3: WHAT I’M LOVING:
+ The RAIN!  We finally got some rain this morning!  We were desperate!  Fingers crossed, more will come tomorrow.
+ a fresh start!  Back to school is like January 1 to me.  I love the new routines & fresh schedules.  it feels like an open slate!

   4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:
Tons of time with friends.  We really soaked up so much sunshine with friends this summer.  The kids aren't going to know what to do when they don't see their friends 5+ nights a week!  It really was a magical summer.  So many late nights outside playing baseball, football, riding bikes, etc.

5: WHAT I’M DREADING:
My summer workout class ends Friday. :(
My friend host a free, outdoor workout class at her house M/W/F in the summer.

6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:
Consistency!
+ Reading the bible to the kids nightly {their request}
+ Getting up to work out each morning {sets the tone for my whole day!}
+ Meal planning, early bedtimes, blogging, you name it!

7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:
FALL!!!  I just finished the Fall Bucket List and I'm so dang excited!!
My newest purchase! {$40 off right now!}
& our trip to Nashville next weekend!

8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:
I've been watching Floor is Lava and Hoarders with the kids.
I'm thinking about Ted Lasso as my next 'before bed' show.
Favorite books I've read this month Troubles in Paradise, The Wives, Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First, Essentialism, To Tell You The Truth, The Wife Upstairs, The Wrong Family, The Stranger in the Mirror, & Dear Wife.

9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:
Jordyn has Fancy Like on repeat.  She's even changed her Alexa to wake her up with that song...haha!

10: WHAT I’M WEARING:
My favorite jeans {$35!!!} with all the tops from the Nordstrom sale.
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
& my new shoes

11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:
Maybe an outdoor movie Friday night.  Hopefully a pool day on Saturday {it's still HOT here!}  Adam's band plays at the winery Saturday evening.  Sunday is still up in the air except for church.  Possibly Figure8 races with friends.

12: WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:
+ Nashville with Adam
+ A college football game with great friends
+ A hike at Ledges state park with the kids
+ A trip to the apple orchard with the family
+ Watching Cullyn's first Flag Football season

WHAT ELSE IS NEW:
Adam has been killing it at work lately {the downside of that is lots of solo activities with the kids}
I'm feeling the urge to PURGE again -- no closet is safe right now!
The kids started back to school and we LOVE both of their teachers!
