Crafting Your Summer Bucket List
We are just one week away from summer officially kicking off! We are currently looking at our calendars and filling in the dates with fun plans, shocked by how many weekends are already spoken for! But summer is the ultimate time to slow down a little. School schedules hit pause, trips get planned, and we have long, warm days to spend outside.
As you think about the days ahead and make your own plans, we’re sharing our summer bucket list. This is our list dreams for the summer that we hope to enjoy. We have some of the simplest moments and some larger plans on the list. We hope this list inspires you to make your own bucket list!
