My Self-Care Summer "Bucket List"

Self-care is something that I work on year round and this summer is no different. There are so many things I would love to do, and while I may not get to every single one, I intend to set out and accomplish 1 or 2 every week. I am hoping to inspire you to make your list too!

• Berry picking.
• Eat lots of watermelon!
• Browse a couple flea markets.
• Go to the Drive-In Movie Theater.
• Visit the farmer's market several times.
• Put up a big sheet and have a movie night in the backyard.
• Fall asleep in the sun (with lots of sunscreen on!)

• Do my yoga practice out in the garden.
• Read on my deck with my tea in the mornings.
• Bring more cut flowers in from the garden. Weekly would be good...
• Hang up my hammock swing again-I skipped the past 2 years! But not THIS time!

Grab yourself one of these amazing hammock chairs HERE

• Give someone a fat, juicy tip-like 50% or more to make their week!
• A trip to an old-fashioned swimming hole in a cool glade.
• Make a summer playlist on my iPhone-gotta rock those Beach Boys!
• Make a yummy, creamy new cold/frozen drink and invite friends over for them
• Beach trip to Harkness Park (At LEAST 3-4 of those)

• Go horseback riding down to a river under the full moon. Let the horses splash and play in the moonlight with us!
• Picnic at the park that is in our pretty little downtown area.
• Check out the small concerts that take place in our local park -all for free! Oh and I can have that picnic at the same time!
• Make more waters with lemons, oranges, dill or cucumber slices.

• Buy and wear a two-piece swimsuit (I am not a THIN woman by ANY MEANS!). This will be tough. Finding, then wearing it, and not caring what anyone thinks, is all part of the process!
• Sit on the docks at Captain Scot's and eat yummy seafood.
• Look for shooting stars.
• Have a Clam Bake Dinner. Make sure there are shrimp and extra lobsters!  Here is one done outside on the grill!
