Have you heard of this blog?
Read here about how "I am..." came about. Megan from Brassy Apple, is the creative genius behind it. She is an inspiration! She has different themes going on every month, and July is "Enjoying Summer." I entered in a photo of M and Me and it's being featured on the blog today!! So fun! Be sure to leave her some comment love from us!

Speaking of Summer...

Have you heard of a bucket list? Well around here we definitely support lists, goals, and dreams. And even more importantly, we like them to be carried out. With that being said at the beginning of this summer the hubs and I made our own fun Summer bucket list.

I grabbed some clothes pins, a Sharpie Marker, and a drink holder bucket and went to town.
As we complete each fun activity, we throw the pins into the bucket! It's been so fun!
Then last week I needed to use the bucket for a party we had... so... I whipped up another "bucket" for us to use. I used one of M's empty formula cans (I can't seem to throw these away... anyone else with me?), some scrap paper I had left over from my Weekly at-a-glance calendar, and stickers. Now it matches our kitchen decor and can be used well after summer is over! Love it!
So even tho summer is technically half way over, it's never too late to start a Bucket List ;)

********************************
Even with the 4th of July holiday right around the corner we are still hosting our weekly linky party "Strut Your Stuff Sunday," tomorrow! Be sure to link up your latest creations! We can't wait to see what you've been up to! Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!

Linking up to some fabulous parties here.

  13. GREAT IDEA!!! Over the years with our kids we have made lists for goals, activities, money, rewards and every summer we have a wish list. But we have NEVER done something like this with our summer plans! I love that you put the pins into the bucket when you accomplish an activity. This is so fun! I'm following you, now :)

  17. I love this idea. We actually had our 8 year old write out a list of what he wanted to do this summer but this is so much more fun. Going to feature this on Friday morning. Thanks for linking to Bacon Time.

  35. I love the bucket list idea, always a reminder of what you HAVE done, not JUST what you're looking forward to. A great fun and creative idea for kids in school holidays.

  36. There are so many comments already, but I've gotta put my 2 cents in. This is such a fun way to get your "to do" list done. My hubby just told me the other day that he had put together a Summer bucket list. But there's no fun in just looking at a piece of paper and marking lines through your achievements, right? This is so much more fun. AND we can all do it together as a family. I think we'll have a weekly contest. We'll have a bucket and the kids will have a bucket. Whoever gets the most clips in the bucket at the end of each week gets a prize. Mom and Dad will win no doubt! I better start picking out what movie I wanna go see and what I feel like eating out. :) This really put a swagger in my step! Seriously!
