There are a lot of things I loved this month, so let’s get to it.

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m going to do one more post about July before I do a thing I love post on a month that was pretty great for me. I realized that there were a few more things that I wanted to say about the month before I wrapped it up. Without any more delay, let’s get to it.

July 13th – On this day, I went for a walk with my mom. I know it is a very basic activity, but it is one that is very good for stress relief. I enjoyed going on a quick walk on this day.

July 17th – On this day, I went to a playground at one of my favorite local parks. I love the pictures that I took there.

July 22nd – On this day, I had a big accomplishment in an online game. I got the crown of wonder in Webkinz. It was an exciting moment!

July 27th – Before going to work, I went out to lunch with my family, including my sister. It was great to get to have a family lunch!

July 30th -I went to a beautiful restaurant with a friend. The restaurant had a really cool place to take photos. I had a lot of fun doing a photoshoot here.

Thanks for reading about more of my July adventures!

Hello, my beautiful bucket list, friends! To help me get caught up with my posts, I decided to put a bunch of my July highlights into one big post, and this is that post! I hope you enjoy reading about some of my favorite summer fun moments. Let’s get to it!

A fun trip to Target on July 7th – I went on a shopping trip to one of my favorite stores, and of course, I got some fun items. Some of my favorite items I got were a Barbie notebook, Barbie coloring pages, a Barbie doll that was on sale, squishmallows ,stickers, and two summer themed activity kits I also got some really fun Barbie pens! It was a great trip to one of my favorite places to shop.

My bucket list bucket hat – I recently put this item on my bucket list, and I was happy to cross it off. It was a project that took a long time, but I was so happy with how it looked when it was done. This hat really looks like a work of art and just so happy that I was able to make something like this!

Going swimming -I got to go swimming on July 25th. I went swimming at a gym pool that I had been to before but it had been a long time since I had been there. I don’t get to go swimming as much as I like, so I was really happy to get a chance to do this classic summer activity.

friend hangout on July 22nd – I got to see my friend this month. It was a simple hangout where we went to Starbucks and the park, but it was a great hangout. Anytime you get to see one of your favorite people, relax, and have a good conversation, it is a good time.

frog art project -I bought this art kit from Five Below. It was a simple painting art kit. I love doing art kits like this. Kits like this are great for relaxation. I had a fun time doing this kit. I loved painting the frog, and I’m really happy that I got this kit.

shopping at Five Below on July 14th – I love going to this store, but I do not get to go often. I put going to Five Below on my summer bucket list because I wanted to motivate myself to go shopping here since it had been a long time. Well, I did get to go, but I did not have much energy because I had bronchitis. The pharmacy I went to was very close to the Five Below, so I went there after picking up my medication. I got some fun items, of course. I’ve been really into stickers lately, so I got some while I was shopping here. Other items I got were squishy toy craft kit, a very small Barbie doll, a Squishmallow water bottle, and a Barbie nail set. I did not spend a lot of time in this store because I was not feeling well and I had very low energy. However, I’m still happy that I got to go, and I’m happy with the items I did get.

Shopping at savers on July 24th – I went shopping at Savers! I bought some fun items, including a bunch of stickers that were in a bag of scrapbooking supplies, a sand art kit, a Barbie book, a My Scene doll, and a cassette player.

Shopping at work – ok, I did so much of this. I don’t even know where to start! I did get lots of stickers, so I guess I can start with that! Our Hallmark vendor put out lots of stickers, and I have had a great time buying them. Some other items that I got at work during July included a bucket of playdough that came with playdough cutters, a Hot Wheels car that look like a slice of cake, an LOL doll, a summer ChapStick set, a Hello Kitty Lip Smackers set, and a Hello Kitty coloring book.

I hope you enjoyed reading about some of my July adventures!

Thank you for reading!

Fun at the beach and exploring the Exploratorium

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! In this post, I’m going to talk about two fun things that I did in July. One of them was a bucket list item! I can’t wait to tell you more, so let’s get to it!

July 10th – On this day, I had a dentist appointment, but they could not verify my insurance, so I went to the beach instead. Before going to the beach, I went to T.J Maxx to get some sand toys so I could build a sand castle when we got to the beach. We went to a small but nice beach. I was not really dressed for the beach since I had not planned on going that day. However, I still had a great time, and I built a few different sand castles. I had a fun time at the beach it turned out to be a great day.

July 11th – On this day, I crossed off a bucket list item by visiting the Exploratorium. I have wanted to visit this interactive museum for a while now. To sum it up, the Exploratorium is full of things that you can touch and that is very different from most museums. You will see some of the exhibits in my photos below. It is hard to explain all the fun things that I saw here but some of my favorites include a cloud made of lightbulbs, an arrangement of blocks that made a picture with a shadow, lots of plants, a ring of ice, and a close up look at corn. I also got some fun souvenirs. I highly recommend visiting the Exploratorium if you ever get the chance too. I’m very glad that I crossed this item off of my bucket list.

Thank you for reading !

4th of July fun 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! As I continue on my journey to catch up with my blog posts, I’m excited to say that I’ve gotten through the long vacation posts and the other posts I have left to write should not take much time. However, I still have lots of fun summer adventures to share with you. With all that being said, let’s get to a fun post about the 4th of July!

July 4th – I love the fourth of July! It is such a fun holiday! It is all about celebrating the great country that I’m very blessed to have been born in. To celebrate the fourth of July, my parents and I went to an event  that included a concert and fireworks! The opening act at the concert was a very talented singer named Levi Hummon. I had so much fun dancing to his songs! I recommend checking him out! After he was done with his part of the concert. I got to meet him! He was such a nice guy, and I got a picture of us together! Later on in the night, there was an amazing fireworks show! I love the fireworks show that this venue puts on every year! It is always amazing, and I really enjoyed watching it this year. It was a wonderful summer night! I hope all my fellow Americans had a great time celebrating this holiday as well!

Thank you for reading!
