summer get-to-do list

By Karen Brown

This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. - Psalm 118:24

Lazy summer days are finally here, and our family couldn’t be more excited! As much as I love not having the rigid schedule and routine of the school year, there are certainly days when I lack creativity in what to do with the kids and as a family.

One of the things we are going to try this year is the “Summer Get-to-Do List.” I love the idea of it being a “get to” list as opposed to a “have to” list. Our list might include: places we are blessed to live near and can visit, fun activities we can do as a family on a whim, things to make and create together, etc. I love including the kids in the planning of moments and memories we want to have this summer. Some things on our list have become tradition, and it would hardly feel like summer if we didn’t do them. Some are new things we hope to try, but might not if we don’t plan them out a bit. My hope is that, as a family, we can really seize and enjoy each summer day together.

Does your family make a summertime list? What are you most looking forward to?

Here are some lists to inspire yours:
