What better way to start the summer than to create my very own summer bucket list! Since starting this blog, I’ve thought about ways of connecting with my readers by sharing personal stories, goals to improve myself and thoughts about life here at the beach.
As with most people, with summer fast approaching, I’m thinking about some activities or adventures we can take the kids on!
We’ve had a long school year up to this point, so I know the kids are really looking forward to planning something fun.
Here is my Bucket List that is constantly changing and evolving:
Should you have a summer bucket list too?
Having a summer bucket list is a fantastic way to make the most of the season and ensure that you have a memorable and fulfilling summer. It provides a sense of direction and excitement, giving you a roadmap of experiences and activities to look forward to.
By creating a summer bucket list, you can set specific goals and aspirations for the season, whether it’s exploring new places, trying new hobbies, or spending quality time with loved ones. It encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and embrace new adventures, leading to personal growth and self-discovery.
A summer bucket list also helps you prioritize your time and make the most of the limited summer months, ensuring that you don’t let the season slip away without seizing opportunities and creating cherished memories.
