I associate summer with humidity, sweat, and sunburns. (What? I like the name Debbie Downer).
But not this year. There will be humidity (it's already starting), sweat, and hopefully no sunburns (hello SPF 5,000), but I'm determined to not just see that.
I'm going to remember that people are more relaxed in the summer - that they're not tied to a schedule. I'm going to remember that summer is a time for innocence and fun whether it's through a lighthearted book, or a baseball game, and while I will not change how I feel about sand, I'll admit to seeing why people like the beach.
I'm going to embrace summer and to do so I thought I'd make a list. (Really. You're surprised by this?)
I totally

Have you ever made a fun summer list for yourself? Did you take it in the spirit of summer, or were you all about crossing things off?

That is an awesome list! I love that you are doing this and might need to borrow this idea. I haven't even really come up with a summer list, or a list in general like that, but I have tried to be more intentional about how I am spending my time and who I am spending my time around. I also try to unplug on weekends from twitter/email/facebook, etc.
Here's to a wonderful summer!
Fantastic list! It sounds like it's going to be a great summer for you!
Go to Mt Vernon with me and Jen!! Sunday, July 15th. :)
The last time I made a summer list... it's been awhile. With as hectic as things have been lately my goal is to just get through sometimes. But that's sad. So this post is inspiring me to do things! So thank you :)
I've seen these summer fun lists on a few blogs and I love it! I really want to do one. Maybe after the wedding :)
I love this! I'm definitely going to do this soon! :)
I started a summer list last week and then I got distracted, but I love the idea!
Also, when you said wear only sundresses, at first I read it as sunglasses, lol. That would be an interesting thing to post about :)
This is a great list! I made one for myself earlier in the year and I have to remember to keep visiting it so I stick with it. I think your printed version edges mine out on that front! :)
