Can you believe it is the end of July already? Where has the year gone? While the year is quickly passing us by, I hope that y’all are out there living it. We will be headed back home soon and I am excited for that but I am also very nervous. I had some personal Come to Jesus moments while I was away and I know that there are things that I need and want to change.
I plan to do that as I return home but it is always easier said than done. I have far too much negativity in my life from outside sources. That is something I am going to change. I can’t have that as it brings me down. I don’t need someone else’s issues anymore. I have more than enough of my own. My problem is that I struggle to tell someone they are being negative or that I don’t want to hear that. Usually it is someone I close to. I have no problem telling strangers they are too much. I guess because I will never see them again.
Goodbye Vacation
This vacation was everything that I needed it to be. Some time with the kids without a lot of other worries hanging over my shoulders. We just took the time to enjoy ourselves knowing that any issues would be there when we got home. I didn’t spend hours on the computer or phone every day. I was present and there for every little moment. I had one night out without the kids and then we visited some amazing places. It was one of the best vacations we have had in a while.
Shows & Activities
Honestly, this month I really haven’t watched a whole lot of anything new. I did see the new Jurassic Park and I will say that I am not sure how to feel about it. I liked it but I felt like they were trying so hard to connect all of the movies together that I struggled at times with it.
3 Favorite Blog Posts From the Month
- We had a night out in Greenville that I will never forget. It was so much fun and I know now that there is so much more to do and see there.
- Learning to feel better about yourself is so important. It is something that I spent years struggling with and still o on occasion.
- Visiting the cancer center was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. It was scary but made me appreciate life a little more every day.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

My month is ending with me knowing I didn’t feel the best in the world and aching all over at times and actually getting cold a few times. Me getting cold is unheard of while going thru menopause, so I took my temperature and I do have fever. Probably have gotten covid from my Mother. I will do a test in the morning to determine.
I have actually have a decent month except for the week I had my sister mad at me. Everything is better between us and I’m in a pretty good place right now.
This month has been full of visits from people that I haven’t seen in the very long time. First my family and then a family friend. It is now ending with planning a baby shower that will be happening in about a month.
I’ve been annoyed by the heat this month but looking forward to fall. My Navy sailor son is visiting next week so that will be exciting.
It has been a very wet July here I think we went from April showers to July showers. Spent some wonderful time with the grandchildren this month. Had a wonderful time at our family POWOW a few weeks ago its always nice to see the family. It was a great month to relax and do some reading and relaxing.
I am so glad that your enjoyed your vacations and I certainly understand about all the negativity, hard to get passed it when it’s coming from every direction! My month was okay, I guess, still have lots of family having health issues and if something can go wrong it does so I have to try to get everyone past that but it makes things an uphill battle. Anyway, here’s hoping everyone has a wonderful August! Have a glorious weekend!
was busy
My month was a super busy one lots of appointments and some let downs. I have been super busy trying to keep my family and pets cool in this heat wave were are in 112 degrees here and lot of wildfires around us. We are currently in a state of emergency so I am praying that the weather cools down and I mean real quick. I pray that August is a better month.
My month started with my daughter and son in law getting covid & ended with my little Granddaughter’s Uncle getting killed in a really bad road crash. It’s been a bad month.
My month was very busy and hot!!!
This month, a lot of stressors going on.
I am working with them.
Its been crazy around here. Car trouble, kids broke the tv rough housing, car a/c went out, having to buy a new-to-us truck, hubby applying for a new job, etc! We are getting ready to start homeschooling again in a week too. I’m ready for things to slow down!
It’s been a busy and fun month. Lots of camping, live music and fun family time. Hoping that August will be just as good.
i suddenly became a single mom and i’m starting my life over and I’m more than a little scared.
I’ve been avoiding the terrible heat outside! July is the worst where I live. I’ve been crafting and playing games online. I’ve been doing a bit of reorganizing too, so that I can get to my Halloween and Christmas decor easier when the holidays get here.
July was a bit of a blur because I was dealing with COVID 🙁 Honestly Can’t remember much beyond that! Ready for a new month!
My month has been spent at the pool with my daughter, cleaning out the basement and working.
It’s been a busy month. Lots of trips to the lake and bridal shower party planning.
worked all month. Then took one day last week and went to Oshawa with my family for the day.
I did a lot of shopping in July. Nothing like spending money to feel better. I was kind of smart tho, mostly cash vs credit
My daughter and I spent a few days at Disney and we took our yearly family vacation to the beach. Now we are just getting ready for school to start next week!
Rough month as I discovered I had a huge unexpected unpaid bill that took up all my savings. Work has been decent and personal life has been ok, so overall financially it was awful and everything else was just alright.
I can’t believe July is over. It has been busy and productive.
July was a fun filled month we spent alot of time at camp and out on the water on the boat.
July was a very trying month, seems like there was one problem after another. We had everything from health issues to car trouble.
Pretty good month other than financial stress
My month in review has been full of playing with granddaughters and taking care of my mom. I don’t have too much to complain about and I have lots to appreciate.
July was a boring month for us. We stuck close to home, but managed to get in a beach trip and plenty of swimming. August is already proving to be much more exciting and busy.
Family. August is our family month. At least it’s a little more family than normal. We have a huge family reunion at our house the first Saturday in August. At least 100 people and more fun than we can handle. Laughter, stories, music, games, food, beverage, and Zoom’s to include those who couldn’t make it home. It’s a raving good time and we all look forward to the next one as soon as the current one has ended!!
I’ve been doing some back-to-school shopping.
It’s been a good month so far my 3 month old is growing, our son turned 7 and he started the 2nd grade
My month has had so many highs and lows.. Great moments and horrible ones.
My month has been amazing. My daughter and my 2 baby granddaughters came for a visit. We had so much fun. We played in the pool and went on adventures.
My month in review: whizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Where the heck did it go?
I had a busy month that just seemed to fly by. It was filled with activity, visitors, and family get togethers. The weather was beautiful as well so I spent a lot of the time enjoying that as well.
We have been very busy moving all month. Our house sale closed today so now we will be looking for a new one.
Mostly a quiet month. Swimming 2 or 3 times a week and my new hip is doing well.
Thanks for the contest.
we got covid but still managed to hike in yellowstone
My month has been slow due to the hot weather and afternoon thunderstorms. I haven’t really done much due to a couple of colds. Oh well, there is always hope for next month.
