This post series comes out once a month and it takes a peek into different areas of our home, relationship and life.
This month’s topic for Let’s Look is taking a peek at our Summer Bucket List!
In case you missed them, here are my previous Let’s Look posts:

Making a summer bucket list as a family allows everyone to have a voice of what they would like to do during the summer. It will also help you be intentional with making plans. If you don’t have a loose plan of what you want to do during the summer months, the days will keep passing you by and memories won’t be made.
It’s a good idea on Sunday to look at your schedule for the week and see where you can schedule in things off of your bucket list. This way you can still have down time but also have a plan to make memories as a family each week. We only have so many summers with our kids so let’s make it a FUN summer!

Your summer routine sounds heavenly! I try to see where we can cross things off our list every week or two also. I find if I’m not intentional with it the whole summer just passes us by.
Exactly, if we don’t schedule things in then summer will be gone before we know it. I hope you get to lots of fun things on your list too!
