@Kari- totally love it! Though I like many times of the year 🙂

What a terrific reminder to go for a swim in Lake Michigan, and see the fireworks at Longwood Gardens. I think we may even go to Cape May so we can have lobster while eating outside. Don’t you LOVE summer?!

@Diana- definitely make a list! Putting stuff down on the list totally nudges me to check it off. And makes sure I have a fun summer. It’s easy to let summer weekends slip away without thinking through the plans.

There are things I try to do every summer but the act of writing them down (and being able to check off!) makes me much more likely! I added berry picking to ours, taking our son to a drive-in movie (my husband and I already went last weekend on our own!), and bike rides downtown, among other things. Thanks for the motivation to make a list!

@Traci Lee- it’s The Lobster House. The inside is nothing special, but there’s a take-away counter and a bar and outside tables – that’s where to go!

I thrive on lists like this. Would you share the name of the restaurant you recommend in Cape May? We’re going there for the first time in September. Thanks!

Tomorrow I think I will do just that! and again on Saturday with some cinnamon rolls (pillsbury) to accompany the coffee.

@Angela- thanks! And I agree that even just having a cup of coffee outside makes a morning feel special. Summery!

I am so excited to hear that you are speaking at a graduation- I have no doubt that you will inspire MANY young minds and hearts!
I love your book list idea too.

Funny that you mention a breakfast picnic- my children did that this morning- they were dying to get outside and I obliged, as long as they ate their breakfast while outside and came in to get ready for school when I asked them too. I was surprised how much I wanted to join them… maybe I can use that as motivation to get out of bed earlier!

@Marie- I like fall lists too! I think of doing a summer list, a few fall activities (e.g. apple picking, hiking/biking in the leaves, maybe a football game), and then I think of Christmas activities. I guess the rest of the year (January to May) doesn’t seem to lend itself as well to it. Or else I just need a break!
