I know there are a lot of blogs out there that do some fun
posts on Friday and since I’ve been a little MIA lately, I thought I would go
ahead and join the Friday Fun Bandwagon.
I’m starting this out this week because tomorrow is the first day of
August, which is one of my favorite months. And here are a few reasons why:
1. My Birthday! Yep,
that’s right. I kind of have a love/hate
relationship with my birthday. I don’t
mind getting older, but for many years I had really bad birthdays (grandma had
a heart attack and stroke on my 17th and then there was the year
that my mom, husband, and son forgot – and no, it wasn’t a joke). However, I’ve still always looked forward to
my birthday. Isn’t there just something
fun about being silly and enjoying the day God placed you on this Earth?
2. School
supplies. I’m SUCH a weirdo, but there
is just an amazing joy that comes from shopping for school supplies. When I was in school, I loved it, too. I didn’t care about starting school, but I
loved the school supply shopping (more so than clothes shopping). Now that we homeschool, it’s even better
because I get to make my own school supply list! And if I happen to add a couple fun binders
and pens that end up being too girly for my son to use, then I guess I’ll take
them off his hands.
3. Weather. Yes, August is still hot. And humid.
And miserable. But there is hope
in August, right? You know that after
August comes September then October. The
end of the oppressive heat and humidity is in sight. It’s just around the corner. Don’t believe me? Look at all the pretty sweaters that are now
in stores.
4. Back to School
Planning. Now, this isn’t to be confused
with school supplies although, there is a bit of overlap here. Being the nerd that I am, I love sitting down
with my calendar and planning out our school year. Where are the 3-day vacations and weeklong
breaks? What are we going to study first
semester and what will wait until the spring?
This is my jam, y’all. I’m a
planner and I love it. It is hard and
takes a lot of work, but it is oh, so rewarding.
5. For The Love. Yes!
It is finally here. The book that
I have been gushing over and quoting to all that would listen, yeah, it comes
out this month. 18 Aug, to be exact (one
week after my birthday!). Seriously,
this is book is awesome. It melds the
idea of being a Kingdom people with lots of humor and presents it in a real
way. The good news is that you don’t
have to wait until August to buy it. You
can preorder it here now!
This concludes this week’s faves. What are some of the things that you are
excited about this week?
