10 Things I Want to Do This Summer

Linking up with Mrs. Deanna Jump for 10 Things I Want to Do This Summer!

Summertime is a time for teachers to relax and enjoy. And of course, still work, too. But, I plan on doing exactly that - relaxing and enjoying the summer months! Below is a list of 10 things I would LOVE to do this summer.

1. I want to go to the pool EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Since we're part of the military, I get to go on base now and use the base pool (which is hardly ever crowded..) and just tan my little heart away!

2. Not only just the pool, I'd love to go to the beach! We live 45 minutes from 1 beach and 1 hour & 30 minutes from another! Why not utilize it if we're so close?!

3. We're moving - so redecorating! I can't wait to make the new house look how we want with our own decorations. And, the new house is colorful (paint wise), so it makes it that much better!

4. Read. Read. And read. I have sooo many books in my bedroom that need to be read, when's a better time than summertime to read? Some are PD books, but quite a few are "for fun" books, too!

5. Cookout. We've got a fantastic grill and the house were moving into, it's got a beautiful deck. Take advantage of it while we can.

6. Meet up with Mrs. Emily who blogs at Curious Firsties! We've already got a plan, just need to pick a time and place to meet and we're golden :)

7. Go to Arizona. Hubby & I are going a few days early to spend some time together in Sedona (pictures from TripAdvisor of our place we're staying below) and then meeting my momma & sister in Phoenix to spend time with my Grandma! Cannot WAIT for this beautiful vacation.

8. Blog & create. Throughout the school year, I lacked BIG time on blogging and on creating for TPT. I love to do both, so the fact that I didn't do either is not a good feeling! So, I plan to hop back on that train and get to work ASAP.

9. CRAFT. I love to craft and have soooo many ideas of what to craft, just never sit down and do it. At the new house, I have a room solely dedicated to my craft stuff, which means I have my own space to do as I please. I am SO excited!! A lot of the projects are on my Pinterest board, but below are a few ideas that I'd like to do - click the pictures which link directly to the bloggers' posts about them :)

   

10. Spend time with my husband and our fur babies - this is my number one thing I want to do. These last 6 months, I didn't get to see hubby much because he worked nights and I worked days. But, with me being off during the days, we'll get to see each other often. And, we'll have weekends to do with as we please. YAY!

That's it! That's my 10 things I WANT to do this summer. Head on over and link up with Mrs. Deanna at her blog for this fantastic linky party!

See y'all soon!

My Summer Bucket List Linky Party

I'm linking up with Hadar (Miss Kindergarten), Teri (A Cupcake for the Teacher), and April (A Modern Teacher) for their Summer Bucket List Linky Party!

Since we moved to a brand new state (Alabama) in late November, I've got quite a few things I want to do this summer since it is our first summer here! What a perfect time to go ahead and link up with the summer bucket list! So, here goes :)

1. Get a library card!

We have 4 libraries within 30 minutes of us and I kept saying I wasn't going to get a library card because it was too far away, but I drive that to do anything else so why not? Plus, there are 29834798 books I want to read so I'd love to go ahead and get a card :)

2. Go to New Orleans.

{SOURCE}

We only live about 2 1/2 hours from New Orleans, so I'd love to make a trip out there. I've heard nothing but great things about the culture, history, and of course, the fun, about it!

3. Go to the beach as often as possible.

{SOURCE}

Being that we now live in a Southern state, we only live 45 minutes from Dauphin Island and about an hour and a half from Orange Beach soo I would LOVE to go to the beach as often as possible! I'm a beach bum and always have been so why not use it before I lose it?!

4. Knock out some Pinterest pins.

I don't know how in the world I ended up with SOOOO many pins (bahaha, who am I kidding? Yes I do!)... but I want to go through and knock some out by completing them so I can clean up my boards a bit. Since I've got the time besides working on schoolwork this summer, I want to do as much as I can.

5. Organize my house.

We're still partially in boxes. This is because there's NO storage in this house. My plan to solve this? Buy some shelving to store everything! This should help, I hope. Otherwise, I'll come up with some other method to get us out of boxes and into a real organized fashion.

6. Last but not least, make some more products for my TPT and TN store.

 

I love what I do. I love making products for others to use in their classroom with their students to help them learn. Making products is what makes me happy, so I'd love to make as many as I can throughout the summer. That way, when I get into my classroom in the fall (FINGERS CROSSED!!), I'll have products I can use for my students, too!

What's on YOUR bucket list?
