Beach {Bonfire}

A few weeks ago, I made a post about all of the things I hoped to do this summer, and having a beach bonfire was on this list. 

Well, we had a bonfire, and although there was only a few of us there, it was a lot of fun! We created the wonderfully delicious Reese's S'more above, and oh my gosh I will never go back to regular s'mores. The reese's s'more is just too good! 

Our bonfire was so big! It was really windy, so unfortunately it became extremely cold and we had to leave around nine. However, there will be more chances for bonfires this summer!

Have you ever had a beach bonfire?

What s'more creations have you made?

June is here!

Hello, everyone! 

June is here, and with it comes summer! For most places, that means warm, summer weather, but here it fluctuates between foggy and grey, and hot and sunny. I love that we get such variety all year long. 

I love the feeling in the beginning of summer: hope and joy and readiness for the feel of the sun on our backs.

It's like anything can happen during summer. 

This summer, I have so many plans and it is certain to fly by! I just hope that I can slow down and enjoy it for a moment or two. I'll post a summer bucket list (many of which will come from my 101 things in 1,001 days challenge) soon!

Enjoy your summer!
What are your plans for this season?

Summer Bucketlist 2013: End of Summer

I know, I know, the last day of Summer isn't technically until Saturday, so I'm a bit early to posting this. However, this weekend will involve figuring out where all of my classes are, buying last-minute school supplies, decorating for Autumn, and looking for part of my Halloween costume...  so it is unlikely that I will complete anything else on this list before the "technical" end of Summer. It has been a great season full of work, play, and walks on the beach!

So here it is, my bucket list with all that I've completed stricken out:
