With the unofficial start to summer at the end of the month, I wanted to share a few of the to do’s I have on my list! Last year we actually marked off everything off the list I created and did a lot of fun things around the city and around New England so I’m hoping for more of the same this year! I know it probably feels really early to be talking about Summer and plans, but when you think about how fast time goes by, I’m just trying to be prepared 😉
- Explore more of New England || I think this one is going to be on the list for the foreseeable future because there are so many great little towns to check out. After realizing how easy it was to get to the coastal towns like Newburyport, we plan on taking advantage of the commuter train for a few more trips. This weekend we are actually headed up to Portland, Maine for the day & have a few trips to Newport, RI planned as well!
- 4th of July Celebrations || Last year we headed to Maine for half of the holiday weekend & this year my cousin and his wife are going to be visiting so the pressure is on to create a memorable holiday for all of us! I think this is where the day trip to Newport is going to come in!
- Spring / Summer Clean Out || Since we moved into our condo last year, we’ve been pretty good about keeping it clutter free, but as with any home it’s hard to maintain that level of cleanliness and my closet seems to be bursting at the seems – not in a good way either with clothes that I’m dying to wear. More so, just not organized and very cluttered. I’m looking forward to a good old fashioned closet clean out!
- Summer wardrobe || After my recent trip to Florida I realized that my summer wardrobe is seriously lacking – probably because we only get like 2 months of true hot weather here! I already picked up two adorable pieces from Francesca’s including this one shoulder ruffle topthat I can’t wait to style, but I need a few more pairs of my favorite shorts from loft in the mix as well.
- Bespoke Focus || I’ve been pretty quiet on my wedding business recently, but it’s not because we aren’t busy – quite the opposite! We have three weddings coming up in May, June and September and already have one big one scheduled for next year. Our focus this Summer is going to be putting together another pop up eventsimilar to the one last year!
- Take a sushi making class || Gary & I have talked about taking a sushi making class for the longest time and I really want to make it happen in the next few months!!
- Summer Travel || My best friend just recently gave birth to two beautiful twin babies & I need to plan a trip to see them! I also have to plan a trip to see another good friend of mine in Philadelphia since they were living in Hawaii for 2 years and I haven’t met her two babies!!
I think I started this little to-do list with the hopes of making the spring and summer last as long as possible!! What do you have on your bucket list for the season?
This is such a great list! I have always wanted to take a sushi making class, and I am so jealous that you are able to hop on a train and visit little New England towns. That would be quite a drive for us! I can't wait to see all that you do.

3 weddings in MAY…wow…you gals are rocking it!!! A sushi making class s sounds so fun! Bring on the Summer!!
My summer wardrobe is a bit lacking too in some areas! Great reminder to refresh and see what I need to add. So happy to hear your business is going well!
I love this list!! I have a very rough list of things I want to do in Savannah this summer. But I LOVE the sushi making class, how fun!!
Your list sounds like it's full of fun to dos! I don't like sushi but the thought of a sushi making class always sounds fun to me for some reason ha.
summer fun is just around the corner!! yay! I did a sushi making class with a japanese friend once. It was FUN!
I need to purge my closet (and my kids!) so bad! How fun would a sushi making class be!?
Y'all have to stop by Eventide when you're in Portland! They have some great local brews and the best lobster rolls and oysters!
I'm dying to take a sushi making class!! We are huge sushi lovers too so I think it would be a perfect date night
Love your list! Fourth of July is always one of my favorites, and I am excited for summer dresses and rompers.

It sounds like you have a lot of fun plans coming up this Summer! I've been wanting to take some cooking classes and making sushi sounds like it would be so fun!

Your fabulous list is inspiring me to expedite making my list! I'm so excited to hear about your travels to Newport. I will be there July 8th-12th for my usual family vacation. I highly recommend grabbing a lobster roll at Flo's, dinner & drinks at the Red Parrot and a sailing cruise! haha sorry I just got so excited thinking about it 🙂

I love to visit small charming towns. I really need to visit more of New England myself! I am in upstate NY and there are so many places just in my area I have not experienced. Maybe some weekend trips are in order. Also my summer wardrobe is also severely lacking. I need to get on that soon!
It looks like you have some really fun plans lined up, girl! I'd love to take a sushi class too! I have to look into taking one with both Eddie and my mom, I know the two of them would love it, too. Plus, I need to catch up on all these months without eating sushi after having baby girl, lol. I've missed it so much, along with a bunch of other food. I want to have a feast in that delivery room, lol. Ah, Maine has got to be one of the best places to celebrate the 4th! My mom has some friends who live up there and I've never thought to tag along with her. My daughter's due date is on the 4th and we're hoping she arrives right on time b/c we'd love to do fire works for her birthday every year 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing your list with us, beautiful! Oh, and there's no doubt in my mind that you'll deliver for that 4th party. You are so good at planning weddings and are so extremely creative, your cousin and his wife WILL be impressed! Happy Wednesday, beauty!
XO,

I want to take a sushi making class too! I don't like sushi with fish but I love making my own with tempura chicken at home but it always looks like a hot mess. LOL! And have a blast in Portland! I have relatives that live up there so I used to visit fairly regularly. <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
So many great plans for the Summer! I definitely want to try a sushi making class 😉 I think the next time you come to FL you need to fly into Tampa…..just saying!
Love all the plans that you have! All the travel and exploring sounds perfect for summer – I bet all the little towns by you are just so fun and cute!
LOVE this list!! Doing some major cleaning out is on my list. That sushi class sounds really cool!!
so many fun things! i love this list. i def want to try a sushi making class too. and i need to do some cleaning out. spring cleaning in full force!

That sushi class sounds like so much fun!

You rocked your list last year, and have lots of fun on the agenda for this year too. Loving that one shoulder ruffle top, and how exciting about your wedding business. Can't wait to see all those events come to life in the coming months <3

Sounds like this summer is going to be quite busy and pretty awesome! You will love Portland. It's such a cute town. That is so wonderful that your wedding business is doing well! You go girl.
Oo! A sushi making class sounds like so much fun! And then, even better – you get to eat your creations at the end of it 😉
Great list! 🙂 I am jealous about your trips to Newport!! I hear you on the lack of clothes for summer too. Thank you for sharing and I hope that you have a great day!!
Oooh great to do list!!

I love having a fun list of things to do each season.
I am SOOOO ready for a spring clean out. Its just finding time to do it. I'm ready to haul in a dumpster kinda clean out!
I definitely need to finish my Spring cleaning, before I have my surgery preferably. I know I will have to do a major closet overhaul too.
I'm so happy to hear your wedding business is doing awesome!

Such a fun list! I just moved in to my house in October but need a clean out too. Way to go on the weddings! Rocking it!
Sounds like a good list. The sushi making class sounds especially interesting. I've actually never tried sushi of any kind, but recently made a list of top ten foods I want to try & sushi is on the list. Would be kind of cool to make my own sushi I try.

Such a fun list! After you get your house purged you need to do some kind of home tour! I would love to see!

I love the idea of creating a to do/ bucket list for the summer. I def need to do this! I am in the middle of a closet clean out and it is the best feeling clearing out space! Congrats on the wedding business – it sounds awesome!

I can't wait to hear all about your trip to Portland! Chris and I have been dying to make it up there because we've heard how beautiful it is, plus I think that Chris just wants to eat a ton of lobster. You're also totally right about it not being too early to plan out things to do this summer. It already feels like it in the South and it'll be officially summer before we know it!
Ah I've always thought taking a sushi-making class would be so fun!! I love this list. It's so good to be intentional w/ our summer plans that we want to make happen, or else the warm months will slip right by us!
Sushi making class sounds so fun!

I have wanted to take a sushi class forever. They have them here every now and then and we really need to find the time to book it! Congrats on all the weddings you have coming up! That is awesome!!! Love that off the shoulder top you shared, it is so pretty!
I love the idea of traveling locally (and summer vacations too!) and a sushi class sounds like so much fun!
This is such a great idea to put it all down! So much more likely to accomplish what you set out to do. Good luck!

So much fun things lined up after your sunny FL trip! If you buy a sushi rolling set you can literally make it from home with all the ingredients of your choice. I've done it before and it was pretty successful.
My summer wardrobe is seriously lacking too! I'm on the hunt for some cute pieces!
Sounds like you are going to have a fun spring and summer! Thats so exciting your cousin is coming up for the 4th! That will be a blast!

I like your goals! I'm all about traveling locally and adding to the wardrobe 😉
I love this- and how FUN would a sushi class be?! I need to look to see if there's anything like this in KC!

Sushi making classes are so much fun! I hope you guys get to do one!
I would love to do a sushi making class. That would be so much fun. And I desperately need to update my spring/summer wardrobe for work. I need shorter sleeve shirts badly.
so many great ideas!! your friends will love to have you visit and see their babies 🙂 ! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Sushi making sounds like so much fun! You will love Newport – it's so beautiful in the summertime. I need to start putting together my summer bucket list 🙂

I love that you made a Summer To-do list! I need to get started on my own so, the summer won't pass by without fun activities.
You are too right. It's going to be here before we know it. I need to figure out what fun stuff we are going to do because right now the work feels suffocating, lol!
So many fun things on this list– definitely inspiring me to take the time to put together a few things we want to do this summer, otherwise the time just gets away from you! I can't wait to hear about where else you guys explore in New England, you always have the best travel/recap posts.
