July

The first day of July already! Here are my July goals:

*week in the life blog: week one
*daily meditation and yoga: week two
*implement twice a week cardio and twice a week strength training: week three
*submit 5 writing projects: week four

We will be celebrating five years of marriage at the end of the month (July 30!) My 20 year high school reunion happens to be the same day, but we are not attending. Maybe for 25. ha!

Other goals for summer:
*make and freeze pureed fruits and veggies for Laney for when I go back to school. She hasn't started solids yet but will start at the end of this month.
*practice some easy recipes and formulate a rotating list of easy weeknight suppers for fall
*continue the beginning stages of potty training with Owen. He peed on the potty two days straight and pooped "near' it yesterday. He would've made it in but he was standing up in front of it. whoops!
*O's first dentist appt. (July 11)
*Laney's 6 month appt. (July 26)
*Parent-child swimming lessons at Valencia Meadows Park Pool week of Aug. 8 for both kids and parents (have to register)
*organize master closet and office/studio for fall
*read up on discipline and how to get O. to stay in his bed at bedtime. (ideas/strategies welcome)

So excited to have welcomed baby Madden Arnoux Boggus this month on June 15 to my friend Cynthia in Florida. Expecting baby Jones and baby Leftridge later this month, and also little Tomas Daniel my Bolivian cousin Daniela's son.

On to the first project of July: a full week of "day in the life" posts. I plan to repeat the first week of October, January, and May in order to document the various seasons of our life. Of course, this week is atypical since it is a holiday weekend and I am off work. Let the fun begin!
