When I think of summer, a lot of things come to mind. There’s lots of outdoor time, BBQ and random adventures. Truthfully, there are a million things to look forward to as the temperature rises. I’ve decided to narrow it down to my TOP TEN. Here’s my short list of things I’m looking forward to this summer!
Fun activities with my bay-beh’s! We already have a pretty packed schedule. We’ll still keep things going through the summer with swimming classes and camps. The rest of our time will be used for exploring. I have so many places that I like to hang with the kids (most of them are FREE) and they are always up for an adventure.
There will be lots of time spent at the beach! I can’t tell you how much I love living 15 minutes from the ocean. There really is no reason not to enjoy it as much as possible. One beach the kids and I go to has a playground with a snack stand nearby. Winning!
We have been talking about a vacation for a while. We are trying to narrow down where to go. There are lots of places in California alone to explore but maybe we’ll venture outside the state – who know? Any suggestions?
Summer festivals are always cool. It just great to get out and see and experience new things.
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before but summer/spring clothes are probably my favorite. I love the carefree style with bursts of color. I am also a huge fan of sandals. I have way too many but I get my money’s worth in the summer! I rock these beauties from Victoria’s Secret every year!
I’m hoping to get to sleep in every now and then. Those rare times when my kids decide they need a little more rest in the mornings… I’m looking forward to more of that – PLEASE!
This summer, I’m working out the details for hosting a live event based on blogging. Exciting!
My girlfriends and I have been planning a “paint and pour“ night for a while now. It’s actually going to happen next month. We’re going to get our artistic skills on while sipping some vino. Should make for some interest art!
I’m also thinking about attending my high school reunion. I have been toying with the idea for a while now. We’ll see if I actually make it there. As of right now, it’s cutting it too close to our vacation dates.
I’m also super excited about the e-book that I’m working on. It will be out this summer as well. I’ve been working hard to put together something for mamas. Find a sneak peek here!
What are you looking forward to this summer!?

That’s fantastic you live so close to the beach – I would love that! We have a waterfront not too far but it’s just on the river overlooking NYC. Nia’s asked to have her summer bday party there this year so besides baby arriving that will be the other big event of the summer. Can’t wait to see all your adventures!

I am looking forward to road trips this summer. Even if it’s only a couple hours away, getting a change of scenery can be uplifting. 🙂

We spend pretty much all summer at the beach. We only get 3 months of beach weather here, so we take full advantage.

To be completely honest, when I saw the first picture I didn’t want to read the rest of this post! I just wanted to stare at my screen, imagine the warmth on my skin and take in all that beauty! I think if you zoom in you’ll see my name on one of those chairs! Oh, and sandals are my life in the summer!

A beach vacation sounds like fun. Love those shoes.
That beach looks amazing! I want to go to one without the kiddos. Or at least without the mobile ones!

I LOVVEE those sandals! Victoria’s Secret has beautiful choices when it comes to Summer clothing, bathing suits, and shoes. I can’t wait to head to the beach this Summer with my daughter.

Swimming is usually my “can’t wait to do” thing every summer. It’s so nice to relax at the pool and a great way to get some exercise!

I would say my top 10 for the summer is Beach, weight loss, tanning, theme parks, bbq’s, new clothes, a pool in the backyard, gardening, laugh, enjoy!
We have a bucket list of at least 7 things we want to do this summer. Two of them are already planned and booked. One might happen this weekend (which I’m holding off on publicly discussing!)

I just can’t wait to spend the summer with my kids. No real schedule, just us hanging out! Late nights, movies, stories, trips to the park! I can’t wait
I am looking forward to visiting with family. Traveling with kiddos is always difficult- but it is so worth it to get a visit in!

We love to travel during the summer. It doesn’t have to be a big trip…it is usually not….more a series of little adventures.

I bet you’re going to have an awesome Paint n Pour. It’s fun that you’re making something you’ve been talking about and wanting to do, happen. 🙂
I just love that it’s lighter outside longer. IT’s too hot here to enjoy it though!

Days spent on the beach are days well spent 😉 One of the things we’re really looking forward to this summer.
I’ve always wanted to do a paint night! Good luck with your life event

I am so in agreement about the beach. I will be spending the weekend planning a beach trip.
Summer is wonderful and it’s so good to get some time to relax and enjoy! You got me dreaming about going to the beach with my son!
So one of my major must does for summer just happened we took a family trip to Orlando to take my son to Legoland and Universal Studios. His cousins (w/their parents) from Northern Cali met us there for a week of fun.
-I want to spend time working on my physical self
-want to teach my son to ride his bike and tie his shoe
-me and some friends always have a mommy’s gone wild weekend (kid free and act like we are in college) I love it its an annual thing
For your trip if you stay in Cali..visit the Russian River

Ermagoodness, I’m so behind, I haven’t written a summer 10! I only have 6 days until summer, too! I’d love to spend some time on a real beach, but we’ll hit up the lake since we’re land locked.
