August: Month @ a Glance {08.01.24}


Hello and happy August friends! It's hard to believe July has already came and went.  It feels like I just did this post for July, yet here I am talking about August.  August is shaping up to be a busy, but fun month.  It's strange that summer feels like it's almost over, but I feel like that's how it usually goes every summer in Michigan. 

On the Agenda this Month:

1. Morgantown, West Virginia. We're making a trip to Morgantown for the weekend for our third visit to the Keyboard Meetup.  We started attending events a few years ago and it has been a lot of fun going and connecting with new people. 

2. Four book clubs.  Because I love challenging myself by signing up for several book clubs a month.  This month I'll be going to one book club a week which is nice because it breaks up my reading instead of cramming a few weeks into one week.

3. SUP yoga with a friend. I did SUP yoga with my friend a few times and we're going back again to do another round of yoga.  I am excited to go and challenge myself again. 

4. Learn to make macarons. A few girlfriends and I are heading to Sur la Table to take a macaron making class.  I've never attempted to make macarons before so this will be a lot of fun to do with them. 

5. Celebrate my niece's second birthday. Right now the tentative plan is to celebrate her birthday by going to a cat cafe to visit with kitties and have a coffee.  After that we will go out to dinner. 

6. Pedicures with my friend. My friend and I go together almost every month to get our feet right and it's so nice.  

7. High tea with my friends. I am excited because a few of us are going to a high tea and this will be our third time going together.  I am excited to go with them! 

8. Brunch with the girls. A few of us are going to brunch at the end of the month to my favorite restaurant.  I love going to The Fed and look forward to the time with my friends. 

9. Baby shower for a friend.  My friend is having a baby girl in the near future so I will be going to a little shower for her and her husband.  Speaking of which... I need to get her a gift. 


Goals for August

August is going to be busy but fun so why not keep up the trend of goals.   

1. Drink 80+oz of water a day.  The last two weeks I've managed to get 80oz or very close to 80oz of water in every day which is great. 

2. Take my vitamins daily.  Like my water, I've been on my vitamin grind too! I always feel so much better when I take my vitamins so I'm going to keep going with that. 

3. 100 Miles, 100 days.  June was rough with the miles so I am going to have to double up some days this month to catch up.  If you want to join in the fun check out my InstagramFacebook Page or Google Group


4. Finish three books. I've been reading so much this year that it feels right to make this month's reading goal of three books.  I should be able to accomplish this easily as I signed up for four book clubs. 

Like previous months I will be using a tracker that I created which was inspired by Evermore Paper Co..  Their website is still down, so I am using my version I created for tracking this month.  I'm hoping their site will go back up soon, but if you'd like to use mine, just click on the image at the end of this post - to be clear their version was free and this version is free.  I will not earn any income from this printable. 

Well I think that is everything for today! I hope you have a great month!

Question of the Day: What do you have planned in August?

Have a wonderful day,
Jackie
