Summer is here! This week has been unbearably HOT, the weather is in the 90s but the humidity makes it feel like 100. Also the Knicks have been bringing the HEAT to the basketball finals so that’s another layer of HEAT in NY!!! (I had to do it, go New York, go New York, go). What an epic basketball season.
Also, school is coming to an end so the kids are home and I get a break from making lunch, homework and playing Uber for my girls and their activities. It’s my favorite time of year where I get a two-month break and as I love to tell my husband “Daddy daycare is in full effect.” He’s a teacher so he’s off.
So I put together a list of the things I’m most excited about this Summer to not only share but also to remind you to make your summer plans TODAY. Summer has a way of coming and going so fast. Make the best of it and enjoy every moment.
More ZZZ’s, Please
I’m looking forward to sleeping in an extra two hours in the morning. I don’t get enough sleep and this midlife body of mine needs rest.
Beach Walks I love walking. I just joined a walking club and we walk as a group twice a week. I especially love walking at the beach near me and ending my walk by the water. It’s literally the best way to start the day.
Random Weekends that Turn into Epic Summer Days
Summers in NY are simply the BEST. There’s always something happening no matter where you live. I love randomly stumbling upon an outdoor festival, a flea market or something happening at the park and it turns into an awesome day.
My Mom’s 80th
My mom is turning 80 this year and I’m just so grateful we get to celebrate her and that she’s here with us.
Martha’s Vineyard My Happy Place
My family and I have an annual trip to MV and it’s literally the highlight of my summer. I look forward to disconnecting, watching sunrises, chasing sunsets and relaxing with the most important people in my life.

Trying A New Skincare Product
Yes, that’s a very real highlight for me. I just ordered this Anua firming neck contraption and I am so excited to try it.

Get My Reading On
I have a few books on my Summer reading list that I’m hoping to finish. Kin by Tayari Jones is the first on my list. I started it a few months ago but haven’t finished it because life happened.
A Party of One – Solo Dates
I started a series A Party of One a few months ago where I was supposed to share my solo dating adventures. I’ve only been able to do one and plan to use the summer to take myself on a few more solo dates. You can checkout my first A Party of Onehere.
Hey, love. Would adore seeing you when you get here! Maybe a walk on the beach:)
Love this list!
