Hello sunshines! Are you ready for summer?! I totally am! Being a teacher and having the summer off, I try to plan lots of fun things to do! And well not only am I excited about summer, but I'm excited that the very sweet Jillian at Cornflake Dreams created a "Summer Bucket List" blogger link-up that will help me to plan and organize all of things I have in mind! Now, y'all know I love bucket lists! I have two already: a lifetime list and a 2011 list. [You can check them out here.]

Ohhhh I love this!!! I think I should make a Norway bucket list once I move!!! :-)
I also think you need to add "Meet Megan" to your bucket list!!! HAHA! :-) I am gonna try to make it up your way sooner...we will see! :-)
And if you need Chicago tips...hit me up! I used to head that way every month :-)
The Bongo Room is awesome!!! I live in the same neighborhood and there is always a line on the weekend...so allow a little bit of extra time. :)
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
I see you got lots of good ideas for Chicago already! You will have a blast!!
What an awesome list! I can't wait to see your updates.
fantastic list, thanks for linking up! SO excited for you to visit chicago-- you have a great list of to-do's while you're in the city! also loving your recipes to try list... i need to add a few of those suckers to my foodie pinterest board! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
Sounds like a really awesome bucket list!! While you're in Chicago, you should eat at Portillo's...amazing Italian beef!!! And if you want to stay inside for a day, visit the Museum of Science and Industry...seriously one of the coolest museums I've ever been to!
Sounds like a lot of fun! I've never thought of a summer bucket list - it's a great idea! Especially since summer always seems to go by way too fast :)

your bucket list ROCKS (oh my gosh i already said this) but i really think the thing that is the BEST is the last one ;-) this little meeting will change your life forever (haha just kidddingggg)! CAN'T WAIT!
I love your list! One of my favorite books, if not my favorite, is the Ryan White story. It's an older book, but I love it. I don't know how much you know abour Ryan, but he was one of the first teens to be diagnosed with the AIDS virus & his story is such a great one, so yeah, I definitely recommend it (:
The 100 workout sounds brutal in the heat we've been having! Maybe, just MAYBE I'll give it a try. :) And then I will make a big batch of avocado fries afterwards to negate the caloric burn. HA! They look amazing -- bookmarked the recipe. Found your blog because of the link-up, so glad to meet you!
What a great list!! I am going to steal some ideas.
Definitely read The Help if you haven't already.
PS - Got the new Jason Aldean CD finally... obsessed. :)
Fantastic List you have created -- I'm a new(er) folloer, loving your blog!
WOW!! That is one great list!!
I heard all the raves about reading Bossypants and then someone else recommended Gift from the Sea!
And I'm all about getting in shape and trying to lose 10-15 lbs by the end of the summer!
Hahahah - glad I can help you out with the three new cocktails! Love your list!

I love your list, especially all those recipes! I will be pinning some of those myself a little later :)
Michelle your bucket list makes me want to also do all of this lol
Can i just say I was immediately drawn to PIZZA MUFFINS!?! going to check those out as soon as I finish this comment
A drink you should try. It's called the Pink Panty Dropper (the name should make you want to try it even more lol)
*2 containers of frozen pink lemondade
*1 bottle of clear champagne
*small bottle of vodka
SO DELISH...perfect for summer
xoxoxo
love your list! try 3 new cocktails might be my favorite and i'm lovin those recipes! and super jealous you and megan get to meet each other in person!
I'm actually very jealous of your list. hahaha it is amazing! I want to do all of it too. I love the idea of trying 3 non chain restaurants!
How fun! I have a life bucket list but never thought of doing one for just summer, GREAT idea!
Love your bucket list, I totally need to make one. I'm just too lazy and afraid i will never complete anything then feel like a failure.
SO jealous you are going to Chicago. I went once for a work conference and loved it but didn't get to see NEARLY ANYTHING I wanted to. See all you can and SHOP! I went to the Navy Pier and that was about it. BOOO!
oh and hosting a BBQ sounds so fun. I wish I had a backyard to host something like that.
whoa, that workout is impressive! and love the maps project- I've been wanting to do more DIY projects, too. great list! xo
LOVE that heart map DIY. Please do share once you finish it. Good luck on finishing your FAB bucket list!
