summer bucket list 2022
’Tis the season of popsicles and pool days! Our kids are out of school and are enjoying their time with their nanny (and me on Wednesdays). The next four months are my absolute favorite. I am so excited for consistently warmer weather here in Iowa. Each summer with the kids has gotten more and more fun. This year they are 10 & 7, which means we only have nine summers left with Rooney at home. I want to make the most of them!
