My summer bucket list

Not sure where my motivation has been lately, but I have just not been feelin’ it. However, the prospect of summer and all it brings - hello wine tours in Hunter Valley, beach excursions, longer days and BBQs - has me excited! Here is my bucket list.

1. Make our backyard situation cute – I need to get on top of my garden situation (aka make sure it is thriving in the AU heat) and maybe invest in some outdoor chairs and solar fairy lights so we can enjoy our backyard. Maybe a mini fire pit/grill... Bunning's trip soon, J?
2. Try kickboxing and pilates – so many of my friends have started getting into kickboxing and pilates and I have yet to try it out for myself! I have a feeling I’ll be sore for like a week though once I do... kind of looking forward to that.
3. Purge my closet, again – why does this task always feel like it’s looming over my head? Oh wait, because it is! I'm trying to be more intentional with my wardrobe and some stuff just needs to go (goodbye yellowed white shirts).
4. Go berry picking- not even sure if this is a thing in Australia but I want to figure it out asap and get in on the action if so. My SO has never been, and it is a fave family memory of mine so I want to start that tradition up with him!
5. Find a concert I want to see and go – pretty self explanatory. 

1. Visit the farmers market – I want to buy more local produce and support our local farmers and community. I loved going to the few we did last year and am excited to check more out.
2. Go on a roadtrip – somewhere not too far... we've decided Hunter Valley, just need to find out when since we both have a pretty full-on schedule now.
3. Paddleboard – need to find a place to learn, but I am SO determined to do it this summer!
4. Fall asleep in the sun after a picnic  – one of my fave things to do! I love falling asleep in the sun... with sunscreen on, of course.
5. Eat lots of watermelon – I want to find a good watermelon salad recipe. I love it with feta and cucumber

1. Try a new Summer drink – very easy to cross off ASAP; will also like to taste a new type of wine!
2.  Go to a museum – taking suggestions actually. If you've been to Sydney before, which is your fave?
3. Tip 50% to make someone’s day – pass around some kindness.
4. Make a summer playlist – which are your favorite jams?
5. Read a NYT best seller – any suggestions?

I’m still working on a few more to add to this list, but I love reading about what y’all hope to do this summer!

Do any of these jump out at you as something you want to do as well?
