I switched on the swamp cooler this afternoon, which means it’s official. Summer, my friends, is here!
Here’s my list o’ fun things I want to tackle before it’s sweatshirt weather again.
- Eat at all the Utah restaurants featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives
- Make pesto
- Picnic on the capitol lawn once a week
Yes, the food theme is not at all lost on me here. A girl’s gotta eat okay?
- Decorate our bedroom
- Hike Red Butte Garden trails
- Master homemade ice cream
- Road trip once a month
- Take a beading class
- Clear all the dead bodies out of the basement
- Buy heirloom tomatoes at the Downtown Farmer’s Market
- Visit the gift shop at Utah’s Trappist Monastery Abbey of Our Lady of the Holy Trinity
What’s tops on your list?
I want to read all the books in the library. (okay, so I’ve only got 30,000+ to go) but just having some quiet time to read and sit outside is all right by me. I’m pretty easy to please.
I know a FANTASTIC gal who’s great at decorating who can help ya with your bedroom.
I want to take the kids on SOME kind of vacation this summer. We’re thinking Eureka Springs.
I need to clear all the bodies out of my basement as well. Darn things take up SO much room….and the smell?!?! ;D Love you Brandi–enjoy an amazing summer!
I want to cook more or maybe learn to cook.
I want to picnic with my girls (I love the idea of a lawn picnic) once a month.
I want to read as many books as my family will allow.
I want to take hubby on a date once a month.
I want to take each child on a date once a month.
I want to explore Portland more.
I want to reflect more, … life is just going WAY too fast for me and I want to learn how to slow down.
