**Post disclaimer: I don't want this post to create any pinterest type guilt.. that you should be doing more , etc. I love planning and being out of the house and being active. My kids are at a really ideal age for being out and about, and they both love to do new things. However, I remember not that long ago when my "adventures" would simply consist of surviving the day. My bucket list might have included grocery store shopping or getting dressed. I remember the first year my sister and I started coming up with a list, her kids were 2 and 4, and they were able to go and do lots of things, while I had a baby and felt super tied to the house for naps. SO, if you have kids who have a hard time leaving, or maybe you like being at home, or maybe you have difficult age kids to get out, don't dismay.. i've been there!
One of my favorite things to do with my sister is make our summer bucket list. It's so fun to dream of sunny, warm days ahead ripe of adventure. We don't always accomplish everything on our list, but it's fun to be ambitious. Without further adieu, here is my list for summer 2015.
