MY SUMMER BUCKET LIST 2018

Now is a great time to start thinking about what I would love to do this summer. I also find that it’s always nice to look back on previous summer trips and activities to get inspired when creating a list of things to do in the summer. So, today I created a summer bucket list to keep me motivated throughout the summer when thinking of things to do.

1. Use my passport again. Stay tuned for the details on our next trip!
2. Start running again. I look back at my most fit times and it was when I used to run and use weights for my arms.
3. Take roadtrips with my husband
4. Plan a picnic in the park
5. Go to the movies
6. Read a great biography. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
7. Make white sangria for the first time
8. Bake humingbird cake for the first time
9. Work on doing push ups. Right now I can’t do any correctly. If you have any tips, please share!
10. Make homemade pizzas
11. Enjoy dinners on the back patio
12. Send care packages to my son who’s starting college in the summer
13. Go hiking with my boys and husband
14. Watch all of the summer Hallmark Channel movies
15. Buy a new set of makeup brushes
16. Have outside barbecues with the family
17. Sleep in
18. Organize all of the closets in my house
19. Paint the outside of my home
20. Paint the front door and shutters
21. Plant flowering bushes in my yard
22. Pressure clean the front and back patio
23. Find the best products for my hair
24. Plan a summer trip to the beach somewhere in Florida
25. Take a day trip to Key West for the best conch fritters and watch the sunset
