July was a lovely month! We spent a lot of time outside, in our yard especially. The kids enjoyed outings with their aunts, and I enjoyed some down time. I was able to finish all my goals apart from diaper sewing (will do early this month), and I am particularly pleased with Lily’s crocheted dragon (photos coming in a future post). The girls’ dresses are also adorable:
I was able to get Emma’s school shopping done; still waiting on lists for Johnny and Lily, but our local preschool typically asks for basics I have on hand anyhow (paper towels, kleenex, wipes…) And we did find a backpack for Lily; Johnny and Emma can both use their backpacks from last year.
I’m keeping goals for August simple:
- Enjoy our new baby. Target Area: gratitude
- Enjoy visiting family. Target Area: gratitude
What do you hope to accomplish in August?

You must be really close!!! Thinking about you : )
I think I won’t need to do any shopping! We already have backpacks, lunch sacks, etc. And I have great hand me downs for both kids from my sis and a friend. May have to buy at least one special nice new outfit for my daughter though : )

How exciting to have everything you need!
And yes, the baby is officially due tomorrow – will probably show up late, though :)

Wise goals for August. :) I find the weeks before birth are so rich in feelings of accomplishment and enjoying the simple beauties of family life. I hope this time I will also be so very productive at the end. :)
