50+ summer bucket list ideas for 2024 | ft. the braided vine

Hey, friends!

If you can’t tell, bucket list posts are one of my favorite posts to write. I love coming up with ideas for fun things to do or try, and so I asked Mayim from The Braided Vine if she would want to collab on a summer post with me. She said yes and you can go check out her post, 2024 Summer Essentials, on her blog!

Enjoy reading through these ideas and maybe make a list of your own with some of them on it!
