summer bucket list




Happy Tuesday, friends! Since this is the last week of school for students here, which will always be the unofficial start of summer, I thought I'd talk about a summer bucket list that I've been thinking on for the last few weeks. Here's what I've come up with so far:

  • listen to live music often (I'm looking forward to nights of Summer Concerts on the town square.)
  • entertain often
  • porch sitting before it's too hot
  • play mini golf
  • spend time by the pool
  • beach reads
  • go to farmer's markets
  • work on my closet
  • go on a weekend trip
  • go to the beach (I'm crossing my fingers that I get to go again this summer!)
  • enjoy a fireworks show
  • put up new outdoor lights
  • keep working on maintaining the flower beds
  • water the hanging basket I have and buy three more
  • spray the weeds going in the driveway cracks
  • light more candles
  • paint more of the interior spaces
  • host a best friends night at my house
  • enjoy being outside more on the cooler days
  • meal prep more
  • clean out and declutter more (hall closet, cabinets in the living room)

I feel like I may be forgetting some of what I'd thought of the last few weeks, but you get the gist! What are some things you'd like to do this summer? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!

  1. Great list! We also hope to go to outdoor concerts in our town. I'd like to get a few indoor projects done inside, too, like decluttering. It feels like summer to me now with both girls being done with their school years. But our district goes two days into next week. I have a day and half scheduled to sub this week. So I still have school. But not for long :).

  2. My girl still has another month in college and the schools here don't finish for the summer until the end of July.
    It sounds like you have some great plans!! We are planning on doing lots of the same. We've not been to the beach for years but I'm hoping to this summer.

    1. I hope you get to do this! That would be more special since you haven't been to a beach in so long.

  6. Your list is awesome, my friend! And I think making a list is an excellent idea. Summer passes so quickly and that is a reminder to make the most of it, Have a cozy afternoon!

  9. Summer is not my favorite, too hot and humid, but I enjoy the laid back schedule. I wouldn't mind a long weekend at the beach =)

    1. I do agree about the summer being too hot and humid! But part of me loves the summer because of the activities. Doesn't that sound lovely?!

  10. I haven't made my list yet, but mentally have things I know I'll add there...fireworks, porch sitting, entertaining, and the beach will all be on there!

  11. I am right there with you on the beach!!! We only live a couple of hours from the coast and we don't go nearly enough, so that's on my bucket list this year! I also have several home projects I want to tackle while we aren't busy homeschooling... I'll be working on a bucket list post, thanks for your inspiration!

  12. What a fabulous list! I love all the beachy/summer photos to go with it too. I think some variation of most of these are on my list as well.

  13. I could say ditto to almost everything on your list. Would like to hit the beach this year but not going to happen. I keep going into my closet with all intention of purging to beat the band and then come out of there purging one or two things. I just love my clothes so much!! Ha!!

    I want to spend much more time on our patio and deck this year. Thanks for reminding me to add that to my list. Will be sharing mine on 06.23.2025. Scurrying around now trying to finish all the things on my spring bucket list!!
