How did Bucket Lists get so popular? I see them everywhere and I kinda like the idea since I’m a list person myself. Just think–a giant list with all the super awesome stuff you’ve always wanted to do! What a fun one to check off!

Today I’ve got two bucket lists to share with you–one is actually a FREE Summer Fun ebook from Life Your Way! There are over 40 fun summer recipes, activities and crafts from some very talented bloggers (including little ole me!). Just click over to Life Your Way and download your free copy!

The second Bucket List is my new post at Family Your Way called, The {Relaxing} Summer Bucket List. My bucket list started the week before my daughter graduated from Kindergarten (*gulp*), I told my husband, “I am so excited about summer because I want Lydia to stop growing up!” I felt like every single day last year she grew up a little bit–with the new experience of school, reading and friends.

I was just holding out till summer so we could have a quiet little respite to stop doing and learning so much and just BE. Of course, I don’t want a stagnant, lazy, couch potato summer, I just so want my kids to stay little. I want to see them enjoy home, their siblings and their parents. I want them to be bored (yes, I do) and be creative in play and entertaining themselves.
