If I say ” I’m running errands” it means I’m doing like one important thing. Then….going to Target. It’s always a good day when Target is involved, am I right ladies?
Today I’m sharing 18 fun things to try this summer ☀️ and number 1:
Get yourself a cute dress, even if you have no place to wear it.
So I rounded up a bunch of good ones at Target, or course.
Sharing 18 freewheeling ways you can embrace this summer right in your own backyard…..
Get Yourself A New Dress |
I know we technically don’t have anyplace to go, but I’m gonna tell ya – get a cute dress. Wear it. I can’t tell you how good it felt to slip on this little Eyelet Dress. Made me feel like the good ol days. The only thing missing is a big ass glass of chardonnay in my hand. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of this post, I linked up a bunch of super cute dresses for under $30!
Try A New Hiking Trail |
I have yet to try the Lake Clementine trail. It’s on my list. Along with a couple others in Tahoe. Hoping to cross one off the weekend after next.
Give Grilling A Try |
Cory has a Treager Grill and last weekend I gave it a go. My chicken + sausage turned out so damn good. And there is something about a gal that can grill. Google that shit. Get a meat thermometer. You got this!
Take Up Paddle Boarding |
Anyone else have terrible balance? Bay + I are going to paddle board at the water park in town. If you want a good laugh, come and watch 🙂
Sign Up For An Art Class |
Even if it’s virtual? I really want to learn to sew. Not like a whole blanket or anything crazy, but maybe something really small. ha!
Grow Your Own Herbs Or Veggies |
We discovered an herb garden + tomato plant in our raised beds at the new house. I am bound and determined to not only keep them alive, but to add all the veggies I can to the beds. What’s easy to grow? Asking for a friend.
Start A Wine Tasting Group |
Anyone want to join? Monthly. Taking turns hosting. Drinking a glass or wine (or 15) paired with some kind of snack. Doesn’t that sound fun?
Try A New Hair Style |
Bound + determined to master the Three Barrel Waver. Or a cute side braid.
Become A Pro Cocktail Maker |
Going to challenge myself to come up with a cocktail of the month. Thinking of trying some kind of spiked iced tea? Martini Mama Liz is goals!
Get Into Tie Dying |
The trend has gone viral. It’s the covid thing to do. Have you seen my post on {bleach tie dye diy}? It’s quickly becoming one of my most viewed blog posts to date.
DIY Candles |
Wouldn’t it be fun to make a batch and gift them to all your homies? I’m obsessed with masculine scents at the moment. You can order everything on amazon too!
Take A Country Road. Roll The Windows Down. Blast Your Favorite Songs |
Top down screaming out money aint a thing. My fave jam to blast….Juicy. What’s yours?
Create The Ultimate Hot Dog Bar |
Picture a plethora of condiments + toppings. Wouldn’t this be fun? Let’s get out grilling practice in and make it happen.
Snow Cone Happy Hour |
Take the kiddos for a snow cone happy hour. Then rush home and spike yours. Ha!
Host A Backyard Movie Night |
We really wanted to pull off a backyard movie night for Bay’s 14th birthday, but #coronavirus. Once it’s safe, I cannot wait to do it. Or maybe we’ll do a little fam-bam movie night.
Treat Yourself To An Armful Of Magazines |
Remember when gossip + home decor mags were where we got all the good scoops + inspo? I want to ditch my phone and lay out with a pile of magazines. For old time sake.
Get A Facial |
I got my very first facial this week. AND definitely not my last. Ah-mazing. I vow to take better care of my face from this point on. Check out Esthetics By Mel and books yours!
Bake Something Fun |
Just ordered this Wilton Countless Celebrations baking pans for Bay + I. I cannot wait to make some fancy cakes.
