I hope that everyone had a fabulous Halloween! We had a great time trick-or-treating with neighborhood friends. It was so much fun to see how excited all the kids were! We went out for about 45 minutes before calling it a night and heading home. It has been unseasonably warm here the past two days, so we’ve been outside playing while we can. Today, it cloudy and rainy so it looks as if the warm weather is on it’s way out.
Blog
-Post 3-4 times a week: I totally did three times a week! Go me!!
-Utilize Pinterest better: Nope. I need to read up again on how best use Pinterst to help with blog growth.
-Post Autumn’s birthday: I got this done too! If you haven’t read it, check out the recap.
-Grow Instagram to 1k: So close! I’m at like 920. I’m now playing the follow/unfollow game. For those of you unfamilar, it’s when someone follows you, so you follow them back, then a few days later they unfollow you. It’s quite annoying.
-Get a new planner and find printables: I haven’t don this, because I figured it would be a good Christmas gift. Still have no idea if I’ll stick with an ARC planner from Staples, or go with something else. What do you use that you love??
Etsy
-Make a Thanksgiving dress
-Get spreadsheet in order
So… yeah…. My Etsy shop def. took a back seat this month. I think I was just so busy with life and blogging that Etsy got bumped down.
Personal
-Continue working out: I have continued to get up before the girls to get my work out in.
-Prep more food for Autumn: Can’t say I’ve been doing a great job on this. I will say I try to make more family meals that I know she will be able to eat.
-Finish Annabelle’s Halloween costume in early October: I totally got their dresses done! You can check out this Friday Five for a quick little recap.
