Linking up with Jenna over at Call Her Happy.
August has been super busy at home and super slow on the blog. I think I only posted 4 or 5 times this whole month. Since I haven’t been around much, here is the rundown the happenings.
Aug 1 – I get a little dizzy at how fast the summer is going!
Aug 3 – For the first time I made a set of goals I wanted to accomplish for the month of August. I blog about it here. (Next I’ll blog about how it went!)
Aug 6 – My baby Matthew starts his first day of pre-school! I’m still getting used to not having a little guy by my side a couple days out of the week.
Aug 12 – For my Pinterest Party I made homemade granola bars. Brian and the kids really liked them. (BTW, Elena, yes they were more chewy than crunchy.)
Aug 15 – We celebrate the feast of the Assumption and Niki tags me for a blog hop about writing. (I promise I’ll answer next week, Niki!)
Aug 18 – I celebrate another year of life. 🙂 My mom called and asked if I was stressing out that I am another year older. I was happy to say that I wasn’t. Nowadays I am just happy to be alive another year! I also posted my Online Daybook and talk about cleaning projects (like my disastrous laundry room), prayer, and TV, particularly with Kendra’s Answer Me This.
Aug 24 – John-Paul turns 5 years old. 🙂 He is such a little man.
Aug 25 – The bigger kids start their first day of school – a 7th grade, 1st grade and Pre-K.
Yet I can’t stop thinking about when they looked like this just a few short years ago!
Aug 26 – For the Pinterest Party I work on my daily schedule and offer a free printable – Daily Goal Sheet.
Aug 27 – My sister arrives for a visit and I am giddy with excitement.
Aug 28 – Sweet Bella has surgery to remove five baby teeth that weren’t coming out then she gets the rest of her braces on. She is a trooper!
Aug 29 -Brian leaves for a Catholic conference in SoCal. I’m glad he will have some time away after all he’s been through but I don’t like being separated from him!
Aug 31 – Brian returned home and the following day we went out on a date. It was seriously one of the best dates we’ve had in years. We jokingly decided that he should go away for a few days more often. 😉
There were a lot of other things but these are the highlights. 🙂 What have you been up to lately?
