I couldn’t resist using a picture of Olaf from the movie Frozen. Not sure about you guys, but my son is absolutely obsessed with this movie!!!!!
So Summer is finally here and even though it’s all about relaxing, enjoying the sunshine, bbq’s, the park, outdoor spray park, the pool, enjoying a Summer beverage or 2, there are still some things that I would like to get done. Most of my list revolves around Summery things and some of them are just things that I want to finally get done. No time like the present.
1. Go berry picking with my son and husband. We finally have a freezer and this is the year I want to go and pick some berries, especially blueberries. I used to go as a kid and I think my son would love it.
2. When in the Okanagan, go to some wineries and bring back some fabulous wines. We went last year and had a blast. I really can’t wait go to again this year.
3. Get into a more regular workout routine. Since injuring my back in November, my workouts have been far and between. I finally got into somewhat of a routine in January and then cold season hit us hard. Now that my son is home it’s even harder. So I’ve enlisted my friend, who is a trainer, to put together 4 workouts for me that I can do at home that are back friendly. It seems like I get into a good groove and then something always happens to mess things up. I’m hoping to be able to workout in the mornings before we head out for the day.
4. Eat healthier. My husband and I have decided to cut out gluten and sugar from our diet. I find for myself that gluten makes me feel bloated and honestly gross. Don’t get me wrong, I will still eat pasta and bread, but not as much as I did before. We’ve been doing this for about a month and I’ve definitely noticed a difference in not only how my clothes feel but also how I feel. This is not a diet, it’s a change in lifestyle. Something that we want to make permanent.
5. Scrapbook my son’s activities from when he was little until now. I’ve got about 3 years of programs, pictures, school pictures of my son in his various activities and I thought it would be a great idea to scrapbook these memories. I’ve picked up a scrapbook (thank you Dollar Store), paper and stickers. All I need now is to get the pictures developed and I’m ready to go. I’m so excited to see how it turns out!!!! 
6. Read some more Summer books. I love to read, anything really, but I find that I want to stay away from serious books in the Summer. I enjoy light hearted, funny, romantic stories. Perfect way to spend a sunny day at the beach.
7. Finish watching Season 2 of Orange is the New Black. Holy shit, what a great show!!!!!! I just finished the first season and I can’t wait to see what happens in season 2.
8. Go to the beach with my son and play in the sand.
9. Relax and enjoy Summer It’s the last one before my son starts Kindergarten!!!!!
10. Enjoy more date nights with my husband!!!!!!! We are headed to Seattle in July for my birthday for the weekend and I can’t wait!!!!! I’m really looking forward to spending some uninterrupted time together, just the two of us. I feel like we can’t have a conversation without someone interrupting us. Every couple needs some time together and it’s been 2.5 years since we last had more than a day together, just the two of us.
So what are your plans for the Summer? Are the type to plan everything out down to the last detail or do you just fly by the seat of your pants?
May this blog inspire you to get some things done that you’ve been meaning to, make your own Summer bucket list.
Happy Monday Everyone!!!!!!
