ON THE AGENDA THIS MONTH
1. Quick Labor Day trip. Justin and I haven't been up to his parents cabin in quite a long time so it will be great to get away for a quick trip to the cabin. I'm also excited because I am taking my paddle board up to use on the lake.
2. Wedding for our friends. Our neighbor (and friend) is getting married in September and were invited to celebrate them both. We haven't been a wedding a while so it will be fun to celebrate them.
3. Another cooking class with Shannon and Trista. After we enjoyed making macarons in early August, we decided to sign up for another class where we will be making a taste of Italy. I love making pasta so this will be quite fun.
4. Grown up book fair with my reading friends. I'm excited because I am going to a grown up book fair with a few of my reading friends and I haven't been to a book fair as an adult. I'm not really sure what to expect, but I imagine it will be a lot of fun.
5. Five book clubs at Inscribe Books + our monthly Silent Book Club meeting. This month I have signed up for a total of five book clubs. I don't usually do that many in a months time, but all of the books sounded sooo good that I could not pass. On top of that, I also have my September Silent Book Club meeting. So I'll be at a total of six book clubs this month.
6. Ladies retreat with my mom. Every fall, mom and I go to a ladies retreat in northern Michigan and this year is no different. I am looking forward to going to the retreat with my mom - it is always a nice get away for the two of us.
7. Pinch pot clay art class. One of the goals I gave myself for 35 things for 35 was to try something new, so I signed up for a pinch pot clay art class and we will be making pumpkins which will be perfect for Fall.
8. Brunch with my girlfriends. As is the standard for every month, I am having my girlfriends over for brunch at the end of the month. I am excited because I am planning to make a fall sangria and maybe do a caramel apple charcuterie board.
GOALS FOR SEPTEMBER
1. Read all books for book club. I usually give myself a goal to read three books a month but considering I have five books to read for book club I am making my goal to finish all book club books this month.
2. Focus on self-care. August I got rather nonchalant about my self-care and I am suffering for it now. My goal is to consume 80+ oz of water a day, take my vitamins and do thorough skin and teeth care every day in September.
3. Move my body. As the weather starts cooling down, I would like to get out and go for walks more or do yoga or something outside. We've had do much stress lately that I really need to get back into the habit of movement every day.
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
