What can I say, I'm a sucker for a good to do list. While these lists often cover the mundane - from groceries to every detail of my Saturday - I always try and make things fun with a seasonal to do list as a reminder to relax and live a little. A to do list was definitely in order to celebrate my first summer in Chicago, so here are some of the things I'm hoping to accomplish over the next few months while soaking up some sunshine:
Take Callie to the dog beach
Host a cocktail party on my roof deck (bonus points if it's fireworks night)
Join a book club
Make fancy fruit popsicles
Go out on Lake Michigan on a boat
Have a picnic
Find a running group for marathon training
I love how different summer is for everyone - from traveling to relaxing - everyone seems to have their own agenda and recipe for the perfect summer. Do you have any fun plans for this summer or a summer to do list of your own? Have any other suggestions for me to add to my list?
Great tip! The one I first found runs at 6:30 AM on Saturdays, which I don't think I can commit to, so the search continues.
ReplyDeleteThey're on Saturdays at 8 AM! Super beginner friendly - we went last week and it was very low pressure (I'm awful at yoga)
ReplyDeleteFriends with boats are ALWAYS good to have. I'm trying to do the same!!
ReplyDeletelove this to do list! My goal is just to make a friend with a boat and be outside as much as possible! Love summer time! Good to meet you today!

If you find a weekend yoga class in Grant Park (especially something beginner friendly) I'd love to join you!
ReplyDeleteYes! Let's find one - I want a book club that reads real books (i.e. no "Fifty Shades of Gray" or "Hunger Games").
ReplyDeleteI can't wait, just need to get Callie all the proper registration tags. She LOVES swimming so it should be a great time for her.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great list! I'm totally up for joining a book club if you find a good one. Can I tag along?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. Fancy fruit popsicles sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou will LOVE the dog beach! It had been on my summer bucket list since last year and I finally went a few months ago and have been going back every weekend since!! There are dogs of every breed, and they have so much fun! Hilarious
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Look for a local running store, lululemon, altheta, or lucy activewear store for a running group! :)
