Happy October 1st! I’m doing another round of Monthly Goals to help me stay on task for the month of October. First, let’s see how I did on my first month of goal planning in September. I achieved all three goals under family! With the occasional later bedtime while traveling or the weekend, we’ve got Soph on a more regular bedtime routine! Jeffrey and I went to see Mike Birbiglia and Soph and I went to every Babies Loves Books except the Monday she was visiting her Grandparents. My Life goals were not as successful! I did not complete ANY of them! We stopped Whole 30 a week early just because. There really was no reason. We are going to continue to eat those foods with an occasional treat until we reach our goals. We both lost a lot (24 lb for me) but still have a ways to go. I can’t figure out how to get my darn Lumo Lift to stay on my body, so until I get that figured out, it sits on my desk. I didn’t even attempt Me Before You because I read reviews on how terribly sad it was and couldn’t put myself through that! I got half way through Daring Greatly and am really enjoying that book! I did nothing with Project Life or my closet building plans. I saw that it was going to cost $890 for new wood hangers and decided the closet reno will have to be for another time. I did pretty terrible on my Blog goals as well. I still have not completed Blog Life and I only revamped one old post. I did, however, repin like a mad woman. I also got asked by Anna to be a co-host for a big Pinning Party this Saturday for Boogie Wipes! I’m OK with the things I didn’t get accomplished because I got a lot of non-goal items accomplished!

- Find a date-night sitter for Soph

PS. is this not the cutest? What are your goals for October? How’d September turn out for you? I fear October, November and December are going to be tough to accomplish all my goals but I’m up for trying!
Great list of goals, Shelly and yes, that picture is adorable!!!!
Thanks Echo! 😉 Do you do monthly goals?
Love your goals! How fun that you’re doing a Pinterest Party with Anna! I’m doing an Instagram giveaway with her for Boogie!
Nice! I don’t do givaways on Insta but I’m headed over to check it out and to see your goals!
It’s great to have goals, even if you can’t accomplish them for good reasons. Hey, I’m reading Eleanor & Park right now. I love it. Can’t wait to see how it ends. Hopefully happily but I always wish for happy endings. Love the last photo of Soph playing the guitar :).
I’m loving that E&P too! I’ve only sat down to read it once and read 1/3 of it. 😉 We should probably start a bloggy book club. 😉
I used to try to not have to do laundry on weekends, but I’ve decided I actually prefer to do it all in one big chunk rather than a little bit each day. I don’t know why, but it works for me. Heaven help us when we’re out of town for the weekend, though!!
I’ll probably get like that wen we have more laundry. It’s honestly a bit out of control with just the three of us because Jeffrey and Sophie tend to wear three outfits/day!
