Today I’m linking up with a bunch of awesome bloggers to share what’s on my bucket list! This is the same vlog linkup that brought you the “What’s in your Closet?” linkup
Some notes:
There are 2 lies in this video. You will know them immediately. So these are 8 things from my bucket list.
There are no outtakes at the end of this video – they’re in a separate video because this video is long already and there were just so many things that ended up needing to be cut.If you’d like to see them (they might be way better that my actual bucket list video) you can jump on over to my YouTube channel and ch-ch-ch-check em out! They’ll be up, I promise, I just loaded the video this morning.
Speaking of LONG – if you can’t watch the whole thing, fast forward to 5:40 and go from there. I counted down from 10 so that brings you to the top 2 things on my list.
(Spoiler alert: I really am sorry if I caused you heart failure or undue excitement)
I had a ton of fun making this vlog but I had to stop talking every 15 seconds because the pups were barking or carrying on. Eventually I just gave up so there are one or two little dog yaps in here.
It’s hard to share things like this without thinking, “everyone else probably has cooler stuff on their list.” And I think for the most part my list is pretty boring, if not totally predictable. I doubt you’ll be adding stuff from my list to yours if it’s not already on there – but my big dreams really are pretty simple. Of course I would love to do things like walk on the Great Wall and be in Paris for Fashion Week but those thoughts don’t consume me like these do. Okay, maybe #5 doesn’t consume my random daydreams either but it satisfies something deeper in me. And, of course, some of the things on my list are just private.
Don’t forget to go on over to one of the host blogs and check out the other videos! Thanks to Emily, Jen, Miki, Jazmine, Kjerstin, and Justyn for putting this whole thing together!
If you didn’t make it happen this time around, save the date for the next one! August 15!
What’s something on YOUR bucket list?

My name is Kate. I'm a makeup and coffee addict (and total Jesus freak) fighting to lose over 100 pounds. But there's more to life than losing weight. This is where I try to balance it all - and hilarity ensues.

Hey, you changed your header! It looks great
My husband has that anatomy coloring book – we paid what, $30 for it? He has never once colored in it. Maybe I should start.
And you got me with the Surprise! For a sec, I was like, WHAT?! How has this been a secret?! Sneaky, sneaky Kate.

I do keep some of my life (especially my romantic life) secret BUT there’s no way I’ll be so chill about that particular subject
I’d like to think I can pull off some cutesy reveal like this but I know myself well enough to know I’ll just be too darn excited and will have to put it all over the internet immediately.
And yeah, it WAS really expensive which is why I’m like, darn it I WILL finish this book cause that’s a lot of money for a coloring book. Maybe I should have gone with Dora the Explorer after all.
Also, I’m still working on the header since it doesn’t quite fit here (it’s different in the upcoming layout) but I wanted to put some pressure on myself to keep working on the redesign cause if I didn’t I know I would just let it go on for ever. It was time to get my blog and twitter accounts back in sync – and now I’ll have to run around and update all the other sites but that’s how it works, right?
Love this, you just look like you’re having a blast! Your poodles are so cute, it would be fun to have a whole ranch of them!

Thanks, Kate! I almost tweeted at you when I drove through Lexington recently for a lunch recommendation but ended up just passing through. And maybe it would be fun to have a poodle ranch if it meant more space for the little rascals!
haha I’m always happy to provide food recs if you are ever in need!

Dude! I always think it’s so crazy when people WANT to get married and have kids! I fought it tooth and nail and now here I am happily married for a year and a half and hating kids a lot less.. dang it!

Oh, Kate. I just love you
This was awesome! #6 was hilarious!! Love it. I can’t believe I forgot to put “own a house” on my bucket list! I think I was just trying to come up with all the random ones. And of course, as you know, I want to have kids! Loved this! Can’t wait for more vlogs from you
Totally knew you weren’t engaged by the way
I knew you wouldn’t fall for that! You should have seen me digging through my jewelry box to find that ring, haha.
Yeah, I felt like after I watched some of the other videos that mine was just kind of standard – get married, have kids, buy a house – way to dream big, haha. But I’m comfortable with my simple dreams. I’d like to think it’s cause I’m out being adventurous and doing whatever I want instead of putting it on a “maybe someday” list but we know that’s not entirely true either, haha! I guess it tells you a lot about who I am, right?
You’re hilarious! I laughed out loud at the poodle farm. Man I would totally love a kitten farm.
And I had that anatomy colouring book – I think I might buy it again. I think finishing a colouring book is a great goal.
Please vlog all the time. You’re amazing AMAZING amazing at it.
Thanks for joining us.

I take that as a serious compliment coming from you because I think you’re the funniest blogger I know. And a kitten farm would beat a poodle farm any day – every day. I’m not a cat person but I can admit they do have the farming advantage.
Thank you for having another link up! I love these and would totally vlog more often if I could think up things to vlog about – why that seems harder than thinking up a regular blog post I don’t know. But I’m looking forward to next month’s prompt!
Thanks for linking up! I would love to have twins…. Seriously! My husband is a twin, so hey it’s kinda possible maybe.
I’m already looking forward to next month’s link up! And I always feel like a crazy person when I say I want twins but you know, not having any kids right now I feel like I don’t fully understand how hard it is to have one baby so might as well start with two before I can appreciate the difference in difficulty, right?? Oh, if only that were up to me, haha! Glad I’m not the only one
I love this! Your ‘fro is amazing, by the way!
Oh, my fro knows no bounds! Buahaha.
