After 3 months of doubt, summer finally arrived. There is a fabulous sense of contentment that fills me when I walk outside and I'm no longer slapped by cold weather. This morning I was up at 5:30am with sun shining in my windows and a breeze of 65 degrees flowing through. 65 degrees!!! AT 5:30am!!! it is a beautiful thing in Minnesota.

As the temperatures rise, my busy spring schedule sets. The weekly activities I committed to in February to prevent insanity in the still cold months are coming to an end, which means it is time to take full advantage of every summer moment and enjoy. We have a long list of activities we are looking forward to this summer, and since it's the 19th today, I will share 19 of them with you:

1) Grilling! (going to start off manly to make up for the next one...)
