Hello hello start of June has really felt like the start of summer I've been joking
that we're transitioning from Spring fairies to summer mermaids that's how I'm looking
at it and I'm just so excited to spend as much time soaking up the Sun as possible and
I absolutely want to spend some time brainstorming a summer bucket list later I love to do these
every single every single season I totally forgot to do it for Springtime but I I just
think it's such a great way to intentionally think of activity ideas and then you have
this list to reference whenever you have an open Saturday or you know you don't really
have anything on the agenda but you know you want to do a little summer adventure and I
used to do this when I was younger and I never want to stop doing it because I just feel
like it's so fun and helps you just make the most of whatever season you're in so we have
that on the agenda within the next couple of days but today the plan is I've been doing
some work this morning and I'm about to go pick up my friend janeshka she moved to Arkansas
so I haven't seen her in a while and I'm so excited to reunite with her we're gonna go
spend the day or a few hours at the spring and do some swimming soak up some sun so that's
what we have up first for today
thank you [Music]
[Music] thank you thank you [Music]
[Music] [Applause] we are back from our day at the Springs it was such a beautiful day
but we did have a few snap Foods we'll really just one snafu but it was a big snafu so we
pulled up to the springs which so excited to go it was about noon so it wasn't I think
they open at 8am so it wasn't really early but still wasn't that late in the day and
we pull up they're completely full the state park is closed because it's completely full
one second Palmer's getting into something Palmer so we pull up and it's completely full
which was such a bummer because we drove like an hour to get there um so we took our we
went to Publix on the way there to get some stuff for lunch a little picnic I ended up
taking it like down the road a little bit and there was picnic tables which was nice
but still kind of a bummer but thankfully we were able to get into the Springs at 2PM
it really ended up being 2 30 p.m because by the time we got through the line and paid
to get into the park it was about 2 30. so we didn't have a whole lot of time but it
really was so beautiful it was truly a Mermaid Cove Lagoon very very stunning place so it
did work out in the end and it made it like extra special that we were able to make it
happen because we were about to just turn around and head back to our area and just
kind of give up on it so I'm glad we stuck it through and made it happen because again
it was really beautiful day so now I'm back home and I'm just touching it up I don't have
to tie I don't have the time to take a shower unfortunately but um it's my sister-in-law's
birthday so we're having a little family birthday dinner so we're headed out to that and then
gonna head home we're having a pretty early birthday dinner so probably get some down
time tonight which will be nice foreign

thank you

[Music] hello hello good morning I have been getting organized today just working on a
lot of laundry both of our laundry bins were overflowing so I've been doing that and tomorrow
we're actually leaving super early in the morning to go to North Carolina we have a
wedding this weekend and then before that we actually are gonna spend some time with
Brandon's family in North Carolina so I'm really looking forward to that but it's definitely
sneaking up on us Gonna Miss This little one I wish he was coming but yeah I'm doing the
laundry and then I also want to start packing we don't know exactly what time we're going
to leave in the morning probably around seven or so so I would love to be able to get the
majority of the packing complete today and all the computer work I can I will be bringing
my laptop if there's any work I need to get done while we're away but yeah that's sort
of the agenda and then later this evening I'm actually taking Palmer to my mom's house
because she's gonna watch him while we're away and then after that I'm going to my friend
Greta's house she's doing a little Alfresco backyard dinner party tonight and I'm really
looking forward to that so I just took a shower I actually I took a bath last night but I
didn't wash my hair from the Springs yesterday so I gave it a nice wash which is always nice
before traveling anyways so I am gonna let that dry out and then probably get ready around
4 P.M and then head out to those extravaganza the backyard dinner Extravaganza but yeah
let's just get organized beforehand oh another thing I really want to do today is make our
summer bucket list I really last spring I forgot so I don't want to forget this season
and I always think it's preferred to make it at the beginning of the Season or before
the season even starts so that we have our list of ideas ready to go so how about we
go outside get some sunshine and brainstorm some Summer Dreams
[Music] thank you [Music] foreign
[Music] [Applause] [Music]
so for tonight I am going to bring a non-alcoholic little Spritz a little refreshing beverage
So the plan is to make this concoction I'm using this beautiful vintage glassware which
makes any drink look fabulous and I'm gonna put in some of this strawberry lemonade and
then I also have some Lacroix the lemon cello flavor is perfect and she's going for more
of like an Italian Alfresco dinner so I feel like the limoncello flavor pairing will be
really good and then I also have a grapefruit so with this I want to cut some slices just
to kind of garnish in the pitcher and then I'll juice some more of it so that's my game
plan [Music]
that pulled up a lot more than I was expecting
[Music]
I have decided to come to my senses and transport the drink in this wet jar because I can put
I can feel a lid on it whereas this I would just literally have to balance this and absolutely
I would just go everywhere so I'm going to make the drink in here and then just transport
the pitcher and that will be a lot easier and I can fit more in this jar I think oh
not really it's basically the same size but this will just make a lot more sense
[Music] foreign [Music]
we are dressed and ready to go and I'm about to run out the door get on my way I love this
dress though it is a rental from newly I'll link it I'll link the specific Brandon stuff
but I really like this yellow color and it's so stretchy and comfortable and then I put
my hair in this high messy Pony slash bun situation I've been loving this for like really
warm days I probably will end up taking it down because we're going to make flower crowns
but it feels nice to have it kind of out of the way for now
hahaha [Music]
thank you
[Music]
these little like chocolate ones they're calling me [Music]
thank you
[Applause]
thank you [Music]
back home so wearing the flower crown I don't want to take it off I don't know what to do
with it I know in the past I've left them on the counter and just let them dry out and
it still looks pretty so maybe I'll do I'll do that but the flowers keep falling out so
it's kind of hanging by a thread but I just realized I never read the summer bucket list
that we created so I want to take you through this because I really love some of these ideas
so the first one make homemade popsicles I already have popsicle molds I forget when
I first made them but I went through a phase where I loved making homemade popsicles so
I definitely want to do that again grow the second one is grow fresh aloe in the garden
I have been loving doing this I have a tiny little aloe plant in our little water feature
we've created and what I love to do is after a full day in the sun snip off a little aloe
leaf peel it apart and then apply the fresh aloe to your skin because if you have ever
done that the aloe vera gel it has different properties to help your skin heal from the
Sun so I want to continue to grow aloe and I just want to tell more people about that
so that they're able to use that fresh aloe I think it's just so cool too take a take
a bit from the garden and use it for medicinal um purposes I feel like that's just really
neat so I want to keep doing that and then go for a night swim dance in the rain I love
the afternoon rain showers that we get in Florida so I definitely want to soak those
up and Savor them backyard movie night last year we did a few backyard movie Nights that
were so much fun I especially loved the aquamarine movie night that was a really good time create
a summer playlist music and then make a craft using seashells I have a lot of ideas for
this so we need to start doing some crafts and we need to go to the beach and collect
some seashells as well go snorkeling do a beach bonfire with s'mores yum we'll probably
do maybe we'll do s'mores this weekend in North Carolina hopefully thrift Thrift a picnic
slash Beach Blanket I thought this would be like a fun scavenger hunt to find a nice blanket
for those occasions fly a kite go fruit picking
um um oh my goodness I wrote create a summer playlist twice so I'll need to create two
go fruit picking said that DIY slip and slide go to a concert see as many sunrises and sunsets
as possible
those are the ideas I'm getting sleepy I need to get to bed Brandon's wrapping up in the
kitchen too and we need to get to bed I have a lot of laundry to put away and I need to
shower and we're gonna wake up early so I gotta get my booty moving but thank you guys
so much for watching this Vlog I feel like I've just been running around which I'm so
thankful for it's been a lot of fun activities and seeing friends and it's also beautiful
but I'm definitely starting to Crave some chill relaxed days so we gotta map some out
put some on the calendar but thank you guys so much again for watching this Vlog and being
so encouraging and kind I really hope that you're doing well and I'm excited [Music]
