1. Go to Glacier National Park 

 

2. Celebrate several graduations with extended family 

3. Birthday shopping/lunch with my mom

4. Spend lots of time with family and friends

6. Make our own pickles, jam, and marinara sauce


 

7. Visit the farmer's markets

8. Eat lots of meal outside

9. Get to the beach

10. Go kayaking a time or two

11. Celebrate 4th of July with the whole family


12. See some fireworks

13. Make some homemade ice cream

14. Go to the zoo once the new cheetah cubs are out

15.  Check out a new museum or nature preserve


16. Visit a new to me restaurant

    What a great and do-able list! I am posting mine tomorrow. I always steal some ideas from others' lists, too! My list is not a set in stone thing and I can change and add!

    I just wrote my list yesterday and will share tomorrow. You have a really good list and Glacier sounds like a great trip! I limited myself to 20 things, but summer is the easiest one to write and I definitely could have made it longer. Enjoy your day!

      I just started that last year and we really enjoyed them all so much.. particularly the pickles which I don't normally like or eat. But I liked that my homemade ones were much crisper.

    These all look really good, especially going to Glacier Lake. I haven’t done my wrap up yet. I’m just a little behind!

    I look forward to your "report" on Glacier National Park! That was going to be one of our last assignments as NPS volunteers, unfortunately we had to cancel. And I have not been there (even though we lived in MT for 3 years, LOL!) yet. #MMBC

    Super fun list. I don't typically make a bucket list each season but you did inspire me some great ideas. I think I want to find a couple new to me restaurants. There are so many in my area and, of course, we tend to go to the ones we know. I also would like to make my own jam this year. I like it sugar free and there are not that many options for sugar free in the stores. Plus it sounds fun! Summer is all about the fun:)

      We tend to go to the same ones a lot too; since we only eat out once a month it's hard to pass up our favorite in favor of an unknown!

    Love your Bucket List items!!

    We just checked off two bucket list items for us!

    We needed to visit North Dakota for our 50th state! So we went there! Then, I always wanted to sit on the porch of The Grand Hotel of Mackinac Island. My dream came true! Hope you can read my blog post. We did both!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Spring Photo Challenge 2025

Image
One of my spring goals was to use my "real" camera more often so I went in search of a photo challenge I could participate in for spring. I found some old photo challenge ideas on Pinterest and ended up picking topics from a few different challenges and compiled them into one big list for myself.  Now, not all these photos are taken with my Nikon but it did prompt me to use it a bit more often and not always just rely on my cell phone.

Styling Tropical Prints with Ageless Style

Image
It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Mireille picked tropical prints for our challenge. I am drawn to bright summer patterns and have so many in my closet. That said we've had a very cool spring and since all my tropical print things are sleeveless and better suited to warm weather I put together a compilation of old photos instead.  I often pair a brighter printed top with plain skirts and pants.  Or a brightly printed skirt or shorts with a plain top. Though I do have some full length skirts and jumpsuits that have all over patterns I enjoy too.    Amy ~ Amy’s Creative Pursuits Blog  |  Instagram  |  Pinterest  |  Facebook  | Bo ~ Bo's Bodacious Blog Blog  /  Instagram  / Pinterest  /  Bloglovin' Jennifer ~ Overflowing with Thankfulness  Blog / Instagram / Pinterest Joanne ~ My Slice of Life Blog / Instagram/ Pinterest/ Facebook Jodie ~ Jodie’s...
