After Big Sur but before Las Vegas

Hello, my bucket list, friends! As I write this, it is the middle of August, and summer is coming to a close. However, since I have a lot of blog posts to write about my summer adventures, I can step back into summer fun with every post I write. Writing posts about my summer adventures is a great way to distract myself from summer ending. In this post, I  will be writing about the time between two of my summer adventures. With all that being said, let’s get to it.

June 6th – On this day, I got to go to Batch 22 bakery. I had never been here before but I’m glad I went! Their cookies are huge, and they taste amazing. I also bought some colored pencils and a sketch book at work. in addition to that I got to go for a walk in the park it was a good day.

June 7th – Today I got coffee and I went on another walk in the the park.

June 8th – On this day, I got coffee, I also got some foam grow toys at the grocery store. In addition to that I went to the park and I went to the playground. I love walking on playgrounds, but since it can get busy, I don’t always get to, but today, I did. This was the day before my Las Vegas adventure began.

Summer 2025 check in !

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! I know I have not been blogging lately. The main reason is that I have been having a summer that is full of adventures, and it is keeping me busy. I’ve gone on some great vacations, including one to Las Vegas, where I finally got the starfish tattoo that I had been wanting for a very long time. I also went on a road trip that was full of adventure, including going to a zoo that I had never been to before. Other highlights include my summer mall weekend tradition , spending time with family and friends , going to my first Mets game, making art including chalk art , shopping at some of my favorite places including Target and Five Below, and going to a local zoo. I will be doing blog posts about all of these adventures. However, for now, I just wanted to write a quick blog post so I don’t go the entire month of July without writing a blog post. I plan to write more blog posts in August, but for now, I’m going to say I hope that all of you are having a wonderful summer and here a few pictures from some of my summer 2025 adventures!

Early summer fun including volunteering and a trip to the Dollar Tree

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I have been having so much fun this month that I have gotten very far behind on my blog posts. I’m going to try to get caught up, but it may take a while ! Anyway, let’s get to it

June 1st – This was the day that my summer bucket list game began. I had the day off, and I was excited because today was the Firemen’s BBQ fundraiser, and I got to volunteer. There was another American girl doll in the raffle this year, and of course, I tried to win her, but I didn’t this year. However, I did get to pet a very cute dog. It was a good way to spend the first day of June.

June 2nd – On this day, I went to the Dollar Tree. I went to a location that I don’t normally go to. I got some fun items during my little Dollar Tree tip. some of the items I got were a Barbie sticker book, two hair bows, a Barbie cup, and a bottle of body wash. It was nice to get to go to the Dollar Tree.

June 3rd – On this day, I had work. I bought some things at work. I bought two bottles of scented sunscreen and I bought some Claire’s items that were on sale. It was a good day to go shopping at work.

I hope you are having a great summer!
