November Goals

October flew by and I'm guessing the rest of the year will do the same.  The holidays have a way of speeding things up.  I'm hoping to take things s-l-o-w this month and ENJOY being THANKFUL and not try to rush the month away to get to Christmas.  My birthday is mid-month so that's always a highlight for me, we have fun travel plans and the weather is f.i.n.a.l.l.y. getting cooler in Mississippi.  Hallelujah!!  Let the fall festivities begin :)  

Recap of my October Goals:

October Goals:

1. Trim all the bushes in our front and back yard

2. Hang pictures in our master bedroom, bathroom & Olive's room

3. Eat a s'more {preferably from a fire pit in our backyard}.

4. Go to the pumpkin patch - get pumpkins, mums and take lots of pictures!

5. Read for fun - start reading Love Does and Gone with the Wind

6. Plan a few toddler activities with Olive at home - I've pinned lots of things on Pinterest so I just need to DO instead of PIN.

7. Invite a friend to have a play date/lunch date.

8. Reorganize my husband's closet

9. Try 2 new recipes for dinner

10. Get moving - go on walks, get out and about and explore our neighborhood

11. Use my DSLR camera more - I have it sitting out on my desk to remind myself to put down my cell phone and take some high quality pictures.

12. Find Olive some holiday jammies - Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas!

November Goals:

1. Put the finishing details on my family's Cousin Christmas gift exchange letters and mail them out this week.

2. Take down Halloween and decorate for Thanksgiving.  I do not decorate for Christmas BEFORE Thanksgiving.  Let's just enjoy one holiday at a time please :)

3. Keep my DSLR handy and snap a few, great pictures every day.

4. Make an apple pie and do a blog post about pie crust tips

5. Have a lunch date with my neighbor one Saturday

6. Continue my Christmas shopping - I start shopping months in advance so that I don't have to spend all of December shopping.  I just bought my wrapping paper this past weekend so I'm hoping to start wrapping as I buy the gifts.

7. Buy plastic holiday plates for Olive to use

8. Plan a play date with a friend

9. Spend my birthday money :)

10. Volunteer to bring treats to one of my mom's groups at church

11. Renew my Sams membership

12. I'd love to get a fire pit for our backyard, eat s'mores and get more pine straw for our landscaping.

It's going to be a GREAT month!!

What are your goals for the next few weeks??
