More Unpacking and Organizing & July 2017 Goals

June has been a very busy month! I know at times I feel that I’ll always be in boxes and nothing will ever get unpacked at all. But one box at a time it will get done.

I know that my girls are finally out of school and we are all now on summer schedules! I also had a chance to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary! I got a night away and enjoyed it.

It was a great month! Very busy month but great!

My goals are divided between my blog, family and personal. This allows me to work on different areas and a lot of my goals are easy to check out but sometimes just seeing the goal helps me keep with the goal.

July 2017 Blog Goals

June was a busy crazy month. I did several projects that were requested. You can check those out on the most recent in my stores. A lot of them were requested ABC printables.
