I’m a goals kind of girl. It’s truer than true. I also go through phases were my goals change regularly. But something I’ve never had was a bucket list. Thinking of my time off over Christmas/New Year and what I wanted to do I figured now was as good as time as any to start one.
A summer bucket list.
I’d need more time to come up with a lifetime spanning one. Indecision and overthinking would see to that. Though, to be fair, anything can go on a bucket list. Hmmmm. Worth considering, for sure. Do you have a bucket list? My sister does. She’s even assigned people to complete items if they are incomplete when she dies.
It’s a thing. Trust me.
But, back to the point. Back to my plans for summer and what I want to do, see, eat, and have come the end of Summer which I’m calling my birthday on the 24th March. Ready, here we go!
BBQ more often
Learn to make a killer marinade
Eat more greens
Drink more water
Vlog once a week
Eat outside once a week
Go Camping
Buy Kel a kayak {and maybe use it}
Swim more
Read 5 books for no reason
Have a sleepover party
I’m going back to full-frame with
the Nikon D750 and some type of prime lens {35-50mm}.
Drink more water Spend more time with Liv 😉
Spring clean my office
Learn to make macrons or bake something
Let my sister plan an adventure
Write something every day
There we go! That’s my summer list. It’s random and I feel like as I go I might add some more things to it. I want to have one of those summer’s that are easy and you feel good when you wake up in the morning. It might sound like a lot of pressure to put on a summer, but I believe in the magic of summer.
Plus, I’ve got some time off, anything is possible.
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
This is great. I just turned 50 and it crept up on me. I was very down about not being where I wanted to be and celebrating how I wanted to celebrate. But it turned out to be wonderful anyway (with a little help from family and friends), and I’ve found that setting small goals for myself have really helped. This week it is a night out with the girls on Friday. Nothing extravagant as we are all pretty strapped budget wise, but it doesn’t mean we can’t go out and have fun together. Just what the doctor ordered! And next week, although we have some medical tests in the city, we’re going to finish up the week by spending time with some lovely family. Living life and making the most of our blessings. Although I’ve done it before, the kids will get to take our beloved dog on a visit to an off-leash beach for the first time and see a few parts of Australia they haven’t seen before!
It sounds like your 50th worked out beautifully in the end. I love when that happens. And as for your time in the city, I hope you all have THE BEST time (and the tests go well)!
Oh this is good I’ve been feeling very meh about the upcoming silly season & the expectations of fam & friends A list is just what the head dr ordered – what do I want do more of, what makes me smile
I can get that. Sometimes the juggling all those expectations is the worst. You can do it! But first, do something like this for yourself. xo
I love your bucket list! The sleepover party will have to include a midnight feast of course! Gorgeous photos with this post. I’m curious as to what camera you use? I started a bucket list and blogged about it – think I have 30 items on it at this point! It has been very much neglected though. Thanks for reminding me that I must start to actually action it and do some of the things on it! #TeamLovinLife
Thank you! And yeeessss, absolutely. Or way too many movie treats and call that dinner. Haha. I’m glad this served as a reminder for your bucket list. Time to start ticking those items off.
Oh, and sorry. These photos are via Unsplash. But I use a Fujifilm X-Series camera and usually the 35mm 2.4 lens. 🙂
Sounds like a great list, very achievable! I think I need to go do the same, a summer bucket list might be just what I need to give me some direction!

Thanks, Kez. I think so. You don’t need pressure and stress over summer. It’s should be laid waaaaay back. Haha. Make sure you drop me a link if you do one so I can check it out. x
Brilliant list!! I totally need to make myself a list. We BBQ nearly every day since we bought a Webber. Love the idea of letting someone plan an adventure for me 🙂
Thanks, Nicole! It was fun to think about and plan for a great summer. You’ll love it, do it for sure.
That plan an adventure thing, that’s the best right? My sister is SUPER into adventures, she’ll love this. I wrote have an adventure, then changed it to this to make sure it’s shared with her!
Drink more water. Yes. Should be easier than it is. I love you said Eat outside once a week. I might steal that….
Go for it. It’s a good one, right? And it felt really summery.
What a great list – you’ve inspired me! I might have to pass on the camping though… Unless it’s in a hotel!
Thank you! I’m excited by the prospect of it. And yeah, I only camp at the beach. Haha. Though, a hotel sounds nice. 😉
What a great list. Invite me to the sleepover!!!! xx
Haha. Done deal! You’re on bringing peanut M&Ms.
Drink more water is on there twice, but lord knows that’s never a bad thing so I’m hoping it was intentional. Can we please add ‘spend more time with Liv’ on there xxx
Haha. Clearly I need WAY more water. I’ll be sure to swap one out for ‘spend more time with Liv’. 😉
Hahaha I love it, now it’s the perfect list! Can’t wait to help you tick some of these bad boys off. Love you x
😂😂😂 I’ll appreciate the help!
That’s a nice bucket list. I’m inspired to create my winter bucket list. 🙂

Thank you! I’m excited to see what you come up with. Does it snow where you are? I’d have a list a mile long if we had that kind of winter here. 😉
Nopes doesn’t snow here in this part of my country.
Here’s what I wrote:

Awesome, I’ll check it out!
Yeah. . .plan an adventure and swim more. Your seasons are so different than mine yet I enjoy some of the activities you do. I always seem to read more in warmer weather. I live in SFla so warm weather is around much longer, now it’s 83 degrees in the daytime and I am enjoying it. Do it all & Have Fun!!

Thanks, Neti! I think it’s going to be a great summer. I can’t wait to tick some things off the list.
We get plenty of warm weather here too, only really ‘wintery’ during July and August. I’ll have to do a winter list too. Which will be much shorter. Haha.
