Goals for August

This month is a little short. We still have a lot going on. Jayne's and The Crazy Elephant's birthdays are both this month and it is bound to be exciting. I am still working with the itemized goals from last month and will continue to do so. I am mainly concerned about these 3 overall items...

*Get more exercise. That is a whole family effort. We have put a daily 30 minute dog walk into our routine and plan on having another hour of outside time, when we can, for Jayne as well. We spend too much time staying cool/warm in our house year round. It doesn't help that Adam and I are very much inside people as well.

*Check off my planner. I have gone through the entire month of august and written down all I want to accomplish. I can check off each item as I go. The items include household chores, Crazy Elephant work, and blogging. I am hoping to check off every single item on my planner.

*Finish getting ready for school. If I can get 2 weeks of school prepped per week, I can get the whole school year planned out before school starts. Of course there will be changes over time, but the groundwork will have been laid.

I am really excited for this last month of summer! How are you going to spend it?

I am really watching what you guys are accomplishing and I am thinking of trying to implement some of what you are doing to try and help our family both save money and learn how to keep things up around the house.

We have already talked about going down to just basic cable and keeping internet and netflix after reading your blog the other day.

We are working on cleaning out throwing/donating things in our house that we are not using anymore and really thinking about new things before we buy or bring them in to our home.

Thanks for blogging about it, cuz we are having a hard time keeping the house organized and scheduling our lives to keep everything done on a regular basis. I enjoy hearing about you trying new things and letting us know how they are working for your family!

Thanks Jill! I might have to schedule a post about keeping our house clean. It didn't used to be and now I barely spend any time working on it! I am so glad we can help : )
