I realized that I was a little overly ambitious on my goals for this past month so I am simplifying them. The only goals I have done really well at this year have been: reading books (I’m at 9), taking my meds everyday at a consistent time, and going and seeing different places in Georgia to love home more. However, I’m really proud of myself for those and I don’t want to minimize what a difference accomplishing those goals has already made for me. I never want to come to these monthly goal posts and feel like I haven’t done anything when I can still see my progress. Important as well, I never want someone else to come to these posts and feel like I do more or less than them. We’re all on our own time table.
I ended up spraining my neck this month which was kind of a “doh!” moment, but I’m doing a lot better now. I ended up doing some things that weren’t on this list too like joining a book club and a food co-op. Sometimes the things we don’t set as goals end up being just as meaningful and flexibility is important. 💛

I took pictures and wrote down the recipe for one meal I made, but then when I took photos of it, this meal was UGLY. Just being honest! I do have a recipe that I need to post though that is picky kid approved. If you like potatoes and cheese, then we’re good. - Post 2 travel posts
We were rained out on the occasion that we tried to see one place. The other place was prematurely closed when we visited. So, no travel posts, but man did we try! - Create an opt-in/freebie to share
Learn to really love Georgia
- Visit the Etowah Indian mounds with Devin as our monthly Georgia trip
We certainly tried, but when we got there it said that we needed to be finished by 4:30 and it was 4:15. The website just said the place closed at 5. While we may have done a hour of driving for it, it was so worth it to see the pretty rural areas around here. - Explore a downtown nearby by myself
We explored downtown Cartersville, Georgia when the Etowah Indian mounds didn’t work out.
