summer to-do list

I'm a self-confessed control freak. So the idea of a to-do this is positively thrilling. The magic of ticking things off that list really gets me excited (and now I sound like a nerdy weirdo). But seriously how great a sense of accomplishment do you get after vacuuming? Washing the car? or hitting the gym?

This summer I was fortunate enough to have six weeks off work- the perks of being a teacher. And before you launch into a tirade of "Teachers get so many weeks off what are they complaining about?" remember that I have to deal with hormonal, needy and frustrated teenagers on a daily basis. I wanted to make the most of the holidays by creating a to-do list of fun experiences. See my 2017 Summer to-do list below:

1. Hyams beach day.

2. Hawaii

3. Solo movies trip.

4. Weekly gym schedule.

5. Read "Ismael's Oud" by Mark Rafidi

6. Shopping trip-school supplies.

7. Day in at school.

8. Read "Away" by Michael Gow and make notes.

10. Milk Haus for breakfast.

11. Cuppits Winery.
