2015 summer manifesto

IMG_1995

Hooray! In my mind, June officially marks the start of summer which means last weekend we came up with our summer manifesto. It's a handful of easy, inexpensive activities that I would love to do one (or many) times these next few months. I love the idea of starting this tradition now and then eventually letting the kiddos(!) take over and come up with a list of things to make sure we do.

This will hang on our fridge until September. (Subtly reminding me to finally, finally hang those patio lights I bought last spring).

Happy June!

    Maybe you’re looking to make traditional Rice Krispies, but if not, I swear by these:

    I was just going to say the same thing about the smitten kitchen Rice Krispie treats! I bake a lot and these are by far the most popular item. Browned butter makes everything better 🙂

    So perfect! Love how you wrote it out & added color! We did a summer bucketlist last summer & it was so inspiring. You’re reminding me that we need to get on it & make another fun list.

    This is perfectly, and simply, inspirational. I’ve been a longtime reader, and I can’t believe this is my first question, but… what brand of highlighter do you use?

    I just wrote out my list last weekend but I never thought of hanging it up where i can actually see it. Duh that’s the point. I love the idea of eventually have the kiddos make up the list themselves! Totally stealing that for when my kiddo can…you know…comprehend 🙂
