Summer bucket list game 2026

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m determined to have a great summer this year. I’m also determined to cross off as many summer bucket list items as possible. This year’s list is mix of different items including easy everyday things like shopping at some of my favorite places, doing art projects, and eating some of my favorite foods. There are some items on this list that may seem difficult to cross off but I already have them planned . This list is also full of classic summer adventures that can be challenging or easy . However ,it does include challenging items that I don’t have plans to do. I’m excited to see how many items that I can cross off . I hope I can do some of the more challenging ones. I do feel like I have a stronger drive to cross more items off this year than I have in past years. With all that being said let’s get to this year’s summer bucket list game.

Things I love August 2025

Hello, my bucket list friends ! I’m so excited to write this post because I only have one more post to write after this about summer 2025. The next post I write will be about last year’s summer bucket list. I’m already looking forward to this year’s summer bucket list which will begin soon. Anyways with all that being said let’s get to the things I loved in August 2025.

Trip to Oxnard – In early August, I went on a trip to Oxnard. Highlights from this trip include visiting a presidential library , going to the Dallas Cowboys training camp , and shopping at Hobby Lobby. ( You can read about it HERE )

Trip to Idaho – During this month I also went on a trip to Idaho. Some highlights of my trip there include going to Zoo Boise , going thrift shopping, and seeing family. ( You can read about it HERE )

Getting to see Amy – On the first day of the month I wasn’t feeling the best but I got to see my friend and that always makes me feel a little bit better. We went to some fun places including CVS . I love the stuff I got there on that day but more importantly Friendship is one of the most valuable things that you can have in life. I’m very thankful that I have some truly wonderful friendships in my life. This day was a good reminder about the positive impact of friendship. ( You can read more about it HERE )

My Birthday – I got to celebrate my 35th birthday this month. I did some of my favorite things on this day including painting ,shopping , and eating cake. ( You can read about it HERE )

summer picture – I have a tradition of drawing a special picture for summer. I love the picture I drew this year. ( You can read about it HERE )

Summer sticker art – during this month I made a fun sticker picture. ( You can read about it HERE )

Going to one of my favorite local stores – This month I went to a local party store that I have been going to since I was a kid. ( You can read about it HERE )

Thank you so much for reading about the things I loved in August 2025.

Love, Christina Epperly
