July is one of my favorite times of the year. I have the entire month of summer break! Ad of today, I have 17 days left until I return to work. I do have some fun plans for August, but I also have alot of task that need to be completed before I return to school. I have just started with massive food perseveration from the garden. This year has also been different due to Matt losing his job the last day of June.
Groceries- Budget = $975. $1090.77 Goal not met! I am working to stock the freezer for the school year. My thought is that everything will even out in a couple of months.
Auto/ Gas. Goal -= $600. Goal Met! We have spent $359.02 this month. Matt and I are both driving less. This does include our trip to Oak Island and also the trip to Atlanta.
Blogging- 15 post per month. 10 post this month. Trying to live in the moment and enjoy more than posting. I will be better in August.
Exercise- 7 days of exercise makes this the best month this year! We also have a YMCA membership through Lily so I am going to hope to continue this trend.
Summer Goals- These were established in June so this will be a good way to keep up with where I am at. I will say that we ended up cleaning and organizing both Matt’s building and the dinning room closet. Next up is painting the living room.
- Get 100 dinner meals and an assortment of other food items prepared for simple cook and eat meals. I currently have 52 dinner meal. Not sure I will hit 100 but I am going to be close.
- Organize the office and shred any paperwork that is no longer current and relevant. I need to go through and shred the items in the top drawer but otherwise this is almost complete.
- Redo our master spreadsheet. No progress
- Organize and delete pictures from my phone in order to free up space.- I may need to make this a yearly goal.
- Earn a $50 gift card from Fetch. I am almost 75% there! Slowly but surely this is working.
August here we come!
