June recap:



We worked the CMA music festival
as a fundraiser for my son's football team.
We cleaned bathrooms and suites.
It was a lot of HARD work (I had to clean up throw up 4 times!!)
But we got to see some of the concerts!!




Garth Brooks


Luke Bryan



My cute daughter went to Girls Camp.
I drove girls up to camp (2.5hrs away)
and picked them up.
They were completely pooped!

Did you see that Walmart

are from Fynes Desings.




Have you heard of Sweet Tooth Fairy?
You should because 
she makes the coolest cakes!

Goals recap

yellow metal tumbler


Drink More Water
  I have been drinking a ton of water.
I have been a soda addict for many years.
Come on, it's like my only vice!
But have been having issues so I've cut back.
It's also super hot, so I have been downing the water.

This metal cup keeps my water cold all day long
without leaving condensation all over the place!


Get More Rest
My kids are all really good sleepers now.
They love to sleep in, just like their mama.
We've been getting more rest now that
we are in the middle of the the glorious lazy days of summer!




Take Time to Relax
I'm trying to work on this still.
It's hard being home all day with my kids.
But we are trying to fit in some fun and relaxing things like
having a spa day!

Go on Dates with my Husband
We have been doing pretty well with this,
especially since it was our anniversary.


Goals for next month:
keep up what I'm already doing
read 3-4 books

Continue to post 2x week
I have been consistently posting
twice a week- on Tuesday and Friday.
That seems to be working pretty well for me!

I post on social media at least once a day.
I've joined 4 FB blogging groups
You can catch me here:  IG, FBtwitter, Pinterest

work ahead on my editorial calendar
I brainstormed ideas and came up with blog
topics for the next 7 months. 
I took all of the ideas I came up with 
and plugged them into a calendar.

I also made up my own 2 month 
at a glance calendar to keep track visually.
This is helping!!

Stay on a little bit of a schedule
We haven't done very well with this.

Don't get too lax on chores
My kids have been doing great. 
I usually have to remind them, but then they accomplish
their chores for the day.

We have been tryting to do something fun every day.
Whether it's making s'mores, tie dying tshirts
or going bowling, there's plenty of fun stuff to do.
