September. A month of new beginnings and busier schedules. A month of happiness and hardship. A month filled with lots of laughs and a few tears too. A month of celebration for our two littlest. Transition months are always a bit tricky and September was no exception. But at the end of the day, it was good.
A few of my favorite blog posts in September:
+ Better than Before: A Review
+ The Inspired Readers Book Club: Book Three
+ 20 Things I Love: A Gratitude Journal vol.4
My September goals, reviewed:
1. Make more concrete plans for PreK. Done. I ordered a Letter of the Week Preschool Curriculum and so far, I’ve been really impressed. We supplement the worksheets with lots of picture books and a craft or two and it seems like enough.
2. Make an emergency preparedness kit. This turned out to be a huge undertaking! A simple search on Pinterest revealed a whole new world of 48-Hour Kits and Bug Out Bags. Needless to say, I was a bit overwhelmed! I decided to start small and make Mark a Winter Prep Kit for his car. Other small steps we took: buying more non-perishables in bulk, making sure we have flashlights on every floor, and starting a first aid kit.
3. Go to the dentist. Done! So glad that is over with!
4. Get back to making reading a priority. How do I answer this one? Sort-of? I’m definitely choosing to read again, but not getting very far. There just aren’t enough hours in a day!
5. Go apple picking. Not yet, but we hope to get there in the next couple of weeks.
And my one goal for October:
1. Start and complete 31 days of writing on the blog. // This is a totally crazy time of year for me to attempt something like this, but I’m jumping in anyway! Hoping for the best…we’ll see how it goes!
