August is sort of a sad month. I have to end my summer break and head back to work. This year we decided to add some last-minute fun and headed to Florida to visit Haley and David for a 5-day trip. It was just what we needed!\u00a0 September is a month of change with football and pool closing and the ending of the summer garden.<\/p>\n
Groceries- Budget = $975.\u00a0 \u00a0$775.74\u00a0 \u00a0Goal met! My freezers are full! We have lots and lots of prepared food!\u00a0 \u00a0I am going to change this goal for September until December to $475 a month to help reduce our overall debit. I will also be buying only items we need but buying a re-stocking amount.<\/p>\n
Auto\/ Gas. Goal -= $600.\u00a0 Goal not Met!\u00a0 We have spent $651.19 this month. This was mainly our trip to Florida. No regrets. I am expecting that this amount be reduced by half to $300 a month with Matt’s driving cut down my more than half. However, I will not change the official goal until December.<\/p>\n
Blogging- 15 post per month.\u00a0 12 post this month.\u00a0 Trying to live in the moment and enjoy more than posting. I am better in August but need to step up my game!<\/p>\n
Exercise-\u00a0 5 days of exercise makes this an ok month.\u00a0 I am going to try and continue walking one day a week.<\/p>\n
Summer Goals- These were established in June so this will be a good way to keep up with where I am at.\u00a0 I will say that we ended up cleaning and organizing both Matt\u2019s building and the dinning room closet.\u00a0 I did not meet all these goals but I am proud of what I accomplished!<\/p>\n
I have a few things on my to do list for September but will share as they happen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
