Summer Bucket List 2019 + printable!

Four years ago, I started writing out my Summer Bucket List with Cooper. It’s a good way to set intentions/a guideline of what we each want out of our Summer. It keeps us on task and it’s really great at the end of the Summer to look at the goals we set and accomplished. We also do this before we go on vacations! It’s a very fun/helpful process.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane:

Intentions for the Week:

Happy Monday!

What a weekend! I had the Napa Makes craft fair, spent the night at my friend Helen Jane’s house and went to an art class on Sunday. After all of these activities in the past few weeks, I have a lot of catching up to do. This week is the last week of school for Cooper. Most of the days are half days so it’s a little precarious to get all my work done before school ends. Wish me luck! Let’s start the week with a TO DO LIST. Here are my Intentions for the Week!

Intentions for the Week:

Happy Monday, friends!

This week is WEEK 23 of 2019. Our weekend included a baseball playoff game, a pool party, a photo shoot and house cleaning! We spent Sunday night watching Seabiscuit. It was a pretty nice weekend if I do say so myself.

This week I have a lot of photo stuff going on. I am also prepping for my Napa Makes booth on Saturday.
