We have had a fabulous few weeks, we spent some time up on the Sunshine Coast over the kid’s school holidays, then just pottered around the house getting a few things ticked off my to-do list. We’ve had a Japanese exchange student stay with us for the past 10 days, we had an absolute ball showing her around the Gold Coast. It’s rare to be a tourist where we live, it was great fun taking her around our paradise! This was a very warm winters day at Currumbin Beach.
Now lovely readers, I have been sharing with you each month my goals, but very few are sharing what they want to accomplish back…. I know you are loving these posts as you are downloading the page. I love hearing from you, please share with me what you are hoping to accomplish this month….. I’m interested what’s happening in your world too!!
Accountability – July to-do list
I managed to achieve all I wanted during July!
- relax – I absolutely did this well, I had a digital detox which made it really easy to switch off and just chill. I will be running a digital detox challenge in a few weeks, stay tuned.
- take the kids out of the house – check! Over the holidays as I said we went to the Sunshine Coast, we also caught up with friends, picnics in the park and lots of shopping ventures
- finish off my June list – check! I have 85% finished my pantry, can’t wait to share it with you and I finally purchased a light for my dining table. I ended up getting the Cup Pendant Light set from Domayne, it had a wide base which was big enough to reach the off centre beam in the ceiling and still be able to fall into the centre of the room.
My August to-do list
- plant some more herbs in my vegetable garden, so far I have a lemon tree and basil.
- exercise more
- a few work projects I want to make a start on.

I love this post. I love getting organized , especially in August.
I have just not been getting time to get to the gym (twice a week for 30 mins at best, some weeks not at all) bc my hubby and I work opposite hours and my kids are little.
Yesterday I got out Just Dance on the Wii and danced for 30 mins.
So much fun and it was free. Going to try to do it everyday and might quit my gym membership if I’m consistent!
ooh Bri that sounds like such a fun idea!!!
My August goals are
*start on planning and making the vegetable and herb garden. Buy supplies and research what to plant and where
*make a big effort to meal plan and use up the fruit and veg and pantry items first before buying new stuff. Stop wastage and reduce money on groceries.
*to exercise on a regular basis and use what we have at home. Make it a daily routine.
what veg are you wanting to plan Amy? I need to add more herbs to mine too. Good luck with your goals this month 🙂
I’m feeling overwhelmed with everything it seems at the moment.
My goal for August is to make a list and a plan for it all.
Hi Leah.am also feeling overwhelmed. love this site I try to do everything at once.now am trying to break things into smaller jobs and celebrate doing at least one thing a day.good luck.
making a start is a great start Alison, one step at a time, great work 🙂
making a list is a great start Lean, how are you going so far?
Awesome post! Thanks, Katrina. Keep up the good work. 🙂
I haven’t been able to get around to painting the house, it’s been on my list for a very long time! This month my goal is to paint my bathroom. My study is also a disaster zone so have planned to tackle one pile of papers to sort through.
painting is a big job, you have to be in the right frame of mind for it. I found once I got going you get on a roll (pardon the pun) and get it done. Hope you find time soon for it 🙂
Love your organising tips. Trying to get more organise. I plan to start a few projects. I definitely want to try planning my meals and growing vegetables and herbs in pots.
I’ve been doing my research on basil and apparently it grows better in pots. Good luck with your meal planning 😉
Great tips for organisation! Thanks!
I loved your words and tips.. thanks a lot.
