October 2016 Goals, with a September Recap

October 5, 2016 By Shann 25 Comments

October 2016 Goals

Hello October! I know I’m a few days late setting my October 2016 goals, but this month has been jam-packed already. We started off the month celebrating a good friend’s birthday, had a family movie date the following day, and then celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary on the 3rd. Plus, there were some very special Homecomings on Micro Preemie Monday.

So far, October has been a really fun month!

We have a lot more planned, but first let me review what happened with my September Goals.

September 2016

In case you missed this post, here is what I was trying to accomplish:

  • Make good progress in Potty Training    We’re still going strong. Both boys are peeing in the potty…or I should say AT the potty, since they are standing. They even went when they were in childcare at the gym! Number 2 is only going so-so. Little P is actually doing great. Big C? Not so much. I won’t go into details, but we have lost a few pairs of undies.
  • Get a good morning routine for Preschool and 1st Grade    We were doing great, and then the bus started coming about 5 minutes earlier. It only took one day of running to the bus to get us back into gear.
  • Enjoy my 40th Birthday!!!   DONE!!!!
  • Get back to my gym routine  YES! Last week I even added an extra day. I’m feeling pretty good.
  • Schedule Appointments   Finally! I scheduled an eye appointment and a dermatologist appointment for myself. I also took all three boys to the dentist, and had a dental appointment myself. The twins are scheduled to have a check with a urologist. I do need to get everyone in for a flu shot, and Mr. B’s 7-year-old wellness check up this month.
  • Spend time with Family  Yes! We went with my parents and brother’s family to dinner for our birthday. My brother and sister-in-law also came out for drinks after, so that was fun. All the cousins got to hang out again when their elementary school had an ice cream social.

I think September went pretty well. I’m hoping to make October even better.

October 2016 Goals, How to keep accountable

Goals for October

With getting back to school, starting work, and everything else going on, I feel like I’ve been neglecting the blog and my writing a little. I’m going to add a few blog goals, along with some personal goals this month.

Blog Goals

  • Write a few posts ahead of time
  • Update some old pictures with Pinterest friendly images
  • Add a tab/page so that people can submit their micro preemie stories directly on the blog
  • Post to Instagram at least 4 times a week and gain more followers (If you’d like to help with this one, you can follow me HERE)
  • Share my final results of my 30 before 40 list

Personal Goals

  • Plan and execute a fabulous birthday party for Mr. B
  • Have a family day at the pumpkin patch
  • Raise awareness and money at the Drive For Babies (a fundraiser put on by the March of Dimes)
  • Sell and donate lots of clothes from my closet that don’t fit anymore
  • Get everyone a flu shot
  • Take Mr. B to his wellness visit
  • Keep working out at least 3 times a week, if not more
  • Have a Happy Halloween!

I have a lot to get done this month, but I know it will alleviate stress in the long run. Writing these goals on the blog each month really helps me with my accountability, so thank you for reading and ultimately helping me achieve them!

Did you set any October 2016 goals? Do you like writing out your goals?

    Hey! Twin mom here too! I never think to make monthly goals. I don’t know why I always make them longer term.. maybe the procrastinator in me. 😉

    I need to write down monthly goals as well! This is such a great idea. Maybe I would get more things done.

    When you said you were late for writing your October goals I thought what is she talking about? It’s not October yet. I can’t believe October is here! Sounds like you have transitioned nicely into the fall routine. I have an ever growing pile of clothes waiting for me to get organized and get them donated. Thanks for the reminder.

    Great job on your goals last month!! I’m in the process of scheduling a few appointments myself. I really want to go to a pumpkin patch this month. I may try to go this weekend if possible. I also hope to grow my instagram followers and plan posts ahead of time. We got this!!!

    Good for you, getting all those goals! I don’t set goals for small periods of time, it just stresses me out. I do them for larger chunks of time, like 6 months to a year 🙂

    Sounds like you had a very happy and jampacked September with lots to celebrate 🙂 that’s my goal one of these days, too, to start getting ahead of blog posts and begin scheduling out. Makes life so much easier! Love all you are doing for march of dimes and preemie babies <3

    Congrats on a great September! It’s only been October for a few days, but it has been a VERY busy few days!!! And I’m with you on Instagram. I’ll do good for a while, and then I’ll miss a whole week. Hello blogger’s guilt!

    I so agree on needing to write some posts ahead of time. I’m always so busy with everything else that I never seem to have time to get that done. A big goal of mine is to get my business off the ground… not the blog but a different one. I filed for my LLC and now I’m hoping to start making enough money to be home. Wish me luck? Good luck to you as well. Hope you smash all your goals this month!

    Man, I remember as a child when the bus came early. I never told my mom, but we would run to the other stop. Luckily, our school bus had a circle type route so if you were fast enough, you wouldn’t miss it. I’m going to catch up on your goal list and follow along because my morning routine needs help.
