September! Wow! You guys this summer flew by! Here we are at Labor Day Weekend. Hard to believe. Well before we all go enjoy the long weekend I am going to share my September Goals as well as a look back at how August went! Happy weekend friends!
In August I wanted to…
Read 4 books: eh I read 2. It was a busy month!
Explore places in Chicago I have never been: yes we went to the Aquarium with Liam, saw Hamilton, and saw some other areas we hadn’t been to.
Plan a trip to Houston: We are going in a few weeks hopefully! Andrew’s family is all there so we are glad to be able to go see them.
Focus on Pinterest growth (really close to 20K): Yep still focused on it but not as much as I wished.
Keep up with the W’s: I did keep up with it great and worked out every single day of our trip! BUT I did have a few cheat meals and you know what it’s OK. I did not gain any weight so remember it’s all about balance.
Put away toys that Liam has outgrown and get out some of his 6-12 month toys: I did this! I put away some of his more babyish toys and took out a little bit of the more complicated ones.
Write blog posts through September: Almost done!
Spend some time with my parents more than we have this summer: I have gotten to see my mom a lot but my dad has been super busy at work so never as much as I wish I could see him.
Have 2 dates with Andrew: Yep we went and saw a movie (Baby Driver) and saw Hamilton together in Chicago!
In September I want to…
Read 4 books
Have 2 more dates with Andrew
Decorate for Fall
Go through my shoes and donate ones I don’t wear
Re-fold items in our linen closet (driving me nuts)
Keep up with working out and try to wean myself off tracking food but still eating well (close to my goal weight so I really want to try to not obsess over it)
Great job on your August goals! It looks like you really accomplished most of them. For September, I really need to get more active again. I’m hoping to join a couple dance classes and I need to up my water intake, but being active should help with that. 🙂
I’m hoping to get several blog posts written for September this next week as I’ll have a few free days off this weekend and then some plane time while I travel to/from Salt Lake City next week. I’m so impressed with how much you’re able to get ahead with your blogging, that’s always been a goal of mine but it can definitely be so hard for me to manage!
This post got me really thinking…what are my goals for September? My birthday is tomorrow but other than that I really don’t know. I would like to get back to the gym, start eating healthier and organize my bedroom!
My kiddos and I decorated our house for fall today. We will be adding more decorations as we make crafts. My biggest September goal is to finish canning my apples and tomatoes.
Great job on your goals last month!! How did Andrews family do with the hurricane? I am so happy it’s done and gone though we have a long way to go here in Houston. Thankfully we had no damage to our home. I seriously need to get my hurt back to reading again. Things have just been crazy busy. Good luck with your goals this month!
Wow, you did really well on your August goals! I love the idea of writing blog posts ahead of time. Maybe I should add that to my own goal list. Cheers to a great September, Neely!
I love the idea of writing goals. Fall is almost upon us so for the month of September, I’d start to decorate for fall and bringing all sweaters and boots out.
My husband’s birthday is next week, and I’ve done nothing to prepare. My first goal is to get it planned! After that I really need to get Halloween costumes started.
Ah! I’m so jealous that you saw Hamilton! Everyone that I know who has seen it says it’s incredible and as a history buff, I feel like I really, really need to see it-haha!
The summer has definitely just flown by. I am excited to get back to school over with and to start focusing on preparing for the holidays. It’s a great time of the year.
Great job on working toward those goals and planning ahead for September! My main goal, starting tomorrow, is working on writing from 2-5 daily and reading more books… I like your goal of 4! Might have to borrow it 😉
You’ve bee doing great! No need to worry about not quite achieving some of the goals, you’re almost there. Much better than me, at least!

I need to try and do a goal list, just to see how many I can do. May not be many since life is always crazy, but I will have to give it a try.
Ankur and I saw Hamilton in Chicago too! It was quite possibly the best night of my life! (EVEN MORE THAN MY WEDDING! Hahaha)
SOOOO GOOD! Right?
My goal is just to be organized enough to set goals! Sometimes I feel like I’m just spinning my wheels. I’m impressed with your list!
Sounds like you had a productive month! I’m so excited to decorate for fall. I may or may not have already gotten a head start! Happy September!
Love this post, I really need to start doing some goal setting!
I really wish I could see Hamilton. Everyone who I’ve talked to who has seen it says it’s just phenomenal!

Love these goals! Do you have a working book list you choose from?
It sounds like you did a good job sticking to those goals. I don’t have any goals yet for September but I should write a few down.

What a great goal list! I need to do go through this house and reorganize and find me a good workout class as well!
I’m with you on the shoes… I love shoes but really only wear a few pairs. It’s time to say goodbye to some 🙁
Sounds like August was super successful for you! Creating lists like this is so important, thanks for sharing yours!

What a great idea! I love your blogs about making goals! Also, SO jealous you saw Hamilton!
You’re totally smashing your goals – that’s fantastic. You have me thinking about creating my own goals for September now. Thanks for the inspiration!
I really should concentrate more on Pinterest. It does bring good traffic, just so much work to do it!
Sounds like a good list. Great job on your Pinterest follows! I hope you achieve your goals this month.

My biggest September goal is get the whole family on a better routine. It starts with me actually waking up to my alarms.
These are some great goals, and they definitely inspired me to work on my own goal list for the month!
I love doing goal posts like this & reading others. I know I didn’t fulfill all my August goals, but looking forward to September & a change of pace.
i need to start on my goals for this month. good reminder.

These are some great goals! I have been lacking in my goals this year and really need to start focusing on them again!
If I could finish one book I’d be happy!! Love your list!!
