Hello! I just finished finals week, and whew, am I glad they’re over! It’s finally summer break, and I am so excited. Have you ever felt that at the end of summer, you’ve done absolutely nothing memorable, or for that matter, fun?! I definitely have. In today’s post, I’m going to give you some tips on how to make summer 2018 the best yet. 🌴
Here are 20 things you can do to make this summer memorable. They’re not complicated, but they’ll definitely be memorable. Make sure to take photos, write down moments, and store these memories in your head. During the long winter months you can look back on the photos and things and remember the fun times you had! 😎
Throw a party // invite some friends over for a BBQ
Books // visit your local library and find some new books to read
Learn // teach yourself a new skill
Water fight // gather your family and friends for a water fight
Volunteer // volunteer your time at a camp or a community center
Window shop // walk along the street and look in the windows of lovely stores
Dance in the rain // grab a friend and dance in the rain
Photo shoot // dress up and take photos
Farmers Market // go check out your local market
Star watch // spend the night sleeping under the stars
Garden // plant and grow a garden
Gift // go shopping for a gift and give it to someone
Bonfire // roast marshmallows over a fire pit
Sport // join a sports team or make your own
Food // buy ice-cream at a local shop
Friends // spend time with people you love
DIY // try a new DIY project
Decorate // de-clutter and re-decorate your room
Flowers // pick flowers (and use them for photo props!)
Sit outside // pull out a lawn chair and soak up the sun
exciting news!

Hey Becca, I’m trying to make my own little farewell phrase at the bottom of each blog post, like how you do “Smile on, Rebecca.” How’d you make yours?

We don’t have summer here but the school hols are next month! Unfortunately, I am a homeschooler so I don’t take holidays (except weird ones during none school holidays- that’s just how homeschoolers work XD) Yay I can’t wait for your one year blogiversary!! Mine is about one month after yours and I have awesome things planned too 🙂 I’m so sorry that I probably won’t be on WP on your real date because it’s a Fridays and I have some activities to commit to but I’ll make sure to ask some questions and check out your celebration posts later! 😀
