| Here is the proof! |
Most people love the summer time for it's easy go-with-the-flow, do what you heart desires-mentality. Me: not so much. I need structure, I crave it and I function so much better if I write things down and have them out of my scattered brain. But it's summer, so let's do it the fun way,mkay!
The past trips to the hardware and grocery store always included a quick stop in the paint isle to snatch up some cutie color samples. These things are so cool and free. Sometimes we use them in crafts but this time they will be decorating our living room all summer long.
Summer is long and there are a gazzillion of things that you could do and maybe want to do and when it comes to present a quick idea for a certian day you draw blank, like totally. Can anyone relate?
So one afternoon we sat down together and wrote down our favorite must do's for this summer on a master list. Good, but not good enough, the cuteness factor was missing big time.
So it was Stella's turn to prettyfy this project by using those cool color samples and writing our summer do's each on a swap! We hung them on a miniature clothes line and decide in the beginning of the week which ones we will tackle that very week.
Voila; cute summery and fun and it gives my Mami heart a little more peace over the next couple of months
we love it
Some are already accomplished, some were so much fun they did not leave the clothes line, they will get a second run.
There are so many fun things to do, you can find millions of lists on pinterest but this is what we came up with and what we think, suits our family best. Feel free to be inspired and enjoy your summer as much as we do!

Just to proof that I am really a sucker for lists, I add my mini bucket list for this week to this post.
Last weeks got miraculously totally scratched out and I blame my blog for this. Once you make it public you kind of feel the need to actually stick with it;
So here we go:
- sand and paint the hutch
- find a new book to read
- farmers market
- check up appointment for both kiddos with the pediatrician
- clean out my purse and make copies of all the stuff I have accumulated in there
run in the sprinkler with the kiddos- work on our fathers day gift to Ricky( shhhhh, don't tell)
