With the Independence Day holiday this week, I’m a little behind on posting July goals. But since I love setting goals (even though I don’t always accomplish them), I still wanted to get these written out!
Where in the world is our summer going? June seemed to go by quickly and now I feel like summer is disappearing way to quickly!! I feel like I wasn’t as productive this month, mostly because we were out of town for 2 weeks out of the month and The Teacher was out of town for the first half of the month. Before we move on to July, here’s a quick recap of June.
1. Have a date night with The Teacher
We made a point to have a date night while we were at the beach on vacation. With built-in childcare staying in the same house with us, it was a no brainer. We kept it simple with a meal, window shopping, and then a drive on the 4WD beach. It was a lot of fun!
2. Schedule a physical for myself & appointment for Savannah
Still hasn’t happened. 🙁
3. Continue tidying – finish up clothes and then move to books
I think I’m finished with all of my clothes and shoes. I may run through my drawers and one final time to make sure though. I am hoping to get The Teacher on board in the next week or so and then move on to books. I guess this is half-finished, so I don’t feel too bad. 🙂
4. Finish decorating upstairs bathroom & organizing linen closet
This one is half-finished as well. I’ve finished setting up the linen closet, but still haven’t found the last couple of accessories that I want to finish up the decor. Since returning home from vacation, I’ve been able to get out in the stores more and see what is out there. I’m going to mark this off because I’m only lacking 1 thing. 🙂
5. Sell baby/household items
I don’t even know why I included this one since I wasn’t in town much. Most everything that I’ve discarded while going through the tidying process has been donated, so there really isn’t a ton to sell anyway.
6. Start brainstorming ideas for Savannah’s new room
We picked out her new bedding and have some images from Pinterest as our inspiration, so I think we are almost ready to begin!

Here is my plan for July goals.
1. Have a date night with The Teacher
We have some family coming to town in a few days, so we may try to squeeze this in when we have more free childcare!
2. Schedule a physical for myself & appointment for Savannah
Needs to happen – still!
3. Continue tidying – tidy The Teacher’s clothes (with him) and then start on books
This will probably be on my list for a few months as we work through the difference categories.
4. Start working on Savannah’s new room
I’m really looking forward to this one. It may take me into August to get it totally finished, but I’m hoping to make some good progress this month! I think it’ll be really cute.
5. Start gathering school supplies for the fall
I still can’t believe Savannah will be starting school in a couple more months. I want to start gathering supplies now so I’m not panicked in another month.
6. Come up with an official blog hours schedule for the fall.
I’ve struggled with setting up official blog hours, but it’s been going better since The Teacher is home this summer. We’ve been doing well balancing my need to have blog hours with his need to have study hours for grad school. I’d like to talk with him and think through a good schedule for the fall when he is back to teaching so that my time for blogging doesn’t get pushed aside.
There you have it. I’ll report back and let you know how I do.
