I’m so glad it’s October. One more quarter left in this weird year. And it’s the best quarter!
I wanted to share how I did with 3rd Quarter goals (spoiler alert: not awesome) and share my plan for the next three months.
Q3 Goals
Finish Year 5 scrapbook- Read 3 books each month
- Drink 2 glasses of water per day
Visit dermatologist for hands/skinStart planning Halloween party&M’s first birthday!(I started a guest list at least…)Get the pups groomed(I made appointments for October!)
I did very MEH on these goals. I definitely didn’t drink two glasses of water a day (I know, I know…) and I didn’t read three books a month. I scheduled the dog grooming so I’m counting that one as a win. Lol
Q4 Goals
I’m incorporating my 101 in 1001 list into my goals so I actively work on them…
- Vote
- Hike with Bristol
- Hang HP Prints
- Take 2 yoga classes
- Start Year 6 scrapbook
- Host Halloween Party
- Throw M a 1st Birthday party!!
- Make 2 cookbook recipes
- Get the pups groomed
- Read 3 books each month
- Drink 2 glasses of water per day
That seems like a good start.
Per usual, many of these things are going to happen with or without making the list… but it’ll feel good to cross them off 😉
What are your plans for the next few months?

I am so bad about actually utilizing the cookbooks I have. I think setting a goal to make a certain amount of recipes from them is a great idea. I might do one a week for the month of October! That sounds super lofty. Hahah. Cheers to the best quarter of the year!

I do love crossing things off my list, so I definitely add things that will happen for sure. haha I hope you have a great Halloween party, and 1st birthday for M. Crazy it’s almost been a year!! HOW?! I’m sure you’re thinking the same thing.
Good luck with all of your goals. I’m trying to work on my novel more; I need to start exercising more and eating better (COVID has me all messed up with that – and then getting sick, etc.).

Crossing things off is the best.
I’m so conflicted over the parties. Is it safe? Are we being irresponsible? I don’t know. I need to put some thought into it. Sigh.
Good luck with your novel!! Give yourself some grace with food 😉
