September To-Do List {Mission of the Month}

by

Yes, it’s that time again.
The beginning of the month, and that means a new to-do list.
The seasons are just about to change, we’re all going to readjust our gears a bit, so what better time than to start your own list if you don’t have one already? It’s so much easier than you think, and you feel so good when you can check off the goals you accomplish!

August In Review:

Personal

  • Get at least 7 hours of sleep most nights Yes! Well, at least most nights anyway
  • Eat more healthy, cut back on junk food  This is always a work in progress for me
  • Read my Bible more consistently This is a constant goal
  • Schedule hair appointment No, still have to do this, my hair will thank me when I do
  • Schedule Dr. checkup Um, no
  • Schedule Dentist apt Another no

Obviously, I’ll need to make myself a bit more accountable to, well, myself this coming month about making those appointments.



Family

  • Be consistent with kids chores Yes, definitely improving in this department
  • Read out loud with the kids We stopped reading How to Train Your Dragon, because they just weren’t into it, but we’ve done lots of smaller book reading, which they love
  • Date night with Dave Yes! Finally. Only one this entire Summer, but at least we finally got one in. It was only a movie and Starbucks afterwards, but the night out alone is always nice!
  • Do at least two activities from our Summer Bucket List We actually did lots of things on our bucket list this month!
  • Tennessee vacation No, and this makes me sad. My husband had an unexpected surgery, which cancelled our TN vaca plans. Boo. He’s feeling better though, so it was worth it.
  • Gradually begin waking up earlier to adjust to school morning times We didn’t start this until about 10 days before school started, but we were up and ready by the first day of school!
  • First day of school Off to a good start so far!

Projects/Home/Blog

  • Fix Lego table No, not yet, but it’s up there on my goal list for Sept now that the kids are all in school
  • Find two new recipes and try them Only one new recipe, but it was a good one, I made a peach cobbler from scratch!
  • Fix at least two freezer meals  Yep, tried and true shepherds pie and lasagna rolls
  • Find a roofer for our leaky ceiling Found the right roofer, just waiting for his schedule to clear
  • Stay consistent with blogging calendar by scheduling ahead of time It’s amazing how much easier blogging is when you have a routine and an idea of when to post what. Wow!
  • Redo dining room chairs You might remember, I painted them! Whoo-hoo!
  • Start SPARK blog party Surely by now you know of this, it’s starting in a few days, 9/6, but just in case you’ve missed it, read all about it HERE.
