You know what I love most about summer? How the most mundane tasks seem more magical, just because you’re doing them outside. We only get three months of this good weather and I refuse to let the days pass me by. To make sure that we’re taking advantage of the warmer weather, I made a summer bucket list for us to work through. And, because I want us to focus on the fun and not the expense, this is a free and/or low-cost summer bucket list.
If you’re looking for ideas, I hope this inspires you!
