My Summer Bucket List & A Giveaway

Summer is almost here and it's one of my favorite seasons. Growing up, I always looked forward to the summer. We had a pool in our back yard where I spent most of my time with my friends. We cooked out on the grill many nights and did lots of fun activities as a family. We also went to the beach a lot and traveled to another state at least once every summer.

Now that I have a little family of my own, I look forward to creating the same fun memories with them. This summer I have lots of fun things planned for all of us, so I decided to create a bucket list. There are a few things that I have planned for myself, a few things that I want to do as a family, and a few things that are just mama and little one.

One thing that I wanted to do as a family, was rent a shore house in Ocean City. We planned this awhile back and as an added bonus, we were able to rent a house with some of my closest friends and their little ones. We had a blast! It was the first time that my son had been on any rides, and he loved it. Watching him get so excited, made my heart melt. It is a memory that I will forever have in my heart. First family & friends beach vacation, check!

Chasing Uncle Den up and down the hallway was so much fun

A few other things that I want to do as a family this summer.

1. Take a trip to Stockton University and walk around. My husband and I both graduated from there.

     I know that a lot has changed since we were there and I think it would be great to go down for the 

     day and walk around.

2. Take a trip to Storybook Land. 

3. Go to Blueberry Hill and have a picnic lunch. I just found out about this little spot and it is so 

    beautiful!

A few things that I want to do for myself.

1.  Spend one day a week working on blog stuff and finish random projects that I have been putting

     off for quite some time now.

2. Take some day trips to the beach with friends and go out to dinner.

3. Read at least 4 of the books on my "Reading List".

A few things that I want to do with my son.

1. Eat ice cream and watch the fire flies at night.

2. Go to the lake, and feed the ducks. 

3. Take a trip to Johnson's Farm to pick some fruit & see all the animals.

These are just a few things that I have listed, but there are also a lot of other things that we do together as a family and as mama and son every day.

Oh, about that giveaway!! So, I thought it would be fun to do a little giveaway to start off the summer. I had mentioned that one of my personal bucket list thing's to do was spend at least one day a week blogging and working on other projects. I have so many ideas and dreams to help grow my blog, but I never seem to have enough time. I am so glad that my hubby agreed to watch my little one all day, once a week, so that I can pursue those dreams. I got to thinking that maybe there are tons of others out there who have a dreams too. I created this 'Summer Dreams' Giveaway with that in mind. Stop over to my Instagram page (the.erin.elizabeth), for all of the details and rules on how to enter. I hope that you can find some time this summer to pursue your dreams.

Many Blessings,
