Bucket Lists, Reading List, & Some Encouragement

And I'm done!! School's out for the summer!! I can't believe it. It's been a great school year but I am so excited for this Summer.

I decided, since my lil one is old enough now, that I would create a schedule for each day of the week to help keep him busy.

Mondays ~ Make Something (craft, bake, cook)
Tuesdays ~ Time to Read (trip to the library)
Wednesday ~ Workout (go to local kids gym)
Thursday ~ Do Something Thoughtful for Someone
Friday ~ Fun Day (day trips)
Weekends ~ Fun with family and friends, & rest

I created a bucket list of things that I want to do for my fun day trips. Some places include the zoo, the aquarium, a visit to see Thomas the train, Storybook Land, and lots of other fun stuff.

You can create your own summer Bucket List too. Just click the link to download.

I also shared a list of books that I plan on reading this summer. Read this >> post to see what they are!

Before I leave you today, I wanted to offer some encouragement, in light of all that has transpired over these past few days in Orlando. Sometimes we feel so helpless during these tragic situations of life! I know that this one really hit me hard for some reason and I was sad for a quite a few days. Maybe, because it seems like these stories are made to be like just another weather report on TV, and it's not ok!!!! This can not be the new normal. No loss of a life should be treated like just another day. These people matter and however bad it seems to get, there is still hope! Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal, and that process starts with prayer. Simple prayers from you and me lifted up to Him together in faith, that things will get better!

Many Blessings,
