Summer is Almost Here
It feels like we skipped spring and summer is already here! We had temperatures in the ’90’s last week and I was absolutely loving it! So many people I knew were complaining about the heat, but after six months of being chronically cold I didn’t complain a single bit. The kids are still in school, but they have only 9 school days left before summer vacation, which is hard to believe! I still have to work during the summer (no rest for the weary) but I do try to take a couple of weeks of during the summer – one at the beginning of summer vacation and the second week I take at the end of summer vacation. I do get the weekends off and I have a few cherished days off during the week when I’m not seeing patients. So when I do have time off, I love spending it with my husband and kids. There are so many things we want to do this summer! Summer is the time for pool days, picnics, and ice cream cones with the kids. When it comes to summer outfits, I am all about sundresses, shorts and tank tops (such as this one) to beat the heat.
Summer Bucket List
So what’s on our summer bucket list? Here are just a few things we hope to do this summer:
A trip to the Western Michigan beaches (like we did in this post)
A trip to Chicago (like we did in this post)
See the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (already planned)
Teach my youngest to ride his bike
A trip to Greenfield Village with my kids
A trip to the zoo with my kids
Help my girls set up a lemonade stand
Go canoeing with my girls
Play put put with my kids
Have at least 3 date nights with my husband
Make s’mores by our backyard fire pit
Go strawberry picking
Go to the Ann Arbor Art Fair
Try a new ice cream shop
Have a water balloon fight with the kids
Even though I have to work most of the time, I am bound and determined to do everything on our bucket list too! Our kids are so young, and before we know it they will be grown up and out of the house, so we have to take advantage of the time when they are still young.
My Favorite Summer Looks
As for my outfit, a tank top and shorts is what you will see me in most of the summer (when I’m not wearing dresses). My top is on sale (one of the many items available as part of the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale). This breezy lightweight tank is stylish and it will keep you cool on a hot summer day. This top is just over $35 and comes in five colors. I love the strappy detail on the tank as it just takes a basic tank top up a notch. And I love wearing this pretty lace bralette underneath my tank as it is such a classy and feminine touch.
In my opinion every lady needs a nice pair of white cutoff denim shorts in their summer wardrobe. My shorts from Express are what I love to wear the most, and they too are on sale for under $30.
So what is on your summer bucket list? I would love to know in the comments below!
As always, thanks for stopping by!
