Project Life - September

A fairly short spread this month. It was a quiet one as we found our routine again. There are lots of pictures of our babies.

I used the seafoam kit again and tied in the beige theme. There are also some cafting photos in there.

Short but sweet this time.

Goals Review

Wow! This month flew by. Time to see how those goals went.

• Complete July's (and now August's) Project Life - done!
• 3 of my 30 things list - actually managed one in August but still want to do three this month - knocked two more off the list which means I'm officially half way!
• Complete a baby sewing project - did three of these, watch out for the updates.
• Take some family time out - did this. This month I need to plan a christening. Godparents found...
• Build back up to 10,000 steps on the pedometer - would you believe, my pedometer packed in on day two and not just the battery. I bought a new one and have been doing well but not up to 10,000 yet.

Currently...

...enjoying maternity leave.
...feeling grateful for my health and family.
...catching up with good friends.
...filling up on delicious seasonal produce (hello pumpkin soup).
...getting the creative urge back.
...being addicted to One Tree Hill and Breaking Bad boxsets.
...stepping things up with the pedometer.
...planning big things for the next six months.
...snuggling with the babies.

• Complete a baby sewing project
• Take some family time out - did this. This month I need to plan a christening.
