Summer Goals

Summer is a wonderful time of year to set some fun little goals for yourself and your friend group. Here's my list of totally attainable and super fun summer goals. Share yours with us!

1.) Dance in the rain - like, the good kind of rain. The kind at 5am when the sun is coming up right behind it.

2.) Go to the pool/lake enough times to justify buying an adorable new swimsuit. This is something I tell myself I'll do every summer. Last year, I went to the pool three times. No.

3.) Reserve ONE day off a week to just do - me. Just me (and maybe my husband too *wink*).

4.) Make one last small trip before baby - right now we're thinking camping in the Black Hills or Northern Minnesota.

5.) Oh yeah...HAVE A BABY!

6.) So then...camping!

7.) Attend the Farmer's Market.

8.) Adjust myself to becoming more of a morning person (I won't have much of a choice here, haha). I'm so much more productive before 9am.

9.) Go on a picnic with Paul and Ophelia once a week - make sure we're spending as much time together as a family as possible.

10.) Make a fort - Paul and I used to love doing this together. Assemble it on the front porch or around the TV for movie night.

11.) Read a book a week. I've, regretfully, been neglecting one of my favorite hobbies and using the excuse "I'm too busy" instead. But somehow I have time for Netflix binges at midnight...

12.) Unwrap the yoga mat I purchased a month ago *ahem*. And use it...like for yoga.

13.) Host brunch for our friends at the house.

14.) Visit too many lemonade stands.

15.) Chase the ice cream truck like it's going out of style.

Let's face it, these are silly-easy and whimsical. But, isn't that what summer is all about? I think so. If I don't manage to kill every flower I've planted by the beginning of June, I'd say this list is also promising. Sure, we all have things that need to get done but - always remember to take some time for yourself too!
