September Goals


Okay so this might be more of a to-do list but there's also a few goals in there. I can't believe it's September already. This year has been flying by quickly, probably because I've been keeping myself very busy on the weekends and the work week is usually packed to the brim.

1. Celebrate Lola's 1st birthday this week. Oh gosh, she's turning one and deserves a little fun tonight before we leave for the long weekend.

2. Tour New Orleans for Labor Day weekend (K's birthday trip) and try all the food. Some places on our list are Coop's Place, Acme Oyster House, Mr B's and a few others. I'm still looking around for a good brunch spot for Sunday. 

3. Attend Helene's free webinar to learn ways to monetize your blog which was last night. (DONE)

4. Get started on the 17-module online photography class that I just signed up for to become a certified photographer. I'm not sure I'll be able to complete it in one month so my goal is to be done and certified by the end of October. 

5. Pack more healthy lunches and fruits for breakfast. Eat out less. Spend less. 

6. Finally make it out to Wekiva Island one weekend. 


7. Pressure wash our house and driveway. Well, pay someone to do it because I don't own a pressure washer and have no desire to get on a ladder or roof.

8. Go shopping at Ikea for a new living room rug and outdoor walkway lights. I've had my eye on shag rugs like this grey one but I'm not sure how well they hold up. 

9. Weekend trip to Ft Lauderdale to visit a friend and her kids who all just moved to Florida from Trinidad. 

10. Celebrate with friends for a joint bachelor/bachelorette party at a local resort's lazy river pool.

    Sounds like a fun month! Happy Birthday to your little girl. I did several posts on New Orleans in August. Commander's Palace is a great brunch spot. I also recommend The Rum House on Magazine. Best tacos and margaritas. Luke is another great brunch spot in the CBD (it is a John Besh restaurant). Have an awesome trip! I love New Orleans.

    I'm with you, I seriously can't wait for all of the food of New Orleans! I think that we're pretty much planning on eating brunch everywhere while we're there and I can't wait!
    The photography course sounds like so much fun! I've been meaning to take a class, but it always manages to get pushed back.
