers perform. One more highlight of the show was that I got to see a giant bunny. He was so cute and soft! I had a good time at this show, and I hope to go back next year.

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I recently went to the mall for the first time this year! I love going to the mall, and I did some of my favorite things there, including a massage. I’m excited to tell you about to, so let’s get to it.
February 26th 2025
I had this day off, and I was excited to go to the mall to get a massage, shop at Claires, and get Taco Bell. I went to the massage place first. It was crowded, but it was worth it. After getting some much needed work on my shoulders and back, I went to Claires. They were having a buy three get three sale on everything! I got twelve items. Some of the items I got were hair bows, cute stationery supplies , a set of necklaces, a pen with a squishy duck on it , and a set of cute frog buttons! It was a very successful trip to Claires! Oh, I also got a cute surprise lip gloss at Claires. After my massage and my shopping trip to Claires, I went to the Taco Bell in the food court. I love going to Taco Bell, but the location that was closest to me closed, so since I had an opportunity to go, I went. They had this new birthday cake churro and it was so good ! I knew it would probably be good, but it tasted better than I ever imagined it would! On the way home from the mall, we stopped and got coffee. I really enjoyed my day off!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! In November, I went on a quick trip to LA. It was more of a business trip than a vacation, but I did get to go shopping at a really nice Target store, and I actually put make-up on.
11/14 – This was the day I left for LA, and It was also red cup day at Starbucks. I got my free Starbucks cup at my usual Starbucks location before going to the airport. I arrived in LA that evening.
11/ 15 – This was the day that I went to Target . The Christmas items were out, and I was very excited about that. I got two of the Christmas birds, and I’m really glad that I did because they are sold out at my local Targets now. I’m also glad that I got some Christmas craft kits. Some of the other things that I got were a box of air head that came with stickers, Christmas bath bombs with prizes inside, a Target dog Pez dispenser, a cup that has gingerbread men on it and a cute straw, two different surprise toys, and some Joy Ride candy! After Target I went to Ross I don’t normally go to Ross but I needed to get a dress. While I was at ross, I got an art kit, a Barbie school supplies set, and a hair bow. I also got the perfect dress. The prices at Ross are really good and I want to go to a ross again sometime.
11/16 – This was the day I got dressed up. Getting dressed up is not something I do often, but I was pretty happy with how I looked. Actually, I take that back. I was very happy with the way that I looked. I even made one of the photos of me in that dress my profile picture on social media. Maybe I should dress up more often.
11/17 – This was the day I went back home. I did some shopping at the airport before going home. I do like LA, and I hope to go back sometime.

Hello, my bucket list, friends! In August, I went to visit my family in Idaho. While I was there, I did a lot of thrift shopping, visited a reptile zoo, and more. I can’t wait to tell you about all the fun I had in Idaho, so let’s get to it.
August 6th – This was the day that I arrived in Idaho. I was very happy to see my grandparents and their dog. I also went to Walmart, where I got some stickers that you color, markers, and some bracelets from a vending machine.
August 7th – On this day, I went thrift shopping at two different stores! Of course, I got some great items, including stickers, Barbie books, a bag of rubber ducks, and some plush toys. We also went to Burger King it was a good day!
August 8th – On this day, we went to frozen yogurt. One of the topping choices was freeze-dried Skittles. I put so many on my yogurt because they are expensive to buy in stores. I enjoyed my yogurt and later that night we went to savers. When we got there, we did not have a lot of time before the store closed, but I got some books, including an American Girl book that had stickers in it. I also got some stickers.
August 9th – On this day, my mom and I went to the Idaho reptile zoo. I highly recommend going here if you get the chance to. There are so many interesting reptiles here! I loved looking at all the snakes, lizards, and turtles. I also really enjoyed getting to feed huge tortoises. There are also some birds and fish here as well. We also went back to savers, and I made a quick visit to the thrift store next door. I got some more books, stickers, and a TY beanie baby.
August 10th – On this day, I got Starbucks and spent the day visiting family. This included getting to see some very cute animals, including cows.
August 11th – On this day, we had a family birthday party. We started by going out to lunch, and then we picked up a birthday cake and some other things before going back to the house for cake and ice cream. I also got some stickers and hot wheels cars at the store. It was great to have a party with my family it reminded me of the parties that we used to have.
August 12th – On this day, my mom, sister, and I went on an adventure to one attraction in Boise that I had not been to yet the old Idaho penitentiary. The tour was interesting and I do recommend it but it is definitely not for everyone. However, it is not often that you get a chance to visit a prison, so it was a good opportunity to go somewhere that I normally would not. I still prefer the zoo, though. I also went to Walmart again, and I got a color reveal Barbie, bath bombs, and stickers. I was our last full day in Idaho, and it was a good one.
Thank you for reading about my August Idaho adventure.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! In this post, I’m going to talk about two fun things that I did in July. One of them was a bucket list item! I can’t wait to tell you more, so let’s get to it!
July 10th – On this day, I had a dentist appointment, but they could not verify my insurance, so I went to the beach instead. Before going to the beach, I went to T.J Maxx to get some sand toys so I could build a sand castle when we got to the beach. We went to a small but nice beach. I was not really dressed for the beach since I had not planned on going that day. However, I still had a great time, and I built a few different sand castles. I had a fun time at the beach it turned out to be a great day.
July 11th – On this day, I crossed off a bucket list item by visiting the Exploratorium. I have wanted to visit this interactive museum for a while now. To sum it up, the Exploratorium is full of things that you can touch and that is very different from most museums. You will see some of the exhibits in my photos below. It is hard to explain all the fun things that I saw here but some of my favorites include a cloud made of lightbulbs, an arrangement of blocks that made a picture with a shadow, lots of plants, a ring of ice, and a close up look at corn. I also got some fun souvenirs. I highly recommend visiting the Exploratorium if you ever get the chance too. I’m very glad that I crossed this item off of my bucket list.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I had a great vacation in Tennessee, and I’m excited to tell you more about the fun and adventures I had while I was there. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!
June 29th
The big highlight of this day was going to Parrot Mountain and gardens. This is like a zoo that is focused on birds. You get to hold and feed some of the birds here. I loved seeing the big, colorful parrots here but they do have many different kinds of birds. I do recommend going to this fun and interesting place. I’m very glad that I went to this place during my vacation. It was a whole lot of fun ! The other highlight of this day was going to eat at a Mexican restaurant. It was another good day of vacation.
June 30th
This day was one that was packed full of activities! We started off the day by visiting the most visited US national park, the great smokey mountains. Since we were there during peak season, we got up very early and drove the cade’s cove loop. It was a good drive, and we made some stops where I got some good pictures and a pressed penny. Our next stop was Clingman’s dome. There is quite a hike to get up to this lookout point, but it is a pretty cool spot once you get up there. After our hike, we stopped at a visitor’s center. I bought some fun items there, including another book in the series that I mentioned in my last blog post. This book is called Hello, Smokies and I was very happy to get another one of these very cute books. Before leaving the park we stopped at one more spot because it looked like a fun place to explore. I do not remember the name of this spot, but it had a cool rock structure. When we left the park we road the Ober tram. The tram was fun to ride, but it was very busy on the way up. I liked the ride down a lot better. There were some very beautiful views from the tram. As soon as we were done with the tram, we got out of the area because it was very busy. Later that evening, we went to the Alcatraz east crime museum. This is one of the most interesting museums I have ever been to. The museum covers many topics, including crime seen investigation , cold cases, famous criminal cases, and much more. One of my favorite things here was a machine where you could print out your thumbprint on a card. I highly recommend going to this museum but I would not recommend it for children. That night I went swimming at the hotel pool. As you can see, this day was a very busy but very fun vacation day.
