I know, I know… August is half over. But I’m blaming my tardiness on the fact that we were away from home for the first quarter of the month. I’m going to just count August as a “vacation month” and make only a few simple goals instead of a whole slew of them.

Here’s how I did for July:

1. Keep doing great with early scripture reading. Honestly…I probably scored about a 50% on this one this month.
2. Do abs and arm workouts twice per week. Hardcore!
3. Clean up the closet in our room and donate unwanted items. I did make up a bag of clothes I want to donate… just haven’t donated them yet. But we also decluttered by getting rid of my old dresser, so that feels pretty good, too!
4. Complete two sewing projects. I actually did THREE (count ’em, three!) little projects. Kaya’s shorts, Jax’s bandana, and alterations on my dress for the wedding. Boo-yah! 5. Eat a salad (or any big serving of vegetables) every day. YES! I have done so well with this goal and my body feels so good! 6. Read a book. Nope 🙁
7. Get in bed by 11 pm every day. Again… this goal seems like a joke.
8. Practice piano for 15 minutes on Wednesday and 15 minutes on Saturday. I came up 20 minutes short for the whole month. That’s still pretty awesome so I’m counting it as a win.

Goals for August:

1. Deep clean my refrigerator. Is it sad that this is a goal? Unfortunately, this is one place in my home that gets forgotten…

2. Plan Kaya’s first birthday photos/outfit/cake. This includes getting any supplies needed for her photos. (And for the record… how is my sweet baby already turning ONE?!)

3. Complete one “crafty” project.

4. Finish editing Kevin and Tori’s wedding photos.

See you again in just two weeks!
