This week marked the official start of summer on June 21, the summer solstice and the longest day of the year. I’ve been trying to be really intentional this year about soaking in these long, warm summer days. The seasons go by so fast and I know in a couple of months, I’ll be dreaming of these days. Since we are just a little over a month until our due date, we are trying to make the most of our time as just the two of us. Of course, I am a bit limited as to what I can do because of pregnancy, but we still have a lot of fun ideas to do without venturing too far from home. Here’s what I would call, the ultimate summer bucket list.
I always keep a seasonal bucket list on the sidebar of my blog so you can always check there for updated ideas! Fall and summer are my top two favorite seasons and I love to create a bucket list at the beginning of each season as a reminder to truly maximize the time and not waste a single second. They fly by too fast.

Thank With Google
You may have noticed a new update on my blog! I’m so excited to be one of Google’s paid early testers for their Thank with Google pilot program. Thank with Google is an experimental feature that allows you (my readers) a chance to share which content you value most and why when you purchase a virtual sticker that I’ll be able to see. Your feedback is super helpful to me! It’s a great way to support me, and other creators you enjoy following and allows us to connect and engage. This is what the feature looks like:
There are a variety of stickers you can choose from and you can add a personal message when you send a paid sticker, which are always so fun to read. You can find this new feature in a couple of places on my blog and I’m so excited to hear what you think!
