august goals
it’s here! august… the month of back to school! {but first a trip to the beach for a week! yay!} i plan to take a technology break next week while we enjoy some beach time, but will be blogging some in the mornings {with a cup of black coffee and a view of the ocean- some of my very favorite things!} not to be a complete downer, but august has always been my least favorite month of the year, by far. i am not a heat person and it’s usually the hottest month of the year in the carolinas {although it’s been close to 100 degrees here since early june- with hardly any rain} i would rather have cooler temps and even some rain! so i have been dreaming about fall- every.single.day. october and december are my favorites months- and even november down here {it’s beautiful!} give me some boots, a sweater, football, crisp air, colorful trees and campfires. i think i have mentioned this before? but i secretly spray pumpkin air freshener throughout our house around this time each year- while dreaming of fall. is this weird?! at the end of the day… although august brings nervousness about a new school year and usually a lot of change, i have decided to go in with a positive mind. i am excited to see my co-workers, meet new students, and begin my ninth year of teaching middle school. i set my classroom up {for the most part} this week- which felt amazing. july went by so fast! do you agree?
– start to journal and create baby boy’s scrapbook {i started yesterday!!} michael’s had all project life materials for 40% off + my 15% off teacher discount! so excited to begin. i will be sharing my pages and progress with you all as i create… again, any project life advice?! {i would love you forever!}
– fast from social media often {esp. at night/on the weekends by only going on for a few minutes a few times a day- i still want to keep in touch with loved ones/bloggers} and in exchange, i hope to read, workout, organize, and spend time with my husband
– stay calm and enjoy the beginning of the school year – no matter what comes my way!
– read at least two books and continue morning devotionals {focused prayer on a healthy pregnancy and the health of my loved ones}
– create healthy meal plans for the week on sundays and continue to drink lots of water!!

If it could just be October for 9 months of the years I would be so happy 🙂 Then we can do two months of December with one month of summer weather. Perfection! (I dislike hot weather, too!) Your goals sound great!!
