Summer is pretty much here and, unlike last year, I plan on making the most of it, even if that means not doing a bunch of things at all times. Last year we were finishing up the house and were constantly on the go go go. And yeah, we had lots of fun and did some things, but I don't think we really spent much time just being and relaxing and really letting ourselves sink into the summer vibes. I have goals for us this year, to be more, well, less. To take it easy when we need to, relax a bit, and make enjoying ourselves a priority. We forget to do that sometimes.
All week I have been thinking about some of the things I really want out of my summer and here they are.
Summer bucket list 2018.
- Kayak the Winooksi River to Lake Champlain. This was our goal last year but things got crazy and we never got the chance.
- Camping with the littles and Barb. We promised them all we would take them camping because get this, none of them have ever camped. (GASP!)
- Find coffee table for downstairs. I have been on the look out for a, kind of specific, coffee table for months. I NEED to find one this summer. It's driving me crazy.
- Hang more art around the house. We have a lot of artwork and I have hung up some stuff, but I really need to hang more.
- Visit the Lavender fields. There is a farm in the tip top parts of Vermont that lets you walk through their fields of lavender.I hear it is like magic.
- Stay on top of gardening. Don't get lazy
- Make studio/creative time a priority. I am busting at the seems.with things I want to create.
- Hike Camels Hump. One of my favorite hikes and we haven't done it in a few years so I really want to do it this year. And if we didn't do it until fall, that would be ok too.
- Take it easy. This is a big one. I want for us (me and the mr) to not get so crazy and to let ourselves be a little low-key and maybe spend a day or two doing no much of anything. Last year we didn't really take any time off. We need to do that this summer.
Do you have a summer bucket list? What's on yours?
