2023 Summer Bucket List

in Celebrations, Patriotic / Summer

Finishing school is a big milestone and one to be celebrated! Every summer I gift my kids a last day of school gift basket and often draft up a bucket list of activities for us to complete in the months ahead. Check out the 2023 Summer Bucket List and what I included in their basket.

The last day of school is almost here and we love to celebrate it with some goodies to be used in the summer months! Here’s what I gift them in last year’s “basket” that was gifted inside a sand bucket:
