Hey, friends!
I love making bucket lists for the blog, but I’ve done so many at this point that this year, I thought I’d share my list of my own summer goals & some of the fun things I want to do! Hopefully, this will inspire your own goals or just be fun to read. ☺️
- keep my sourdough starter alive and bake bread once a week (+ try new discard recipes!)
- actually finish a writing project
- read all jane austen books (this might be too ambitious, but i’ve been on a book-a-day streak rn so i feel like it’s doable. otherwise, i just want to read emma, sense and sensibility and reread p&p!)
- follow my summer training for xc
- lift at least 2 times a week & stay on top of core/mobility/it band strength stuff
- bible study every morning!
- have an outside tent sleepover in my yard
- design 3-5 websites (click here if you’re interested!!)
- get my drivers license
- go kayaking
- run in new places!
- learn to french braid (i can do dutch pretty well but i have a brain block when it comes to french for some reason??)
- finish decorating my room (this was on my list last summer and we’ve made a lot of progress but there’s still a lot i want to do. i might try to do some posts on it if that’s something any of you would want to read?! comment below!!)
- bake new recipes
- go strawberry picking
- blog posts at least every other week (right now i’m hoping for at least once a week but idk if that’s doable haha)
- write more gratitude lists
now, it’s your turn!
What are you goals and plans for the summer? Comment below!!
Thanks so much for reading!

Ooh this all sounds so fun!! I got my license a couple months ago, you got this! And I would definitely love to see room decorating related posts, I love stuff like that! 😉 Some of my summer goals include getting an aerial(cartwheel without hands), learning to do more turns well in dance, and land them, and edit the novel I finished last year!

What a fun post!
Ooh, I would also love to have a backyard tent sleepover, but all June we’ve had cicadas invade our area. 😣 It’s been pretty awful to say the least, lol.
Some of my goals include spending quality time with my friends and family (especially my older brother, who’s going away to college in the fall), conditioning/practicing for volleyball, get back into my rhythm of writing (which was totally lost during our busy spring, lol!), get lots of hours and experience behind the wheel (I got my permit less than a month ago!), and of course grow closer to the Lord! <33
oh no, those are the worst 😆 your goals sound great, i hope you have a lovely summer! 😁
Best wishes with your driver’s test, Pearl! I’ll be cheering you on with that 🙂
And yes, I’d love to see a post about how you decorated your room! My sister and I have goals to clean out our closet, and maybe try some new recipes this year too.
thanks, lillian!! ☺️
i love the pictures, so cute !! i also have so many of the same things on my bucket list 🙂 i would love to teach you how to french braid better <33 love you girl!
