Dear Friend,
Have you started your Summer of Intentionality lists yet? {Missed last week’s Part One: To Read post? Check it out here for details}…
Today I share with you my Summer of Intentionality To Do List aka my list of fun things I want to be sure to experience this summer.
TGBTS/Tami’s 2014 Summer To DO List:
- Take my daughter on vacation alone – Portland in June, Truckee/Tahoe in July, Minnesota in August. So I can go to Curve Camp in Nashville all by myself!
- Ride the steam train in Tilden Park
- Take my daughter on a city bus, a light rail and a train. She’s totally into things that go right now.
- Read 100 picture books with my girl – already well on our way!
- Make {dairy-free} ice cream
- Kayaking at Lake Natoma
- Read outside – at the park, at the pool, at the beach, in the hammock.
- Attend at least 10 yoga classes at It’s All Yoga and use my Curvy Monthly classes at home.
- Host a neighbor get-together – homemade ice pops me thinks.
- Return to weekly meal planning
- Daily meditation – already started!
- River Cats baseball game
- Family bike ride
- Complete the library reading program with the little one. I sign up every year and have yet to finish.
- Splash in a splash pad.
- Swimming pool most evenings (and swimming lessons for the little one – already signed up)
- Watercolor with the little one – already started. We both LOVE it.
- Art days: paint outside on easel, paint vistas outside
- Drive in movie
- Fishing with the grandparents.
- Wash car – at home and at the car wash.
- Picnic lunches with post lunch rinse offs in the water table – already have done several days and everyone feels better.
- Breakfasts outside with our lonely cat – such a great way to start the day! We’ve been eating outside for a week and I’ll be sad when it is over.
- Patio dinners with friends.
- Farmer’s markets on every day of the week – meaning go to new ones around town.
- Play in the sprinkler
- Go to the beach and play in the waves
- Fly a kite at the beach and at the lake house.
- Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge
- Investigate the Crocker Art Museum
- Visit Mendocino County grandparents
- Visit Bay Area grandparents
- Visit Minnesota grandparents
- Build a sandcastle at the beach
- Make sidewalk paint/chalk
- Walk 100 miles
- Drink fruit infused water – cucumber, lime, watermelon, pineapple. YUM!
- Take a wagon ride
- Family hike somewhere cool.
Are you noticing a pattern? Not a typical to-do list! A list of fun things that would get lost in the day to day of life (or in the air conditioned house watching endless hours of Sprout) unless we are intentional with our time.
I do hope you decide to make you own Summer of Intentionality lists. Please leave a comment or send me a message and tell me all about it. If you’d like to take a peek at some of my lists from the past click here.
With lots of love and compassion,
Tami
