June Goals

We made some major headway on the baby prep to-do list this weekend (the car seat is installed!), and I instantly felt so much more excited for both the baby’s arrival and summertime in DC! It’s almost like there’s a direct incremental correlation between completing important baby to-dos and my stress level. This blog has been really quiet as we’ve been traveling, nesting, and working on some very exciting other things behind the scenes, but I feel like this weekend was a major turning point into our laid-back summer. I’m officially on the no-fly list, so we’re not going anywhere for the foreseeable future. Our major plans are to spend tons of time outside, finish preparing well for the baby, and enjoy all that DC has to offer in our last couple of weeks (!) before we’re parents.

Here’s What’s on My June Powersheets:

  1. Enjoy my Last Trip to Missouri before Becoming a Mom! I’ve technically already done this, and it was a great trip. But it happened in June, so I’m counting it!
  2. Make DC Summer Fun Bucket List. I have so many fun summer things I want us to do that they’re going to need their own list.
  3. Plant Balcony Garden and Decorate Outdoor Lanterns. Oy. This has been on my goals since April I think! Maybe we can squeeze this in in the next couple of weeks since we’re home now. I’ve already “summerized” our apartment (which is where I seasonally change up small decor items) inside, but the balcony needs some love.
  4. Finish Stocking Up on Baby Necessities and Put Everything Away in Nursery! This could also just say, “finish nursery.” 🙂
  5. Host Cookouts on the Rooftop. We’ve already done this too! Stay tuned tomorrow for photos.
  6. Pack Hospital Bags and Take Childbirth Class. Will has already packed his bag, and I have a very detailed packing list. It just needs to go into the bag itself! We’ve also taken a couple classes at the hospital already, but the last one is on childbirth itself!
  7. Clean out Gmail. It’s time. It’s past time. I need to just sit down with some good music and crank through my very unruly inbox.
  8. Back up All Photos to Dropbox and Smugmug. I’ve been living dangerously with my digital life here too: our personal photos need to be backed up! Hoping to catch up on this through June.

May Goals Update:

  1. Enjoy Sanibel Island! This was the best. Lots of posts coming soon. 
  2. Visit with Old Friends in Charlottesville and DC. We had a wonderful evening!! See it here. 
  3. Host a Successful Georgetown Shop-Around. This was also a huge success! More here. 
  4. Celebrate Baby Girl with DC friends. This was perfect! (Gosh all these sound the same this month, haha.) 
  5. Finish Third Trimester To-Do List. I feel really good that our to-dos are on the list, and we are checking it off! I will try to share the third trimester to-dos soon. 
  6. Spend time with Family in Emerald Isle. We had a great time in NC with family, and they hosted the sweetest baby shower for us. There was ice cream, the beach, and fireworks, so it was a beautiful kick-off to summer. 
  7. Host a Bachelorette Viewing Party. This hasn’t happened yet, because we’ve been busy on Monday nights, but as the season gets better I may get around to it! 
  8. Finish Setting Up all Furniture in the Nursery. This is the biggest win on this list! I promise a nursery reveal soon! 

One more very important note!

It’s time to prep for mid-year goals (July 1st is just as good as January 1st!), and Powersheets are on sale for $25!! Get them here, and let’s seize the second half of 2017 together!
