Summer Bucket List

Summer always to flies by and I am a total list maker so in attempts to make the most of my summer,  I decided to make a summer bucket list. I wanted my list to be one that I could realistically complete during this busy season. I included some fun things that I really want to make time for in the next couple of months.

I am definitely guilty of including something on my to do lists that I've already completed (so I feel accomplished from the get go!) and this list is no different. I went on a wine tour last weekend! I can check that off my list.

Have you made a summer bucket list? If you have, what's on it?


P.S.- I'm taking book and donut suggestions. I just found out I like donuts in the fall, I've only ever had a Dunkin' Donut and am dying to try a local spot.

Mindful Monday 6.17.13

Good morning! How was everyone's weekend? Mine started off perfectly with a walk by the river and a pit stop at one of out favorite coffee places with my mom. I wish all days could start like that! Saturday I went on a wine tour with some old friends, which was  too much fun. I spent most of the day Sunday relaxing, as expected the day after a wine tour. My dad stopped over for his favorite dinner and a movie which was a great end to the weekend. 

RP got put on night shift for work so I'll be spending a few evenings a week by myself. I thought I would already be going insane by this afternoon but really it's kind of relaxing. I'm so much more productive when I'm home alone. Here's to enjoying your own company. Have an amazing week!

Happy Hour: Citrus Martini

Happy Friday! I started today off the best way possible. My mom and I ran the river this morning and stopped for an iced coffee before running back. I was so happy to start my day in the sunshine that I started happy hour pretty early.

To make a citrus martini:

Combine 1 shot of grapefruit vodka, 1 shot of mango vodka, 1/2 shot of triple sec in a mixer with ice. Shake and pour into a martini glass. Top with blood orange soda.

Cheers!
