July was supposed to be my relaxing month where I could get caught up on the business and life, but somehow it was crammed! We went to Florida for our family vacation, unexpectedly went to Pittsburgh and Ohio for a couple of days to see family and stopped at Penn State on the way back to New York. I video chatted with Chelsy and Elle for my birthday and got to see little miss take 6 steps! I binge watched all 5 seasons of Downton Abbey, had a girls’ night in our little apartment with 17 girls from our church and had a picnic with our friends in the park. And somehow August promises to be even busier!

August is going to be about maintaining… maintaining the business and life so that when September comes around I don’t have a to catch up from August.

• Business Goals: On a positive note, I learned how to use Quickbooks and it’s finally all caught up… with A LOT of Ben’s help. I still haven’t made any website updates, but I’m really hoping to post some new images on the site this month.
• Blogging: August is planned, I just have to stay on schedule. For instance, this post was supposed to go up yesterday. I’m going to work on it!
• Image Organization: I still have a lot of pictures to edit for CKP, but all of my images are caught up! I just need to edit the second shooting images that I took.
• Staying Active: I did pretty good with eating healthy in July, even on vacation, but exercising did not happen as much as I’ve liked. I’m hoping to get into a rhythm again with exercising.
• Fun Goals: All I really want to do is enjoy this beautiful weather while it lasts so I’m hoping that means lots of sun and swimming!

Happy August!
