Expiring Only Child Bucket List

Its official my daughter will have until the middle of September before she no longer is the only child. She had a nice long run of 3 years hogging the attention but soon she will have to share the spotlight. I want to make the most of our time before a little one changes our ability to do some of the things listed below. Not to say these things won’t be done once the little one is born but this is special time just with her and mom/dad. My goal is to take a picture at each event and create a little picture book for my daughter. I try to capture moments but I have be slacking in the baby book and photo book department. We are looking forward to completing our 30+ items on the bucket list!only child

Madison Family
Madison is such a cool city. We love it around here. We live here too and our vision is to create a platform where real parents share real stories and we can all learn from one another. You will get to know real moms doing life right here in our neighborhoods and find information on a wealth of topics – local summer camps, preschools, swim lessons, shops and boutiques, events and experiences as so much more.
