Nanny to Mommy

This summer started out super busy. My husband officiated a wedding, we had end of baseball season games, and my daughter participated in her first softball tournament! With all that going on, I don't know how we managed to squeeze in a quick trip to Hilton Head to celebrate my brother's birthday, but we somehow managed to.

My brother has been seriously asking me for a few years to go. My sister-in-law's family has a condo so the stay would be free. My mom went last year and I always made excuses in the past. Usually if my husband can't go, then I say I can't. But the reality is I could squeeze in at least two beach days if we left right after my daughter's softball practice that ended at almost 9 pm to make the four hour drive.

What an appropriate shirt for my daughter to wear while sharing that Captain Marvel is on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K TODAY! We loved this movie. My family loved the never give up theme and we surely fell in love with Goose too.

Set in the 1990s, “Captain Marvel” is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that introduces the MCU’s first stand-alone, female-franchise title character—Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel. When we first meet Danvers, she already possesses her superhero powers, having left her earthly life behind and become a member of an intergalactic elite Kree military team called Starforce, led by their enigmatic commander, Yon-Rogg. But after Danvers has trained and worked with the Starforce team, and become a valued member­, she finds herself back on Earth with new questions about her past. While on Earth she quickly lands on the radar of Nick Fury, and they must work together against a formidable enemy in the form of the Skrulls—the notorious Marvel bad guys made even more dangerous by their shape-shifting abilities—and their leader, Talos, who is spearheading a Skrull invasion of Earth.

I have been swimming as long as I can remember. It is such a fun summer activity and is basically how we stay cool in the south during the heat of the day. Whether my family is at the pool, lake, or beach, we are around water all summer long. Safety is my number one concern for my children.

Because safety is my top priority and we being that we are veteran pool goers, I am sharing my pool essentials for early swimmers with this it is my mission to raise awareness about the fact that drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages one to 14 according to the CDC and my hope that we can prevent children in becoming a statistic by preparing parents.

What are your plans this summer? With the kids out of school, I am always trying to think of ideas to keep us all having fun! This year, I decided to create a Summer Bucket List so we have goals to complete in a very fun way.

I like creating these lists seasonally, I had so much fun creating and completing our Ultimate Christmas Bucket List. And since I enjoyed it so much, I thought I would share a new one for summer with all of you! Here are some ideas to add to your Summer Bucket List plus either grab the pre-made bucket list or the blank free printable version to add your own ideas! This list also includes helpful links to find recipes and more for easy reference. You can also create your own calendar or planner with a calendar making software. So, you don't forget about scheduled activities from your bucket list.
