Today is Mason's last day of school, Dan is already done, I am currently working my extended contract days, and it is Memorial Day Weekend. That can only mean one thing...Summer is Here!!
While we do have a fun summer vacation lined up and I love to travel, I am most looking forward to all the little ways I recharge over the summer. Today I'm sharing my top five ways to "summer"!

I am linking up with Andrea and Erika to share my Friday Favorites.

ONE
Reading
It is not much of a secret that reading is one of my favorite hobbies. Summer is the perfect time to get lost in a good book, or twelve! Next to my library card these are my reading must haves:

TWO
Gardening

I blogged about this a few weeks ago here, but it bears repeating. I love to garden and also attend farmer's markets to buy what I didn't grow. There is nothing quite like eating fresh food in season!
THREE
Exercising
Summer allows me time to walk, do yoga and play all sorts of games like Pickleball. We love being outside. This year, I plan to do yoga poolside with my favorite yoga series here.
FOUR
Swimming
Our pool construction was complete last May and it is one of the best things we have ever purchased. I love a good pool day or pool night. We also have an outdoor projector for movies by the pool. So much fun!

FIVE
Organizing
Every summer I choose a few minor or major organizing projects to complete around the house. While I love to organize, it also allows life to run more smoothly when school starts again. This summer, we are going to organize the boys' memory boxes, which will complete our attic declutter.
Years ago, I implemented this method for school memorabilia. I highly recommend it if you have littles! Each boy has one bin and it's organized by grade level.
Add in copious amounts of baseball (both in person and on tv), visiting the big kids, catching up on all the shows, and playing outside with Mason and my summer is complete.
What do you enjoy most about summer?
Wishing you a Memorial Day Weekend full of all your favorite things!

We have a few more weeks of school and I can't wait for summer to start!
ReplyDeleteI love those gardening things especially those boots.
Oof, I have plenty of things to organize around the house. I thought it was more of a "Spring cleaning" impulse, but considering we're almost in June now, I better start thinking of it as a summer task, ha!
