Actually we only have 75 days of Summer this year but according to Pinterest there is plenty of time to do 100 fun things with your family between May and September. But I am not the kind of crafty mom with high expectations of making homemade kites and rainbow-colored cakes. I also don't want a list of obligations that make me feel like I failed summer when I don't get them all crossed off.
No, our list is more of a round-up of all the potentially beautiful moments and activities that will be possible for us this summer. One thing I would love to do is photograph each of the items as we do them, share them on IG, and at the end of the summer create a photo book of the images using Printstagram. I think I'll need to create my own hashtag to keep the photos grouped together such as #mm100days. This is my level of doable. Maybe my list will inspire you to add some new ideas to your list. If you have one, please leave a link for me in the comments so I may read yours too!
