Goodbye Summer.....


Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer (sigh) -- but at the same times let's me know fall is right around the summer (LOVE). With that being said, I thought it would be fun to look back on my summer bucket list to see what I actually accomplished! Even though I didn't get to accomplish every single thing on the list, I think overall I had an amazing summer : )

  3. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love making new blog friends :-)

    It looks like you had a really fun summer. I had a similar goal to dust off my juicer and start using it more. I successfully did that for a few weeks.

  8. You had an awesome summer bucket list and despite its length you accomplished a lot on it! Shamelessly reading girly books and not caring is one of my favorites on your list...and I'm glad you got to cross it off! Loved your summer snapshots...I'm so not ready to say goodbye to this season. :(

  9. You did a pretty good job of checking things off your list! It seems like a bunch of them that are left are things you can still do :) I don't consider summer to be over just yet so I'm still checking things off my list!

  15. I felt like I did nothing I wanted to do this summer =( Although it was jam packed with plans every weekend, so I'm sure I did something! But I am sad to report I made it all summer without getting a tan! Ugh, being an adult with an indoor grown up job really sucks!
