Guest Post from Rouge and Whimsy

Hey guys! Have you all met Erika from Rouge and Whimsy yet? She's such a sweet girl and has a great shop! I was lucky enough to win this great tote from her in a recent giveaway, and I use it all the time!

Hi Snugly Duckling readers! I'm excited to be here today guest posting.

I'm here to talk about summer must-dos. I don't know if you noticed but it's already mid-July and winter months are slowly creeping toward us.

I don't know where about you guys, but I love summer. I live in Seattle, and summers in Seattle are perfect: mid-80s, blue skies... once it hits winter, it's dark, cold and damp.

This is why I'm panicking and decided that I need to get my act together to make the most of the last weeks of summer.

Here's my list of must-dos before summer is over:

>> camping. I'm actually going this weekend and I'm really excited to get away from the city and spend some time with friends outdoors!

>> reading. I love to read but spending a day in a hammock reading sounds pretty perfect.

via

>>boating. I've been once but I definitely need to go many more times before the summer is over.

via

>> canning, pickling and making jam. I grew up watching my mom make jam and I really want to do it myself this summer... not to mention make some pickles and can some other good things!

>>What's on your list for the end of summer?

Thanks for having me Kara!
