Your Summer Check List 🌞📋

Wow, our to-do list is long!

Not sure about you, but we just gasped at the date — June 13th. Spring sprung and sprang right by us. So we thought it might be helpful to put a little checklist of things we want to experience this summer before the PSLs hit the counter.

This is the only summer of 2025 we will have in our lifetime — let’s make it count!

This is a DYNAMIC list please share your summer activities with us in the comments and we will update this post with your ideas!

Things We Want To Do Summer of ‘25

• Eat ALL the fruit - peaches, plums, apricots, watermelon — heck, even honeydew tastes better in summer (P.S. Have you ever had frozen grapes? They are amazing)

• Beach reads - grab a ridiculous book and just enjoy it. Maybe even make it a romance novel?

• Watch a movie outside

• Take a Day Trip

  • Fire up google’ina and ask her to give a few day trip suggestions. How To Plan The Perfect Day Trip To Catalina Island - fun💡

• Go kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, or throw a tube on the water - but put your buns in a craft and get out there!

  

• Make your own popsicles or ice cream

  • Emily here. Gosh darn it if my daughter didn’t just have playdate with a gal that was like “let’s make our own ice cream.” One trip to the market to grab heavy whipping cream + sugar + some lemon juice + 7 hours in the freezer later and we had RIDICULOUSLY good ice cream. I never in my life would have thought to make it. And yet, here we are.

  

• Head to an arboretum, nature center, garden - heck, even a biergarten. Just any excuse to sit outside and see pretty things (including people)

• Invite an old friend to lunch al fresco

• Try a new term out on a youth - but don’t be gruzz about it.

• Make a great summer salad

• Get ice cream from the ice cream truck or paleta cart

• Ride a bike
