    This list pretty much matches mine :) Except peaches…I prefer cherries :) And I agree about adults who just want to wear their suit all the time….I have a hard time getting into it ONCE haha! But I’ve never been to an outdoor movie before…I’m going to look up some in my area! Great ideas! Happy SUMMER! WEE!

    I love cherry popsicle lips so much that I try to get that look all year! I always know when I’ve found a winning lip gloss because it makes me look like I’ve been eating cherry popsicles.

    oh how this post makes me smile :) I too LOVE outdoor dinners (and lunches and breakfasts:) … and floppy hats … and popsicle lips …and lemonade stands. I just went to a lemonade/bake sale for a friend who was raising money with her two little girls for Operation Smile!…in my book it was the perfect way to kick off summer.

    Mmm peaches are my favourite too! We have a little peach tree in our back garden and they appear in August. They’re so delicious, I can’t wait! I just love being outdoors a lot in the summer x

    Aww this is a sweet list. Some of the stuff on your list are definitely on mine especially long days, daily walks, and color!

    I agree about all of that! I love to see the poppies in my neighborhood. They’re gaze-worthy.

    Hi “You are my fave”,
    My name is Yvonne, from Sweden. I would be very happy if you could tell what the “machine” is called which you used to write “Happy Summer” on the card here above. I remember we used to have those “tools” back in school to mark clothes and stuff, and would love to get hold of one again, but just can’t remember what they are called or where to find them!
    Kind regards
    Yvonne (ycarlsson@hotmail.com)
