This week kicked off the official start of summer. The following are a few ideas for enjoying this season. Let me know if you have any ideas to add. 
1. Do a pedicure with a color you’d never dream of wearing on your hands.
2. Get up early enough to sit outside and watch the sun rise. Grab a cup of coffee and maybe a little bug spray (mosquitoes are often still buzzing around at that hour) and take in the magic of the world coming to life.
3. Run through a sprinkler on a scorching-hot day.
4. Occasionally trade in the shorts or capri pants for a feminine skirt.
5. Drink lemonade. Extra bonus if it’s home made with fresh lemons!
6. Go to a county fair for an evening. Play a few games, ride a couple of rides, maybe even have cotton candy. But most importantly, look at the neon lights on the rides, listen to the music, watch the people. It’s a sensory experience.
7. Get out in a boat. Whether it’s an exhilarating ride on a speed boat with the water flying up around you, or a leisurely trip on a pontoon boat, etc… it’s a way to feel connected with nature.
8. Grill vegetables. (Or have someone else grill them.) Veggies are just more fun to eat when they’re grilled.
9. Try wearing a decorative hair clip. Whether it’s a butterfly to hold back in-between-length bangs or a flower worn to the side of an up-do, it’s just pretty. Find all kinds designs on Etsy.
10. Plant something. Even if it’s just a single, potted plant.

♥ fashion butter – Isn’t it funny how grilling veggies makes them about 100 times better.

Great ideas! I’ve done #8 and my veggie of choice is grilled eggplant…deeeeeee-lish! But zucchini and squash also rock when grilled.
I think we should add a #11: Have a push-up. Remember those push-up sherbet popsicles? Love those. Refreshment while you reminisce about a how fun summer was when you were a kid.

♥ V – Eggplant does sound good. I think my favorite is grilled summer squash, although I love just about any grilled veggie. And you’re right, push-ups definitely need to be on this list. That may just be an excuse to do a second list.

Hi Piper! Great list! How about grab a blanket (and some bug spray!) and sit out under the stars? Or hit a drive in movie? I probably won’t do either of these things, but they’re nice to think about! So happy you stopped by Little Blue Deer so I could find you! XO!

Love this list! And I absolutely agree – grilled vegetables have so much flavor. Will have to try changing up the color of my pedicure this week. Wonderful suggestions, absolutely lovely. Thank you!
This weekend I took part in an annual breast cancer walk fundraiser with my mother (a breast cancer survivor) and how I oh so love celebrating her strength. I hope you’re enjoying your weekend as well. =)
