intentional living, little by little

No.293: Intentions for the End of September

“I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift,
that gift would be curiosity.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt

INTENTIONS FOR THE END OF SEPTEMBER

  • use up the zucchini in the freezer (make bread?)
  • schedule eye exams for M and D
  • call for a consultation with Invisible Fence
  • start buying birthday presents for D
  • shop around for better car insurance
  • buy batteries for the emergency closet (fun fact: September is National Preparedness Month)
  • change the filter in the attic
  • go at least 7 days without spending money
  • redo Sophie’s phonics/reading plans to accommodate possible dyslexia
  • make a reading reward chart
  • replace our old American flag (100LT #30)
  • start a decluttering challenge

            PREVIOUS INTENTIONS

            If you’re reading on your phone or in a reader, be sure to click over to see what I checked off the list!

            • do some research to see if I can find a local Civil War reenactment (I found a semi-close one happening in October!)
            • embroider Sophie’s name onto her new lab coat (one of her birthday gifts!)
            • make a running list of needed fall/winter clothes (still need to buy socks, shoes and a few winter coats, but I made a good dent in the list)
            • schedule eye exams for M and D
            • call for a consultation with Invisible Fence (the previous owners installed one on the property, but we have no idea where it is)
            • go apple picking
            • make apple butter
            • make blueberry freezer jam
            • preorder supplies for December Daily (really excited to do this project again this year)
            • list a few new things on Poshmark (added a delicate merino wool sweater, a like new Athleta tank, and a few skirts perfect for the upcoming season)
