Goals – October 2012

Octgoals

In September I enjoyed a great (quick) trip to Austin for my cousin's wedding immediately followed by our awesome trip to Hawaii. It was the perfect farewell to summer…and now I'm pretty eager for fall weather to arrive. At least Trader Joe's has pumpkin flavored everything on the end of every aisle. Trader Joe's always knows what season it is even if the weather doesn't.

I've also made some good progress on migrating my blog to Typepad. I know I've been talking about this f-o-r-e-v-e-r but I promise it's close, maybe as close as three weeks – ? This weekend I sat myself down to do what I've been dreading: moving my old posts over to Typepad. With some platforms you can do this easily and just export/import your old posts but this isn't available for the Squarespace to Typepad conversion. However, even though it's not as easy as clicking a few buttons it is going about as easy as it could. Thank goodness! Still, I had a total of 180 posts to move (I was surprised there were so many and it's been fun to go through old posts). I'm not halfway but I made a dent and have found a good rhythm. And I'm so excited about how much easier it's going to be to post and interact with you guys on Typepad.

Going to go easy on October goals because my number one priority is migrating my blog. So here's what's on my plate for October:

+ Move my blog to Typepad!

+ Make a fall craft. I'm thinking this one.

+ Figure out what to be for Halloween. Our neighbors are hosting an awesome party!

+ Decide when we're celebrating Falliday, yay! Usually we celebrate in October but we might push it to November this year because of our schedules. 

Happy October!

    Oh my gracious! I love Falliday! We may have to steal your holiday. That is brilliant, and another way to combat the “we don’t get fall in the valley” blues.

    I sort of celebrated Falliday last weekend. We made an impromptu early Thanksgiving dinner (even though here in Canada Thanksgiving is coming up on Monday!), no gifts though, sadly. I’m thinking I’m going to have to come up with a holiday for Novemeber since there really isn’t anything for us.

    Have you thought about hosting a ‘monthly goals’ link up? I would join 🙂

      I love this idea! I’ve seen those although don’t know how to host one. I’m going to look into doing that starting in the new year. I think that would be a great way to encourage community too, thanks so much for the idea!

    I’m not sure about how to host either, but I participate in one about baby-led weaning, and the host uses inlinkz.com

    I imagine there are several tools you can use, and they’re probably pretty simple since I see them around so much. Looking forward to seeing yours hopefully!
