AUGUST! Finally! No I am not a huge fan of August but we are going to Chicago this month AND seeing Hamilton, so yeah you could say I’m excited! I am sharing my August goals and seeing what all I accomplished in July!
August Goals
In July I wanted to…
- Read 3 books now that I have more time to read: Yes I did! Sharing book recs soon!
- Keep up with all of the W’s: I did and I am soooo close to my wedding weight goal! I have less than 15 lbs to go!
- Take Liam for daily walks somewhere indoors (like the mall) since its getting too hot for outside walks: We didn’t go daily but we have gone walking as much as we can!
- Enjoy July 4th with Andrew and Liam (one of my fav holidays): We had a very relaxing holiday just the way we wanted it.
- Cook more: We made a few new recipes this month and I am sharing my favorite summer salads soon!
- Have two dates with Andrew: Eh this was slacking but we did spend a lot of time at home together.
- Do a little purging of stuff we don’t need: Yes we had Salvation Army pick up a bunch of stuff and I donated several bags of clothes.
- Clean out Liam’s closet (yes already!) Yes! My sweet almost 6 month old is in 9-12 month clothes! He’s getting so big!
In August I want to…
- Read 4 books
- Explore places in Chicago I have never been
- Plan a trip to Houston
- Focus on Pinterest growth (really close to 20K)
- Keep up with the W’s
- Put away toys that Liam has outgrown and get out some of his 6-12 month toys
- Write blog posts through September
- Spend some time with my parents more than we have this summer
- Have 2 dates with Andrew
What do you want to accomplish in August?
Can’t wait to see your book recommendations and summer recipes! Congrats on reaching your goals!

I want to go to Houston, too. I have never really been to Texas (layovers definitely don’t count), so I would love to plan a trip.
I have never been to Chicago, but it is a place I have always wanted to go. It looks like such a wonderful city to visit!
I’ve never been to Houston. I’ve heard it’s an awesome place to visit. 4 books in a month? Good luck. I love to read…with 3 kids and running everywhere, it’s a luxury.
Great goals! I want to survive work, continue increasing pageviews, and get at least one sponsored post!
I’ve been trying to figure out what all I want to accomplish this month and it’s starting with reading more books!

I live in Houston…what do you possibly want to see in this hot mess of a city?! lol, 😉
My goals for August are to finish organizing, cleaning, and decluttering my house. I also want to finish writing all my backlogged reviews and get a bunch of posts scheduled for this fall when #3 arrives.
Wish I was seeing Hamilton! It doesn’t come to town until 2019 or something so we have a bit of a wait ahead of us. Have fun! August goals…finish reading the 3 books I’ve been reading for what seems like forever!
Chicago and Houston are two cities I plan to visit. I have friends that have lived both places and tell me they are great cities.
I’ve been trying to read more books too! It’s such a great way to relax and have some downtime without a phone/laptop. Can’t wait to see your recs because I’m on the hunt for a good book to take on my camping trip in a few weeks.
Fantastic goals! I love the one about 2 dates with your partner. I feel that when you have kids date nights tend to be a low priority…..however they are so important!
Good luck achieving all your August goals. 😉
These are great goals! I haven’t been consistent with setting monthly goals this year but I’m hoping to get back to it because I really think it helps me stay focused. I’m still working on my list for August but at the top is 20 hot yoga classes. The studio I go to has been doing a challenge all summer and if you complete 20 classes in a month, you’re entered to win a 3 month membership. I didn’t make it in June or July so this is my last chance and FINGERS CROSSED I can do it and WIN!
This is awesome! Good for you! I love reading other people’s goals ..it’s so inspirational!
I hope you are able to accomplish your goals and that your August gets increasingly better.
SO excited for you to see Hamilton. It’s amazing you’re going to LOVE it! I’m totally with you on wanting to cook more this month too!
Your list is so simple and doable! I tend to make mine so complicated and eventually do 40% of it only. Simplicity is the key. I think your goals are reasonable and I should shoot for that.
I want to read more this month too–I recently got a library card and it makes it easier because it’s free!
My biggest goal for August is to get back into blogging and make more time for business. Those are my main to dos this month and once we get back on a school routine.
I love this idea!! 🙂
Hamilton! How exciting!
