Are you a mom who’s tired, weary, and stretched thin? Why not take a few moments to yourself and check out this bucket list for moms!

Imagine if you could make a mom bucket list. What would you include?

I think I have some of the items on my list figured out, and I thought I would share them with you.

Moms need bucket lists too! Check out this bucket list... especially for #mom! Click To Tweet

1- My kids’ rooms to be clean without me asking for it to be done. I’m not expecting white-glove clean; I just expect no clothes on the floor, and the bed made.

2- To walk across every floor in the house without stepping on something wet, sticky, or sharp.

3- A dishwasher. Remember way back in March of 2015 how I told you my dishwasher wasn’t working? It still isn’t working. I don’t like washing the dishes… at all. My bucket list includes a fixed dishwasher or someone who will always do the dishes for me.

4- A whining-free outing with the family. Whether it’s a park or a nature walk, I would love to enjoy nature without a chorus of “Mommmmm” or “Can we go hoooooome?”

5- One date night per month. Every December I think, maybe this is the year we’ll plan one date night per month. It starts out well in January because that’s our anniversary month. After that, everything goes downhill from there. We never seem to be able to coordinate dates on a monthly basis. I would love to scratch this one off the list.

6- To sleep as late as I would like. This one has to be on your bucket list too. I mean, this is the one quintessential thing every mom wants, am I right?!

7- An uninterrupted bubble bath, with soft music, and a glass of wine… (and no book, because I find it stressful to try to keep my hands dry while reading a book in the bathtub).

8- While I’m in the bathroom… I would love an uninterrupted bowel movement. My husband would laugh at this one because he thinks I poop fast (too much info? sorry). Seriously though, the minute my butt hits the toilet seat, my children are either banging at the door or they begin fighting in another room. A peaceful poop would be bliss.

9- To have my closets professionally organized. I don’t know about you, but all the pictures and articles I’ve been reading about the KonMari method of organizing has got me feeling insecure about the state of my closets and drawers. Yes… I would love to have a professional organizer to come to my home and do this for me!

I envision that I would sit in a chair and under my direction they would toss things into a keep, sell, or buy pile (like on Hoarders). Then afterward they organize the closets and drawers, complete with new storage systems! Wouldn’t that be a dream?!

10- To get through one day without my kids having an epic battle. Just one day, that’s all I ask!

11- To watch a sunrise on my terms (not because I was forced out of bed before dawn).

12- To have a long, uninterrupted nap. Even if I don’t fall asleep and just dreamily lay on my bed! Oh, how divine!

13- To practice yoga peacefully in my living room without my kids thinking it’s an opportunity to crawl under me while I’m doing downward dog.

14- To eliminate #momfail from my vocabulary. This #momfail trend is so harmful. It involves comparison, guilt, and frustration. The feelings compound and each #momfail feels worse than the previous one.

15- Some uninterrupted reading time!

Now it’s your turn. What’s on your Mom Bucket List?! I invite you to leave your thoughts in the comments below and then share this post with your mom communities!
