When I shared a post on Facebook at the start of the UK's COVID-19 lockdown on 24th March 2020, I never thought it would have such a big impact, be shared so widely and be embraced by so many people. This blog is my way of tracking what we are doing so that my children can look back at how they inspired the whole thing and learn about/remember what we did during this time.

A little thank you
To say the last week has been mental is an understatement.
My Facebook post about creating a bucket list in a jar during these difficult times went viral, with almost 100k shares, interest from media, invites to write guest blogs from as far away as Canada, charities and psychologists wanting to share and complete strangers from as near as my own village and far as Australia, South Africa and the US messaging me to express thanks and love for what we’re doing.
I never thought our little idea would travel so far and I’m so happy that it might be bringing a small amount of joy to a whole lot of people (particularly to children who don’t really know what’s going on which was what inspired the whole thing in the first place).
Thanks to everyone who has shared, shown support and embraced this idea. It just goes to show in the face of a crisis we’re all human and we all need a bit of hope right now.
The thought of this little wish is one of the bigger things giving me hope and keeping me going - love you Mum xxxxx
