Now that the 4th of July is behind us I always feel pressure to fill up the rest of our summer calendar. It sadly feels like summer days are slipping between our fingers and there are so many things we have yet to do! I thought I would write down 10 summer activities on our list of things to do before fall rolls around (it will be here before we know it!).

10 Summer Activities to Do Before Fall

Go to a summer concert with friends *we actually just got tickets for Zac Brown Band!

Host a bbq in our backyard

Take Charlie for a night swim followed by dinner outside

Go to a Cubs game

Spend a night in the city with Dave, no kiddos invited

Rent a boat for the day and take Charlie on the water!

Make homemade jam with wild raspberries from our lake house

Have a lemonade stand with Charlie

Sign up for a summer run/race (this may have to be a fall activity as I’m a little late to the game)

Bake a homemade pie (for our bbq!)

Do you have anything that you’re adamant about doing before summer ends? I always feel like I have to take advantage of every moment of daylight during the summer months. Writing a list down makes my mental to-do list feel not so long!

Let’s talk about this dress for a second – it is so cute! It is one of those dresses that you put on and immediately feel confident. The perfect summer dress. Reformation has the prettiest silhouettes that are feminine and classic. I wore this midi dress (in red) on the 4th of July with these cute bow sandals and I am also eyeing this pretty floral wrap style. So many favorites! I noticed it says runs “true to size” but I personally find their pieces to run small. This dress is linen which means very little stretch and I sized all the way up to an 8 (I’m usually a 4). I’m 5’4″ and weigh 135 – I carry my weight in my hips, thighs and booty so mama needed some extra room.
