If you are a fellow Gretchen Rubin fan, you’re already familiar with her Design Your Summer idea! This brilliant concept was sparked in her brain from the following quote.
Basically, you plan your summer to make it more memorable than just letting it happen and slip away day by day; some sunscreen here - some sand in unwanted places over there. Like Davies said, “Adventures are what make a summer.” Does that often seen quote about 18 summers fill you with panic?! It gives me mixed emotions. FOMO that I’m missing out on giving Danielle amazing summer memories; not enough popsicles, too much pessimism. But on the other hand, it inspires me to be passionate about planning! Ready to design a summer filled with big and little adventures and lots of recovery between. I named our summer Staycation Like a Tourist! Other than the joyful jaunt to North AL for “Christmas in July aka Summer Family Fling” that we just returned from, and the wedding in MS that we are heading out for on Friday, we are staying close to home, but living it up with friends and family! Jill, Jethro, and boys were here for a week in June and the Lemire’s will be local next week through mid-August! I’ve already marked several things off our rather lengthy summer bucket list, and am fired up to finish it! Let me know if you’ve designed your summer or if you’d rather let it design you!
Maybe you would want to share your summer bucket list with me to inspire me with ideas? Love the concept!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Sadly, I don't stick to schedules very well though, and time slips by while I procrastinate.
