I have been working on my Summer List, too. I like the way you have divided yours. I just have one long list. LOL

Bethany said...

My brain only works that way! :)

Love your list as always. I like how you divide your list too. I need to keep your rainy day ideas in mind…we get a lot of those days over the summer. Thank you for sharing your list!

Bethany said...

Sometimes we use the rainy day ones for the really, really hot days too. That way we have some options when it is just unbearable.
