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:

Last Day of School Basket

  • Beach Towels
  • Maxi style patriotic dresses
  • Beach cover up
  • Water balloons
  • T-shirt for the middle school my oldest will be entering this fall

I love to gift it up in a basket look to make it more “present” like to open after school!

The inspiration for so many of my printables, digi The inspiration for so many of my printables, digital files, crafts and gifts, is being a mom to these two! I got to watch one enjoy her middle school dance on Friday, watch the other win the Mother's day tournament with her softball besties Saturday and today we'll garden and hang in the yard with my mom on the perfect spring day. So lucky to be their mom. 🥰
