Middle
It’s officially the middle of the month…or even a little past. When are these months going to slow down? I feel like we just started the school year, yet it’s about to end. Here’s an update on my May Goals.
1.Get at least one or two things crossed off my 30 before 40 list ย
Let me just say that I am rocking this one. I completed 4 more items off my list: #6, #10, #20, and #26. Just click on the link above to read the list. I’ll wait.
OK. So, even though I’ve done good so far, I still have 16 items left to complete, and only 3 and a half months left. I need to kick it into high gear.
2.Get our summer plans organizedย
Still working on this. I have Mr. B signed up for some fun summer school classes (space camp, sport camp, and science,) and we have one road trip planned. I still need to work on the logistics for the road trip, and I also want to start planning my birthday trip for August. I was waiting until the March for Babies was over, so I need to start work on this.
3.Get some spring cleaning done
As you may remember from this POST, I got a head start on the spring cleaning in the twins’ room. I still need to finish my closet, and Mr. B’s closet. I did clean out the freezer and fridge when I prepped for the Whole30, so that was a win.
4.Get some writing doneย
This has not been happening. I’ve been so preoccupied with everything else that you see above, I have not been writing any posts ahead of time. I’m hoping that once I adjust to my new eating, my brain won’t be so foggy and my energy levels will go back up. More on that in Thursday’s update.

I like that you do a mid month check in. That is great for accountability. You are rocking your 30 by 40 list, girl! Way to go. Just do 5 a month (easier said than done. haha)
Shann Eva says
๐ Thank you!
Christine says
You go girl! You got this! I have got the summer activities planned for my son. Now I just need to plan a little summer getaway for the family. Thanks for the reminder.
Shann Eva says
Awesome…hope it’s somewhere fun!
Bethany Magnie says
Spring cleaning and writing is what’s on my list too, I feel like I can never do enough of both though. Happy Tuesday Shann ๐
Shann Eva says
Exactly!
Chelsea Ann says
Yay! Listing your goals is the way to go. I love the 30 before 40 concept.

Thank you!
Bernadette says
Still working on summer plans here. We usually do less during the summer just because there are so many others traveling during those months. Spring cleaning is done, thank goodness!
Shann Eva says
I’m jealous that you’re all done with your cleaning! Nice job!

LOVE crossing off things from my bucket list! This year… I am crossing SOOO many off my list this year and I am super pumped about it!!
Shann Eva says
That’s awesome!
Chrissy Z. says
Oh, the summer plans! Still lacking on those as wellโฆI should really get my act together soon!
Great idea to do a middle of the month recap! Hope your week was off to a wonderful start! xxx
Shann Eva says
Thank you!
Penny @ pennyspassion.blogspot says
What a great idea to do a mid-month update. Really brings into light what you still need to accomplish before the end of the month.
Shann Eva says
Yes! thank you!
Casey says

I’ve had a hard time getting some writing done too. The days are not long enough to get everything accomplished!!
JeeYoung says
I need to get on my spring cleaning too! So much junk piles up so quickly!!
CourtneyLynne Storms says
It’s crazy that it’s already the middle of May! I’ve been working the past few days on summer plans since summer definitely snuck up on me this year
Becky @Disney in your Day says
Aside from the writing ahead of time, it sounds like you are rocking your goals this month!
Shann Eva says
Thanks Becky!
Chelsea says
Sounds like so far you have been productive! I’m totally in spring cleaning mode and because of that have been neglecting my writing as well. Yesterday I completely cleaned out and organized my office. Today on the agenda- going to clean the bathroom and throw away the old shower curtains (they are super gross) and put in new ones. Will sort of be fun because I’m re-decorating? Tomorrow on the agenda- clean out the fridge! I’m scheduling myself one organizing task a day so I don’t feel overwhelmed ๐ Of course it doesn’t help that I’ll have the house cleaned and then my fiancรฉ will come home and mess it up. oh well; such is life! Best of luck with your goals for the rest of May!! xo
Shann Eva says
Ha! Boys are very messy. Hope your fiance doesn’t mess up too much ๐
Chel says
Good job on getting what looks like a lot accomplished!
LeighAnn Searle says
Congrats on completing four things on your list! Keep it up!

Marette Flora @ Floradise says
It’s so smart to check in with yourself in the middle of the month, too. I need to do this because I need to get back on track with my May goals.
Shann Eva says
Yes, it’s really helpful.
Mistle says
Your kick butt on your 30 before 40 list! I wanted to do a 30 before 30…yeah that didn’t happen because I turn 30 next week. I may try to do something with it still. I also can not believe that we are almost done with may. Where has this year gone. I did some Spring Cleaning over the weekend and it was a good thing. I’m slowly trying to do more. Good luck with accomplishing more of your goals this month!
Shann Eva says
Thank you so much Mistle!
Ana Ojha says

Shann Eva says
Thanks so much Ana!
Kusum @sveetesKapes says
Ugh I know the feeling everything else takes over and writing takes a hit. But it is awesome that you got so many things done from your list. I am jealous about your spring cleaning progress, I haven’t even started, haha. Looks like a fun trip is on the cards for the summer ๐

It sounds like you have been doing awesome keeping up with everything (except for writing.. which I have been struggling with as well!) Yikes, halfway through another month!

This is such great accountability. Way to speak it out loud! Good job Shann. How is the eating going?
Shann Eva says
It’s going OK. I’ve made it almost thru Day 8 ๐
KidCongeniality says
Ahhh! I love your 30 before 40 list! Love how you are determined to get them done! I have to sit down and write down my goals for summer. You are motivating me!
Shann Eva says
Awesome. Thank you!
Alison @ Puppies & Pretties says
Sounds like you have a great start to your goals this month!
Shann Eva says
Thank you!
Stephanie says
I actually pulled up my May goals last night and printed a copy to have on hand because this month is flying by and I don’t want to find myself out of time.
Shann Eva says
It really is!
Cynthia @craftoflaughter says
I keep wanting to get way ahead in my post writing and every month I say, drats! We’ll keep trying!
Shann Eva says
I know!
Bree Courtney says
Good for you! I was able to knock a couple things off my list today too! Yay for productiveness!
Shannon says
It is so hard to have the energy you need when you start eating different! I have been through that many times. It’s so worth it though because once you do get there, you’ll have so much more energy and feel so much more motivated. Sounds like you’re doing awesome on your goals! Where are you going for your road trip and birthday trip?
Shann Eva says
Thank you! I hope the energy comes back soon. We’re going to see family for our road trip, and then heading out west for my birthday ๐
Angie @chasingmyhalo.com says
Girl, you are rocking your list! I love it! I definitely want to do a similar thing for my 40th (which is not too far off). Good job on the eating too…the writing will come! Keep it up! xoxo
Shann Eva says
Thank you Angie!
Justine Y says
Oh my gosh, I hear ya on tiem fling by! I agree, how can May already be halfway over? I was just remarking to my husband tonight that July was only a couple months away, and then I was like, “what?!” How is that even possible! Congrats on y our 30 before 40 list!
Shann Eva says
I know! Thank you Justine.
