Since summer’s now here (well, kind of. Yes my kids are out of school but I am still in NYC…), I put together my personal to-do list for the season, filled with things I’d love to accomplish before Labor Day. Lots to do in just a small amount of time.
1. Drink rose and gobble up oysters at Grand Banks on Pier 25 in NYC. Doesn’t it look ridiculous? Unreal, oh-my-god-I-want-to-go-now.
2. Indulge in a good facial and stock up on good skin care.

3. Buy a tent and go camping in the backyard. YUP, glamping in the backyard here we come.
4. Visit the one and only Crater Lake….problem is, I will have two toddlers in tow. Maybe. Hopefully. Someday.

5. Become a master at making various popsicles. I am determined to make a green popsicle that tastes like heaven.
6. Embrace meditation. UH-HUH, saying that for years. But this time, FOR REALZ.
7. Do running speed workouts with the Eugene Running Club and make my marathon time faster.
![OMG, biggest geek alert EVER. Thumbs up! (Who does that?) But it is me, accomplishing a goal....](https://josiegirlblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Screen-Shot-2015-06-06-at-9.05.50-PM.png)
OMG, biggest geek alert EVER. Thumbs up! (Who does that?) But it is me, accomplishing a goal….so why not make a new goal!
8. Create a master spreadsheet of all the addresses for holiday cards (yes, sounds so ridiculous, but my current system is SO not working for me)
9. Find the perfect one-piece bathing suit for my body (good luck with that!)
10. Read as many books as possible.

My list could go on and on and on (mundane to-do things like organize my bathroom and more extreme things like become a US Open Ball Girl)….so do tell me, what is on your summer to-do-list? Hope you are having a great start to the week. And Happy Summer!
I am obsessed with this list! I need to implement the same for myself…
PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE (literally begging you) to find a delicious green Popsicle recipe i can trick my kids into eating.
Grand Banks looks amazing. Adding that to my own list!
Great ideas & adorable photos of the kids!
I love your list and Labor Day is my due date. I have a lot to get done before then too :). xoxo!!
