summer to dos



1. plan our west coast road trip
2. visit a farmers market or two
3. go to a movie in the park
4. finish decorating out living room and bedroom 
5. try a couple new hair dos
6. host a BBQ (on last years list but never completed!)
7.  make homemade ice cream
8. have a picnic in the park
9. take more late night walks with walter
10. dine al fresco as much as possible

i've been traveling a bunch lately and this weekend is no different as i'm headed to new orleans for a bachelorette party! while i love visiting new places, all this bopping around means even less time to enjoy the already-too-short chicago summer. so in an effort to squeeze every last ounce of sunshine from the summer months, i'm following suit of other bloggers and making a list of summer to dos. and it will be infinitely more fun checking off these "to dos" then the things on my other to do lists. 

what are you looking forward to this summer?

  2. Those strawberries and avocados looks delish. I'm just looking forward to a wonderfully warm summer, one that lasts, and not stays rainy all the time. :)

    Have a great time in New Orleans!!

  6. Great list! I've already started a couple of those... did Green City Market last week, and have already done a couple picnics. I think picnics are my #1 favorite part of summer... at the beach, at Millennium Park, near my house.

    I do feel like summer's already slipping away. I should make a list too. I do really want to do a movie in the park. This is our 5th summer living here, adn I've still never done a movie in the park. This is the year!

  10. that is a great list. I want to do more picnicing spending time outdoors. The wedding is in 2 months so it's taking up so much of the summer but it's a labour of love :) Need to play around with braids more often.
