S E P T E M B E R Goals.

September in Arizona just doesn't look like the rest of the country. It's still so hot here. There are no leaves to be changing. But we can pretend all we want locked inside our house with our air cranked low and sipping PSL's all day errr day. :)

I'm seriously having a hard time believe that it's already September! It's crazy to think that in just a few short months the holidays will be here. It's one of my most favorite times of the year, so I'm looking forward to it.

Before we dig into this month's goals I thought I'd quickly re-cap August. Here we go:

In August I had a goal to read at least 2 new book and ended up reading 4! Holy cow! I was on a roll! I edited and updated my shop this month, I still need to get some new inventory listed but for now there's a sale going on over there so take advantage! We test drove some cars and finally decided on one. I'd been researching for over a month now, and I'm so glad God has provided for us and that's taken care of. 

Ok, now onto this month's goals: 

This month is going to go rather quickly I think. I've got an out of town trip planned in just a couple weeks. I'm traveling to the Influence Conference for the first time. I'm super excited that I get to meet up with one of my very best friends and we get to experience this together. I've also got several blog projects I need to finish for the 'Bid On A Budget' contest I'm participating in. At the end of the month I'm speaking at a local church's women's event.

So this month is crazy and filled. I have some short and sweet goals for this month!

01. Start Christmas Shopping for my kids.

Yes! I want to try and kick out their portion of Christmas pretty early on. You can read more about how we do Christmas gifts for our kids here. 

02. Read 2 new books.

I've actually got 5 new books on my roster to read. But we'll shoot for two this month. 

03. Work on Zane's big boy room.

This is the room I'm re doing for the contest I mentioned. I've been slowly working on it. But still have to work on making over the big furniture pieces I have. I also need to sell all of the old nursery furniture, since we have no space to store it. 

04. Finish Board & Batten Living Room Project.

We started planning this project and then got all the materials for it and have just been sitting on it. I'd love to finish this project this month.
