It's M's birthday month!!!!!!!! Even though he's not as big of a birthday person as I am, I'm super pumped about this month. We have some fun times planned, big things happening, and another mini vacation ahead. I'm linking up with Meghan, Lori, Meghan, and Whitney again to share what I've accomplished for the month. Here are my posts for January, February, March, April, May, June, and the year.
- Be happy. That's been tough this month. I try to focus on the positive, but sometimes I feel sad. And that's okay because it was a big loss.
- Relax more. I'm not quite sure if you'd call laying on the couch to watch the Olympics relaxing, but that's only because my heart always races as the athletes compete!
- Write. Still a contributing writer for HooplaHa and loving it, but also have some other part-time work on the horizon. I'll keep you posted.
- Read at least one book a month. I'm halfway through 3 different books, so that counts, right?
- Cook a new recipe once a month. (Spaghetti Squash Cakes, I promise that the recipe will be here soon!)
- No shop months. Um, not sure when I'm supposed to be doing this anymore. I've definitely been better though. Haven't been buying new clothes. Returned the Lilly dress I had bought too! (I am putting more money into my savings account though.)
- Give once a month. I donated money to some of the causes at the checkout in stores again.

July went by so fast! But...I am ready for fall!
Loss is never easy...sending you strength and only remember the special times.
I cannot believe that it is August already. Where did July go??!

You've been doing great! No spend days/months don't really work in our household...we do have a lot of no spend days, but we don't do them intentionally. For us it's more of a mentality shift. Happy bday to M!
Great goals -- spaghetti squash cakes sound interesting!
Yes! Watching the Olympics totally counts as relaxation - that's all I've been doing, too:)
Sounds like you are doing well! Having our savings where I want it relieves sooo much of my stress, so good for you!
relaxing and focusing on having "me" time is so hard sometimes- i literally have to schedule it into my day. but it is SO important... hope you are able to find some for yourself!
