Happy Monday of a long weekend! I hope everyone is doing fantastic this Labor Day Monday! It’s always fun to have a long weekend, even if Autumn does have Hand, Foot, and Mouth (which is not so much fun). Thankfully she has being doing well, but it kinda put a damper on our weekend plans (like hosting a Fantasy Draft Party. No one wanted to step foot in our house, understandably). And really leaving the house for any reason, since I don’t want to bring her out in public.  At any rate, today I wanted to share some of my September goals with you!
Now that I am really back into blogging, I wanted to start writing down my goals again. I always love reading other people’s goals, and I think writing them down helps hold me accountable. And although I didn’t share my August goals on the blog, I did write them down, so I’ll go through them now!
BLOG
~ Blog twice a week: I am happy to say that I have been doing a good job getting two posts in. I am actually closer to three posts a week.
~ Planner on blog: I created a pen and calendar holder for myself and was able to get it on the blog. You can check the directions out here. I have pulled it out at a few doctor appointments, and everyone thinks it’s pretty cool.
~ Spreadsheet for Pinterest: I’m going to say I did this, but I really don’t like the one I made. It’s an excel spreadsheet on my computer, but I know I can come up with something better.
~ Re-create 3-4 pins: can’t say I accomplished this. I think I re-did two pins? I didn’t even keep track really. The problem is, most of the pins I want to redo are because I don’t like the picture, which means I need to retake pictures. That means, I need to re-make whatever it is that I pinned. Lots of work to do.
~ Create a daily planner sheet: I did this, and I have to say I am quite happy with how it turned out. You can get your free downloadable copy here.
~ Brainstorm list of posts: I do have a list of posts that I want to do. I think I am going to have to narrow it down, as I have lots of ideas, and am really trying hard to not over-schedule myself,
PERSONAL
~ Plan Autumn’s birthday: not a whole lot done with this. I feel bad, but Autumn doesn’t have a whole lot of her own friends. Most of Annabelle’s friends are her friends too. At three is when Annabelle had her first “friend” party,and I’d like to do something similar.
~ Work out: nope. My ellpitcal machine is still not put together, and honestly I just don’t have the energy. Now that school has started I do walk Annabelle everyday. I am going to try some online videos for a pregnancy workout, since I could do it when I am home with Autumn.
~ Sew a dresses for the girls: Yes! Well a dress for Autumn, and a skirt and shirt for Annabelle. They are MSU dresses, and turned out so cute! Unfortunately they got dirty before I could get a good picture.
~ Send Annabelle to Kindergarten: this was a success! So far it has only been two and a half days, but she is loving it. I didn’t cry the fist day, and was able to leave with a smile on my face. I know it will be weird going places during the day without her, but I think she is going to rock.
So overall I would say I did ok. I dominated on the blog stuff, not so much on the personal. But what can I say. You win some, you lose some. 😉
Now onto my goals for September!
