With summer flying by, I’m taking a moment to pause and reflect on what I want to accomplish before the season slips away. I hope this inspires you to think about your own summer goals — big or small! Here’s my summer bucket list, and I’d love to hear yours, too.
📚 Summer Reading List
These are the books I’ve set aside for lazy beach days, quiet mornings, and those cozy nights at home:
1️⃣ Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come by Jessica Pan
✔️ Read it. Loved it. This book made me want to step outside my comfort zone, try new things, and connect with people — even if it feels scary.
2️⃣ Style Therapy: 30 Days to Your Signature Style by Lauren Messiah
Currently working through this one. Excited to see how my personal style evolves, piece by piece.
3️⃣ The Haunting of Blackwood House by Darcy Coates
Because what’s summer without a little spooky escape?
4️⃣ You’ve Got to Read This Book by Jack Canfield & Gay Hendricks
Looking forward to the inspiration packed in these pages.
5️⃣ Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo
I’m ready for that motivational boost to tackle my goals with confidence.
🌊 Summer Goals + Fun Plans
✅ Attend Stacey Willingham’s Book Release (August)
I’m counting down the days until her latest novel drops — can’t wait to be part of the excitement and get my hands on that book!
✅ Go to the beach as often as possible
The sand, the waves, the sunshine — it’s all so healing. I’m beyond grateful to live near the ocean and soak in the beauty of God’s creation.
✅ Stick to my budget + reduce debt
I’m focused on cutting back where I can, saving more, and keeping those financial goals front and center.
✅ Declutter and organize my home
I want a tidy, peaceful space — but I get overwhelmed by where to start. This summer, I’m channeling my inner Nike: Just do it.
✅ Master meal planning
I truly believe meal planning can help with budgeting, reduce stress about dinner, and encourage us to try new dishes at home. If you’ve got tips, I’m all ears!
