Based on the types of days I've had this past week, focusing on something fun like summer is good for my soul. Luckily, my friend Anne hosts an Awesome link-up on the first Tuesday of every month, so let's dive right in!
|| Sunshine. Sure, there is sunshine in the winter. But I've found that the sunniest days are usually the coldest. In June, July and August, bring on the sunshine and hot days!
|| The lake. Have you been to a beach in Chicago on Lake Michigan? So much fun. I also enjoy Lake Michigan on the other side, on the shores of Michigan. For a moment, it feels like you could be on the beach somewhere!
|| June birthdays! Not only my birthday, but my Dad's, sister in law's, my Mom's, father in law, brothers in law are all in June. And A's follows up in early July!
|| Drinks in the backyard. Nothing better than sitting in the back, eating dinner with my family, putting the kids to bed and sitting around the fire. Drinks with neighbors can't be beat! (No driving and no babysitters needed. Win-win).
|| Big Brother. This is by far Amanda and my favorite show. Can't wait!
|| Weekly play dates with my besties. Three of them have summers off - so getting together is much easier!
|| Cottages and Boats. My husband's grandparents have a lakehouse not too far from here. We don't make it up as often as we should, but when we do the days are full of sun, boating, beers and family. Perfection.
|| Flip flops and pedicures. It's pretty nice to be able to just slide sandals on and go. Long gone are the days of taking five minutes to bundle up, just to walk to the car. Twenty if the girls are with me!
What are you looking forward to the most this summer?
