Goodbye May, hello June!
I am so excited that summer is finally upon us. I can’t wait to head to the splash pad, have BBQs and just enjoy what summer brings.
Once again, I don’t think I really did too great on my goals, but I’m trying not to beat myself up over it. So, lets take a look at how I stacked up.
Blog
~Plan 3-4 posts a week
~Interact on twitter
~Grow my Instagram to 350 (228)
~Next photography post
~Host a Giveaway
~Create a button for my photography series
~Try to learn more about SEO or Google Analytics
Ok… so not my best month. I totally did plan 3-4 posts a week… but did I actually get around to blogging 3-4 times? Nope.
One of my posts for Detroit Moms Blog was published, so if you missed it, you can check it out here.
I was able to grow my Instagram to 305, just didn’t hit 350.
While I didn’t host a giveaway, I was involved in one.. so does that kind of count??
I made the hat.
Personal
~Try to eat more healthy snacks
~Pray more
~Get out and see people
~Plan a few play dates
~Continue working out
~Activities for Annabelle
~Activities for Autumn
I suppose I did a bit better in the personal one. Still struggled with activities for the girls. We did a few, but I never took any pictures… #bloggerfail
I also haven’t been spending a lot of time in prayer. I get so overwhelmed, and then that gets pushed back. In reality, I’d probably feel less overwhelmed if I put that first.
Etsy:
~Create an Instagram for my shop
~Create a Facebook page
~Add ready to ship sun hats
~Add ready to ship diaper clutches
~Add ready to ship burp cloths
I did create an Instagram and Facebook for my Etsy store. So be sure to check it out and follow me along!
I also added some more items to my store. I haven’t gotten around to the diaper clutches or burp cloths yet, since I was trying to get some Fourth of July stuff up.
The hats are ready to ship, so if you’re looking for a cute summer hat, check them out. 😉 I’m hoping to add some ready to ship dresses, so be on the look out!
So really, I think the main reason my blog took a back seat was because I was trying to get more Etsy stuff up.
Now, onto June Goals!

There you have it! Hopefully I will be able to get these accomplished.
I’m not going to lie, the date night may be hard. Autumn still cries so much at bed time, and it’s pretty stressful (especially since it’s been going on for months). She goes down so easily for naps, bed is just awful. I just hope one day that she will go down easily.
