Make: Summer Bucket List

It’s that time… what do you want to do this summer?!

This post comes from our blog intern, Emily.

Summer is quickly approaching. This year, (I swear I say this every year) I want to get the most out of the warmest months… summer always hits and fades away all too quickly. Before I know it, I’ve only done a few of the things I hoped to do and long for more time. But, I’ve got a plan this year and it starts with making a list.

Good article, been thinking about the same thing myself. Summers keep rolling by and my son keeps getting older. I’m ready to create some more experiences and your list is very appealing. Please check out my blog at Khezcorner.blogspot.com

The zoo is a horrible place of animal abuse. Please don’t go to zoos people!
