It’s the first Friday of the month and not only is it time for Friday Cocktails but it also time to talk about our monthly goals. This month I am not missing a single Friday with these posts for y’all. I know how much you enjoy them and I do as well.
This week has been a pretty full one with doctor’s appointments, my birthday on Monday, and a few other things. Add in that today is grocery day and I am a busy gal. So lets jump right into all of it.
SEPTEMBER GOALS
This is something a little new to the Friday Cocktails but I felt like I needed to share my goals with y’all. Like maybe by sharing them I will be held a little more. So for this month I would to achieve the following:
- Begin going through old posts as I have updated some categories and need to get them changed.
- Prep the holiday posts and themes for y’all
- Get ahead on some articles that can be prewritten
- Stay on track with my new healthcare plan –I struggled a few days this month
5 FINDS THIS WEEK
This week we are all about the keto diet I am on. I am sharing with you some items that I have tried and enjoy. You can click any of the images to go to the items on Amazon. I love shopping on Amazon and you can find all of the items on my various lists here. I add to them all the time so be sure to check often.
I have found that I enjoy this granola more than I thought I would. Many of these Keto foods taste odd to me. I am learning to liking them more but it is a learning curve. This tastes good though and I can eat it for breakfast or as a small snack.
I am still struggling with not having any sweets. This are really low in carbs and sugar which means I can have a few. This helps curb my sweet craving without leaving full of regret. Some days I just need a little treat.
I am still working to understand fat bombs and what they are. To me they are a snack but I do know they serve a purpose. These are snacks for me as well. I know that snacking is bad but due to my insulin levels being all over the place I occasionally need a little snack.
I love bread and it is a problem for me which I know. These breads allow me to have a sandwich occasionally without feeling guilty. One thing i have learned is that guilt is a huge part of my dieting. I know it shouldn’t be but right now that is what happens.
I don’t always know what foods are allowed or not allowed. That is why I have this cheat sheet on my fridge. I also carry it with me to the grocery store. I can quickly look at what is allowed and what is not. I can’t tell you how helpful this has been.

There is something about June that always feels a little softer to me. Maybe it is the way the mornings stretch out a bit longer. Maybe it is the sunlight pouring through the windows before most of us are fully awake. Or maybe it is simply the feeling that summer is finally settling in, telling us all to slow down just a little. After the rush of spring, June arrives almost like a gentle exhale. And honestly? I think many of us need that. The… - Pull Up a Chair: May 29, 2026
Well friends, we officially made it to the last Friday in May, and honestly, I feel like this month packed at least three separate years into it somehow. May always starts out feeling fresh and hopeful, and then somewhere around the middle of the month everything speeds up all at once. School activities, graduations, Memorial Day plans, endless errands, and suddenly everyone is standing in the grocery store wondering how summer managed to sneak up on us again. Meanwhile, here in Georgia, summer did not…
