Hi, friends! I made the mistake of watching Steel Magnolias on Netflix last night before going to bed. It was my first time watching it since Liz’s diabetes diagnosis. I bawled my eyes out. Such a sad movie, but made me thankful for all the medical advancements with diabetes today.
Anyways, I’m sharing my monthly goals with you today.
Here is a recap of my July goals:
• Go see Chris’s Gran- Didn’t happen. We just couldn’t make our schedules work out.
• Take Madi (my cousin) to the river Done! We had the best time with her. We love our cousin Madi!
• Get classroom completely set up and ready I am ready for students! I have a blog post I’m working on now to share my whole classroom with you. I LOVE how it turned out!
• Read 6 books- Only read 3! My classroom kept my occupied.
• Go one day completely unplugged- Had every intention to do this one day and made it until about noon when Liz’s Dexcom alerts started going off and then I had my phone the rest of the day. I’m finding it more challenging since I watch her sugar so closely on my phone, but I have been mindful with the time I spend on my phone!
• Take girls back to school shopping for clothes and supplies They are all set and ready to go! I found lots of things at Five Below this year for really cheap!
• Relax and enjoy summer break! July was such a low key month for us and I loved it! I will miss the freedom of doing whatever we want, whenever we want!
Now, onto my August goals:
- Find a dresser for the foster room
- Order sign for master bedroom
- Get headboard for master bedroom
- Make a quiz in Google classroom and successfully embed a video into the quiz
- Get math department t-shirts made
- Have friends over for s’mores
- Have a family fish fry
- Find a new foundation I love!
- Turn 34!
Lots of random things I want to accomplish this month! What are some things you hope to accomplish this month?
Have a great Thursday!

You need to check out Senegence. I don’t sell it, but girl, their make up is incredible. Long-lasting & smudge proof. It also has ingredients that clean your skin and doesn’t clog pores. Total gamechanger. I’m going to tag you in some of the Senegence reps I follow! 😍😍
Sounds good, thanks!
We are birthday month twinkies but I will be 35! August is a good birthday month! I am excited to hear more about your fostering, are you planning on taking another placement again?
It is a great month! When we started going through Chris’s mom’s cancer, and then Liz getting diabetes, we took our name off the call list for fostering because our life was a lot and hectic at the time. We are back on the list now and ready to start taking placements again. We are excited!
One thing I want to accomplish this month is having a relaxing anniversary with the husband! We need relax time in our life!
