Hello August.
Friday, August 3, 2012 at 10:14AM Oh hello there August, gosh you sneaked up on us ever so quickly!!
We're three days into August. And that my friends, is a wonderful thing. Coz August ROCKS!
Oh hello lovely August sky.And why am I looking forward to August so much?.....
For starters, it's the last month of winter. A big cheers to that!
It's also a month full of special birthdays!! This month we'll be celebrating both mine & my best friend's 30th Birthdays! My sister-in-law Michelle is also an August baby! We have 2 kid's birthday parties to attend! My parents arrive back home after 8 weeks in the USA. AND.....we're heading away up the coast next weekend for a few nights away....PLUS....drumroll......My little family & I are heading away at the end of the month for a week in paradise! My amazing husband has organised & fully booked a week of relaxation & family fun in the glorious Whitsundays for my big 3-Oh Birthday!!!! Lucky I say! Lucky & so appreciative!!!!
This August truly is gonna ROCK!! I can't wait!
And although it's going to be a busy one, I'm also making an effort to tune down the pace in other areas. I'm declaring August as 'calm month' :) I'm trying to be more organised, so that I don't feel rushed or stressed. I'm saying no to certain things & some jobs so I'm not overwhelmed with gigantic to-do lists. I'm changing priorities, and making decisions. I'm allowing myself some time to sit & relax....watch TV every now & then....actually finish the 2 books I'm currently reading.....have a bath.....blog & write.....sip coffee in the sun! I'm going to do these things and not feel guilty. I'm sick of feeling too busy, too rushed, and always guilty! I've returned to a fitness class {Mum n Bub class} and loving it! I'm making sure I'm eating during the day & attempting healthier options! I'm going to stop stressing about how fast this year is going & that my baby is almost 1. And in turn for making these changes this month, I hope to enjoy it more....and more importantly be more present within each moment. Actually BE with my family, and not so distracted.
Spring is just around the corner....I can feel it :)See, I told you. August is going to be FABULOUS!!!
Happy August everyone!
Coffee in the sun. Enjoying the little things!
August, calm, getting away, making changes, month, my life, spring, travel, winter in {My Life}

YAY to a Whitsundays holiday (and yay to Chris for organising it for you!) How exciting and how lovely to have something so great to look forward to. August sounds like it will definitely be a busy one for you. I love that you're declaring it 'calm month' - I know what you mean about constantly feeling disorganised, busy etc. :)
Amanda, yes Chris definitely won himself some big bonus points for organizing that :)))) I'm a lucky lady :) x
