Happy First Day of Summer

Today is the first day of summer although living in Miami it feels like it's summer all the time and everyone here practically wears flipflops all year long, the kids definately look forward to their time off from school to go out and play in the sun.

As I sat with my nieces over the past few weeks, and sorta interviewed them for this post. I asked them what were a few things they would like to do over the summer. Realistic and Affordable of course, I was afraid that one would ask me to take them to the moon.  So here's what they've requested.


☀ Pool party

☀ Go to Disney World

☀ Go to the beach
   

☀ Go to the park

☀ Visit Samantha and Sabrina (my other 2 nieces)

☀ Bake cupcakes and cookies

☀ Go to the SpongeBob Hotel... (Nickelodeon Hotel)

☀ Get a facial, mani, pedi☀ Go to the Zoo

☀ Go to the Water Park

☀ Fly Kites

☀ Go to the Icecream store (Menchies)

☀ Have a sleepover


☀ Go to the movies
☀ Go to Jump A Roos

After their requests, I began doing some homework on some outdoor activities and putting together a spectacular pool party. Every year I have a Summer Bash for the girls, last year I took a break from it all, but this year's Bash is going out with a BAM. 

Check back at the end of the summer to see what we've accomplished!

Last year I attempted to complete a list of 32 things by my 32nd birthday and I totally failed! Perhaps it was because I started working on my list a little too late, or it could've been just pure laziness.
