This week is the summer solstice and it will officially be summer! It’s hard to believe it’s already time to welcome a new season. I enjoyed this year’s spring season so much and I hope to embrace as much magic into the summer season. This summer, I’ll be focusing on cherishing time at home, finding ways to continue making my house a home through crafts and other creative outlets, and engaging in all of the fun summer activities. I’ve loved seeing small starts to summer this month; warmer days, daylight in the evenings and early mornings, and farmer’s markets on the weekends. I wanted to share some photos I’ve captured so far to welcome a new season and my summer bucket list I’ll be working on throughout the next couple months.

Summer bucket list:

• make homemade lemonade 🍋
• have a picnic
• take a weekend getaway ⛰
• visit a winery
• lay out in the sun 🌞
• start a scrapbook or photo album
• make s’mores around a bonfire
• go to a drive in movie 🍿
• host an evening with friends
• read a fun summer book 📖
• work on a home project
• make or have an aperol spritz 🍊
• rent bikes and go for a ride
• make a summer playlist
• go berry picking 🍓
• make homemade jam
• watch lightning bugs on an evening walk

Wishing you all a sweet start to summer!
