Our Summer Bucket List



Do you write a Summer Bucket List?

This is our last week of school and we are so excited to start summer vacation.  I was talking with Tara the other day about summer schedules.  And that is when I realized that we have some sort of activity or obligation every weekend through mid-August.  Now, how did that happen so fast?

I don’t know about you, but when I am this busy, I need to be deliberate about having fun and creating those special moments.  That is exactly what a Summer Bucket List does for me.

At the end of the Summer, I will be able to look back and think of all the memories attached to each activity.  But let me take care to share with all the fellow perfectionists:  if you don’t get to everything, don’t worry!  It is summer!  No tests, no grades, just summer fun.

    Awesome Idea!! We do the same thing, make a Summer Bucket List, but we don’t make it so creative. I will have to try this. The little kids would love it! Did you make them completely on your own? Oh and I would love to know when your garage sale is and any other awesome community garage sales you know about??

        Hi Karie!! I did make this Summer Bucket List on my own – cut it with my Silhouette Cameo. Oh, I hope you do come by for the garage sale again. It would be so nice to see you. It is this Thursday – Saturday (12-14). I actually can’t wait for it to start so I can relax. 😉
