September Goals

9/15/15

August was such a good month. Full of highlights like Llewyn turning two months old, being featured over at Align Album Design, participating in the week-long Rising Tide Society Instagram challenge which led to new Insta friends, getting sweet & thoughtful gifts in the mail, flying for the first time with Llewyn and getting quality time with family in Indiana, shooting a gorgeous wedding at a new favorite venue (that I can’t wait to blog, soon!), having my first date night out with Aaron since the baby was born, having my cousin & her husband visit for several days, and having Llewyn’s nursery featured on Apartment Therapy! So many fun things. But now it’s unreal that September is already well underway!

Here’s how August ended up:

PERSONAL

  • Read at least 2-3 more chapters in Baby Wise
  • Drink 60+ ounces of water a day (I only hit this some days, but some are better than none!)
  • Go for at least 4 walks with Llewyn (I think I only did two….womp, womp)
  • Finish sending out birth announcements
  • Write in Llewyn’s baby book everything applicable to date
  • Take load of stuff to Goodwill
  • Fly with Llewyn for the first time!

BUSINESS

  • Blog at least twice a week
  • Submit 1-2 shoots of any kind
  • Get all album orders up to date
  • Restock all shipping supplies (In progress!)
  • Buy mail scale & stop having to go to Post Office!
  • Finish editing fashion shoot

Sooo. Not my most productive month, but that’s ok! Sometimes that happens. And there was plenty of other stuff that I still got done. Here’s to a productive rest-of-September and some of the things I’m hoping to get accomplished!

So excited for the weather to start cooling off a little and enjoying the beginnings of Fall! September is always one of my favorites, so I can’t wait to see what the next few weeks will hold. What is your biggest goal for this month?
