This week I have lots of fun summer to-do lists for you, written by some of my bloggy friends! Danielle is starting out the week with a whimsical post. I hope you enjoy them! :]
this summer i am having fun letting the boys be boys. most days we are puddle jumpin’, swinging, sliding, catching frogs and in the pool for countless hours. also, i like to have fun in the summer by…
1. having picnics in the back of our minivan:
2. riding my pink vespa everywhere:
3. spending a week here with my man. just me and my man. as in … sans kids:
4. traveling the country in our delightful camper:
5. and getting tattooed:
okay, so none of these things have actually happened.
but, hey, a girl can wish right?
that is what summertime is all about.

We are actually doing one of the things on her list. The kids are at grandparents’ house for 7 whole days. They left on Friday evening. We had so much fun together time this weekend. I’d recommend a kid vacation/staycation to all parents. It really allows us to reconnect to one another. So exciting to have an entire conversation!

that’s such a good idea — super low-cost but such a high ROI ;D
dating, even though we’re married, is one of my favorite things about being married. good for you two to do that also ♥.

It’s so great. We will celebrate 11 years of marriage in October. Sometimes life gets crazy and you just have to slow down. This is our slow down.

That is such a perfect summer wishlist. I am so envious of whoever out there owns that super cute pink vespa.

I was about to very envious that one person could have that much cuteness in her life. Ha! Lovely post. A girl can dream…

What a great wish list! These photos are so pretty and inspiring!

Every girl should have her own pink vespa!
(That’s what I’m gonna tell my husband, anyway)

Something my husband and I need to do more of is get out with no childrens:) Once in a while we do, like the other night we went to the new transformers movie. (way to much transforming for me) Grandma will be taking ALL 5 of the kids overnight tomorrow and it has been a year since the last time. Let me tell you how fricken excited we are for that!!!!

That looks like a lovely breakfast in that camper. My husband has been trying to convince me that buying a small camper for little weekend camping trips would be a great idea and this picture almost has me convinced….he’ll be very happy :)

So, when I saw your #5 on Pinterest, I pinned it myself. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect for me tattoo for years.
Yesterday I used this very picture to get my first tattoo. I tried to find a similar font unsuccessfully so I just used it because it was exactly what I had been looking for.
