It’s crazy that it is already September the 4th! I am so excited that the weather has turned cooler and that Fall seems to be here. There is nothing I like better than jeans and a hoodie.
With a 10 day vacation at the end of August, I’m pretty sure some of my goals got pushed to the back burner, but let’s take a look and see what I actually did get accomplished!
BLOG
~Figure out IG Hashtags and orgainze them: That’s a big nope.
~Re-pin old posts/pins to group boards: I’m giving myself a pass, even though it’s kinda iffy. On vacation I tried to organize some of my group boards, so that utilizing them will be easier.
~Get the felt dolls on the blog: Well, I didn’t get them all on, but that’s because I decided to spread them out so I could provide step by step directions for each one. You can check out my first one here.
~Categorize 30 posts: I totally got this done. My plan was to do a few a day, but I ended up doing a bunch the first few days of the month. Which is a good thing, since I then forgot to do anymore. Opps.
~Finish bucket list: I didn’t finish it, but did come pretty damn close. I’ll by doing my final recap soon.
~Finish organizing link parties (and make a category for monthly ones): Once again I failed at this. I will get it done. Eventually.
~create an off the shoulder dress of Annabelle: nope, ran out of time.
~Make a first day of school sign: I got this done too! Even though Annabelle doesn’t start until Wednesday, I snapped a few pictures to I could get in on the blog. If you’d like to make your own re-usable chalkboard, check out the post here.
~Reach 8k pageviews: So I totally blew this out of the water, but that’s because I had two sponsored posts boosted by the company. Can you tell when that happened?
PERSONAL
~Be asleep by 11 at least once a week: I did this! 🙂 Now if I can only keep it up.
~Finish my dress: nope
~Finish Autumn’s MSU dress and make one for Annabelle: Check and check. Autumn decided she didn’t want to wear the dress, so I made her a quick skirt. Annabelle like her dress though, which I am happy about.
~Clean up my email: I did clean up my email, but it’s messy again…. le sigh. How do y’all keep your email organized?
~Go on a date night: Not as much as a date night, as a day date, you can read all about our wine tour here.
~Declutter kitchen: nope
~Get ready to send Annabelle to preschool: I think I’m ready!!
FITNESS
~Work out 5x a week: I almost got this done! There were just a few days that I skipped the workout to give myself some extra time with the blog.
~Drink 4 tumblers of water a day: yep
~record meals/snacks: nope
~Limit booze:
~Cut back on mindless munching
So, onto September!
You may notice that my September goals are a bit on the lighter side. With Annabelle starting school for the first time, I want to make sure I don’t over do it.
