2. Family Goals:

• Plan 2 birthday celebrations
• Work on a family budget for next year
• Work on sinking fund budget for next year

3. House & Organization Goals:

4. Book & Blog Goals:

• Read 5 books 
• Organize collections on Kindle App
• Schedule out one month of posts

After taking the entire summer off from doing anything blog related it feels great to be back. I guess it’s obvious that I’m back so I didn’t feel the need to do a big intro post again. I’m still going to be doing book posts, including new releases and book reviews, but I’ve gotten a ton of requests from people who know me in real life to start sharing other things that they find useful. So I’m going to be sharing menu plans, recipes, weekly lunch and dinner prep, favorite items, organization ideas, routines, etc. I’m really excited to dive back into writing- I’ve missed it! Please feel free to share my posts with friends who you think will enjoy them or find them useful! I’ve updated a lot of the information on the blog, including social media links, so feel free to check them out and follow along!

1. Personal Goals:
