May was B-U-S-Y and ended on a very sour note, but surprisingly, I managed to accomplish almost everything on my list.
Today I’m recapping my May goals and listing my June goals. June goals are going to look a bit different/more generic than they were originally going to since Olivia broke her arm, but we’re just going to try to roll with it. As always, I’m using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I accomplished my goals.

ReplyDelete25 accomplished is great! The ferns look gorgeous. Love your funnies. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou did great on your May goals! What did you think of Firefly Lane? I'm pretty sure I ugly cried at the end haha!! And thank you for volunteering at your kids' school--teachers appreciate that so much!
ReplyDeleteGirl you rocked your May goals - truly amazing!! Hoping you have a wonderful weekend ahead! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to think of a book you could read them! We still do read alouds. The first one we did was Harry Potter - the whole series took us years! lol.
ReplyDeleteI am a geriatric millennial too. Ugh. I love Olivias recital costumes. If you get a bunch of suggestions on the books let me know. We love wading to the girls.
ReplyDeleteI am a geriatric millennial too. Ugh. Sad. I love Olivias recital costume. If you get a bunch of suggestions on the read allude, please share. We love reading to the girls still. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm a children's librarian, so I can give you a few read aloud recs :) : Percy Jackson series, A Wrinkle in Time, Holes, Because of Winn Dixie, and any Beverly Cleary.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I love how organized you are with all your goals! I need to be more like this! And if you need book recs, I just posted a review with 8 brand new releases for the summer and they are all FANTASTIC!! That Inspired Chick
ReplyDeleteOh that's great! Thanks for letting me know! I'll have to check out your post!
DeleteGreat job on your goals!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Joanne!
DeleteHave you made a post about what you use for meditation etc? Preferably free as there is so many! I need to start!
ReplyDeleteI use the Calm app. I started using the free version and it was so wonderful that I ended up buying a year subscription so I could see what else they offer. I loved the paid version so much that I bought a lifetime subscription last year and I it has been worth every penny. It's pricey, but just before Christmas every year they put it on sale for 50 or 60% off (or maybe more?? I can't remember) so I was able to get a great deal on it. I'll use it every single day forever so it was worth the money to me. That said, I know everyone is not willing to shell out that kind of money, but I highly recommend the free version of the app, too! It is really great!
DeleteGreat job on your goals!!
