Summer Goals

Happy first day of summer! As I've mentioned before I am not a huge goal maker. I try sometimes and I find that it does help me get more accomplished but setting goals does not come naturally to me. I do however love goals that encourage me to have more fun/make me happy so I'm setting some summer goals!

1. Go camping.

2. Shoot at least one roll of film each month.

3. Spend at least a little time outside everyday.

4. Dust off my bike and find some places to ride.

5. Hike to a waterfall.

6. Take some anniversary photos with Ivan!

Not a super long list but all things that I want to do this summer. Is there anything that you are especially looking forward to this summer?

PS. I will be back this afternoon with a new giveaway and to announce the winner of the Holly Knitlightly giveaway!

  1. Ooh, i love that wedding photo, you both look adorable. I just posted an anniversary blog post, and it occurred to me that I should take a photo of us each year on our anniversary. I wish I'd had the idea years ago, but hey it's better to start late than never.

  2. Great summer goals. Camping sounds great! I have been wanting to go camping for sometime now and have yet to do so. The hubs and I need to get on that.
    Your wedding photo is beautiful! Love it!

    Happy summer, pretty!

  3. That photo of you and Ivan is super cute.

    My goal this summer is to work, maintain my blog, plan activities for the two student groups I run, and go to a lot of concerts (Summerfest is coming up, so that'll be easy).

  4. Those are some solid summer goals. I think you need to add something, though.
    7. Drink mojitos.
    That is a staple summer goal for me. And since today is the first day of summer, the mojitos I drank on Monday don't count, so I figure I have to start this goal ALL over again.

    Life is hard!

  6. I adore camping. I desperately want to do it more often, but over here in the UK the weather is often to dire to even attempt it! Last time I camped was out in a place called Rendlesham, which was seriously cool as it had a UFO trail. Added an extra spark of scary at night, let me tell you that for free!

  7. They all sound good to me! My summer goals are pretty similar -- I want to document everything with photos, go on lots of spontaneous adventures, spend lots of time outside, and learn to hoop dance :)

  8. Bike along the Bay.... it's so nice. Just bring lots of water because there is no place to stop! Also.... on the road to Ancaster, it's a short hike and the water fall is super pretty!

  9. I've been meaning to fix up my bike and go for a ride too! What a pleasant list :)

  10. GETTING MARRIED!! AH! It will free up so much free time. I just keep reminding myself, only 3 weeks left! It gets easier once it's done and over with, right? Lie to me if you have to. <3

    1. Oh yeah! I was so happy when we didn't have to plan the wedding anymore! We didn't even get that stressed leading up to it but it was just nice to not worry about it anymore.

  11. I love all these pics and your goals inspire me. I plan to shoot more film this summer, and my main goal is to get my blog/etsy shop running at least by the end of the year, eep!

  12. camping's my favorite. i've vowed to go 7 times during this "warm" season (i'll go in the fall, so long as it's not too cold). got one down the first weekend in this month, 6 to go! i also completely agree with the being outside for a little everyday (except maybe today, it's HOT in downstate ny), and dusting off my bike. my other goals include homemade ice cream & pulling my sewing machine out of the closet :)

  13. Bike, hike and take road trips. Just be outdoors more. I will be so sad when winter comes. :( Love your wedding picture by the way. Very cute.

  14. Sounds like a great list of goals! Love that photo of you two! (err, those photos! Ha.)

  15. Going camping will be on my to-do list next summer. I'm 26 and I've never been. Now that I live in the countryside, there really is no excuse not to try it.

  16. I love all of these and definitely have these on my list. I also have enjoying good books, devouring summer fruit and sipping lots of iced tea, and picking up new hobbies like surfing and rafting! I like the succinctness of your list!

  17. Oh man have I ever got some goals. Ditto on the bike thing, Niagara on the Lake is so gosh darn pretty, and if I set my mind to it I could bike all the way to the falls! But then I'd taxi back home because I probably couldn't be bothered to do that twice in one day :p.
    I also want to work on my frisbee skills, I used to play ultimate frisbee in high school but that's feeling like a long time ago now.
    Lastly, taking more photos. I love my iPhone and all, but I love the versatility of my DSLR. Now, of only they could make them more portable...
