Hey gang,
Summer is so close I can almost taste it!
There are so many things I love about this time of year: sun-kissed skin and cotton dresses and trips to the strawberry patch. I love sitting on the porch swing eating popsicles while the littles run through the water sprinkler in the front yard. And this year my own sweet girl will be running through those sprinklers. I just. can't. wait!
I want to make the most of this summer. So I've been working on a Bucket List of all the things I want to do! Some are geared specifically towards little ones - like making homemade playdough! But I like to think that most of these things would be fun for all ages. Because who doesn't love a good blanket fort and building sandcastles?
