We are ending the month of August as we usually do: celebrating SkipperClanJr’s birthday.
As for my August 3 in 30 Goals? Two out of three ain’t bad…
Maximize our Travel and Family Time
Adjust Back to Our Normal Schedules
Meet With 50 Customers
I did not meet with 50 customers, yet, but I have until the middle of September for that goal. {If you live locally and would like to help, let me know!} Everything else went great this month. While KitKat and I are not quite ready to get up everyday at 530, I think we are close enough to make the final adjustment next week when school starts.
Now, what about those September Goals?
Fill the Freezer
I would like to get our freezer stocked again with meals and ingredients that make it easier at dinnertime during the school year. Seasoned taco meat, cooked & shredded chicken, enchiladas, lasagna, waffles and so much more. I might even try to get some tomatoes from the local farm stand this first week and get a little bit of canning done.
Purge and Organize the Staircase Closet
We have tons of closet space in this house, something I love. The closet under our stairs seems to have turned into a pit of despair over the summer, however, and I’d like to fix that.
“Fall” Cleaning
I know most people do a round of deep cleaning each spring, but something about getting ready to hunker down for the Fall makes me want to have a clean slate. I focused more on organizing in the spring and now that we’ve had our fun in the mountains and at the shore, I’m ready for the cleanup.
As always, we have all our normal activities going on in September, including the beginning of school and my local PWOC Bible Study group.
Are you challenging yourself in any new areas for Fall?
I had to laugh at the “pit of despair” comment about one of your closets. It sounds like some of the spaces I’ve worked on in my house through the 3 in 30 challenge. Will be interested in what you come up with for the freezer. That’s such a great goal to have – especially as school and activities begin again.
You did great last month! You had such fun goals, and I’m sure you had a good time achieving them. And you’ve got good goals for this month. I would love to have the time to fill our freezer, but I just don’t have it right now. And I’m going to do some cleaning this month as well.
Really good goals this month. I am glad I found your blog, I really enjoy reading other military wives’ blogs. I hope you will come over to Harrington Harmonies and we can share encouragement from time to time. It’s important that we encourage one another. Sounds like you homeschool too! Lots of good stuff here, good job on last months goals.
Thanks for stopping by! We used to homeschool (online charter school technically), but now they are attending a traditional public high school. We start late here in the Pacific Northwest so we can enjoy the few weeks of beautiful weather we get for summertime. Looking forward to checking out your blog, you can like this blog on Facebook too to keep up to date. Thanks!
