We’re making summer just the way we like it! With our summer bucket list, we’re creating an unforgettable season. Let’s go!
I’m sitting here at our dining table, and although it’s already June, it’s raining outside — and suddenly, I feel this strong craving for “summer.” There are so many things I want to do in my head — some with my family, some just for myself. Sounds like the perfect time to make a new list! A list of what I want to experience this summer!
It’s become a little tradition in our house that the Minis make their own summer bucket list just before the school holidays begin. From “eat a delicious ice cream” to “visit Abuela in Spain,” anything can be added to this wish list! The Minis write down their ideas, and then we try to make as many of them happen as we can. The goal isn’t to check off every single item — it's okay if some wishes and ideas stay open!
Last year, I made my first “to-want list” for the 4th quarter of my blog, and it was amazing to see how it helped me keep my goals in sight and accomplish most of them. Back then, the list was mainly focused on my blog and baking topics. This year, my summer bucket list is all about having an unforgettable summer. Sure, there will be some baking adventures, but that’s not the focus! This is more about experiences and activities I want to enjoy this summer — not goals I want to achieve. It’s more about fun than success!
So here we go!
