Our Summer Bucket List

I know I’ve been MIA for several months now. I’m sorry I didn’t write or call or tweet. Can we still be friends?

All jokes aside, I really can’t remember why I decided to take a break. I didn’t just let my blog slip into oblivion, I shoved a bunch of things onto the back burner. The year started off great, with a list of projects and goals I had every intention of accomplishing. But, as usual, I didn’t. Home projects went undone. Blog updates went unwritten. Dinner menus went unplanned. Do you know what happens when Menu Plan Monday goes down the toilet? Nothing good, I can assure you! I went over my monthly grocery budget several times, thanks to the dreaded “What should I make for dinner?” question that seemed to run through my head at 4 o’clock nearly every afternoon! NOT planning ahead results in a lot of last minute trips to the supermarket. I’ve learned my lesson, trust me.

Yesterday was the first day of summer (can I get a WOOT WOOT?!?!), so with the new season, I’ve come up with a new list of goals. With the help of my son, I also created our first “bucket list,” chock full of all the places we want to visit and the activities we hope to accomplish by summer’s end.
