October Monthly Goals

Hello and a very happy Friday to all!!

October has finally arrived meaning Preptober is in full swing. But before we get into any of that we have some new monthly goals to go over.

As a little refresher my goals for September were….

Prepare things for Preptober ✓

Read four books ✓

Do two crafts ✓

Add four recipes to my cookbook ✓

Exercise an hour a day ✓

Organize photos ✓

Begin Christmas preparations ✓

Enjoy my anniversary ✓

I’m not sure if I’ve ever been able to say this but….I am so happy to say that I completed all of my goals for September which only makes me feel even better about October! So without further ado, the goals for this month are….

Autumn Quarter (September - November)

October Goals

Create a Preptober checklist

I live my life by lists and Preptober is no different. What better way to make sure you accomplish everything you need or want to than by making yourself a list to follow.

Complete Preptober Checklist

Obviously this was going to be another goal. There’s quite a bit on my checklist but there’s thirty-one days to get it all taken care of.

Open the Reaper page

For some time now this has been a secret goal of mine but for just as long I wasn’t sure if I would be returning to Reaper anytime soon. I’m so happy to announce that Reaper is my project for NaNoWriMo and just in time for November I’m revealing the Reaper page.

Read eight books

This month I’ll be doing a little double reading just so I don’t have to worry about meeting my reading quota in November. A lot of what I’ll be reading is going to be craft books to help me better prepare my outlines for NaNoWriMo.

Add eight recipes to my cookbook

Once again I’m doubling up on recipes that way I don’t have to worry about it in November. I’m also doubling up this month because I have to meal plan for November as well.

Do two crafts

I’ll probably end up doing a couple of bird houses but I am hoping to get to the craft store some time this month to pick up some more supplies so who knows.

Continue preparing for Christmas

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is growing closer and closer. I still need to buy presents and decorations but slowly things are beginning to come along.

Enjoy some autumn activities

I refuse to let myself become so wrapped up in work that I can’t enjoy myself. October is my favorite month and I plan on having some fun. Some things I plan on dragging my husband to do are ~ going to the pumpkin patch, the Renaissance fair, the fall fair, pumpkin carving, and so much more!

Looks like October is gonna be a fun one. I guess I better get cracking.

Until next week my lovelies.

~*~ Happy reading and writing to all and to all a good day ~*~
