Summer To-Do List

While giving in to my most recent obsession, Pinterest, I came across a board titled "100 Days of Summer". And because I live for lists, it inspired me to make my own list of things I want to do this summer. I pinned some of her ideas, found some other ideas in a few places, and will continue to add to the list as I see fit. I always have big plans for summer,but by the end of summer cannot tell you a single thing I did. Hopefully this list will help me make the most of every day. Some of the ideas that I pinned we won't be able to do, simply because Braysen is too little, but I figured I could save those ideas for next year. I do have other things on my list, I did add a few other things to the list, which aren't as exciting (such as reorganize my cake cabinet so that it is actually functional and I can find things when I need them), which I'm sure nobody cares to see, but I figure if I put it out there, then there's some type of accountability, and hopefully I'll get it done. :)
