Wednesday Wants & August Goals


About a month ago I shared a post about things I’d been saving in my phone as “to buy later” items. Here’s this month’s list!


Dagne Dover Work Bag || I really like all the compartments of the Dagne Dover bags and think they are made for the woman who needs to carry everything with her at all times. 


Lightweight Quilted Jacket || Although I really can’t think about Fall clothing since we are having pretty perfect weather here right now, I do need to update my lightweight quilted jacket and I really like this one from Amazon. It comes in a ton of different colors and styles. 


Fridge magnets for Sophia || Sophia is all over the place, especially loving the kitchen so I wanted to get some magnets for the fridge to occupy her and that were also somewhat educational. These magnets from Leap Frog have more than 2500 really great reviews!


Kate Spade Wristlet || I have been looking for a wristlet to wear while out with Sophia and for quick errands for what feels like months and haven’t found anything that can fit everything I need – slim wallet, keys, phone and lip gloss. Finally after watching a video and reading a few reviews it looks like this one will be the winner!


Pout Pout Fish Books ||  I picked up the original pout pout fish book a couple weeks ago and honestly, I read it almost every night to Sophia because I absolutely love it and think it’s adorable. There are a ton in the series and I can’t wait to get more for her. I actually get the story stuck in my head for hours after reading and end up singing them to myself 😂


Goals ||


I’ve been thinking about some things I really want to accomplish this month and this is my favorite place to hold myself accountable. 

  • I’ve been terrible about buying coffee and lunch out practically every day for work. While I won’t be cutting this out cold turkey, I’m leaving this as a treat once during the work week. 
  • Make sure I send out all thank you notes for Sophia’s birthday before the end of August. I can’t stand not getting this done, so I know this one will definitely happen. 
  • I want to try out 3 new workout classes –> sort of cheating on this since I’ve already got one done.
  • Clothes clean out for Sophia. Looking through everything from the first year and seeing what can be stored, donated & sold. Some stuff she didn’t even get to wear and it still has tags on – baby clothes really need to fit for more than one wear!!



What’s on your August to do list?

    That bag is beautiful!! And yes girl, kids clothes… UGH! I feel like I'm constantly cleaning them out. I just did it yesterday for my kids. I swear, sometimes they grow so fast they only have the opportunity to wear things once!

    When my nieces were babies – those fridge magnets were the best distraction. i've always given them as gifts ever since.
    I gotta check out that wristlet – I'm always looking for a cute, grab & go kinda thing

    I love that jacket! Those are some great goals, I also need to cut back on getting coffee and then lunch out daily too. I liked it when I cut it back to once a week then it felt like a treat

    You know, I wasn’t always a fan of crossbody and wristlet bags, until I became a mom, lol! They’re so easy and practical to keep all your immediate must haves, while having your hands free without feeling weighed down. I need to get that book. I’ve seen it around, but never really looked at it for Aviah. I feel like I’m so picky with Children’s books. Since you love it, I’ll have to check it out. Happy Wednesday, beautiful!

    Ah I forgot about those fridge magnets – we had them and loved them and now I must reorder for Riley! And you know I support the clutch on the go for a mama, plus that pink is perfection!

    I just ordered that magnet set for Zoe, thanks for the recommendation. How fun! We love the Pout Pout Fish! I am looking for a laptop bag for work, so I will have to check that out.
