Organizing an Intentional and Purpose Filled July

July 2 marks the official midway point of the year which totally blows my mind.
The older I get the more I’m shocked at how quickly time seems to fly.
It truly feels like we were just celebrating the start of the New Year.
That said, the realization of how quickly time seems to pass is also a great reminder to fill our days and our calendars with intention.
Here’s a look at simple ideas and activities to help you prepare your heart, home, calendar and menu for a fresh month ahead.

I just can’t believe half the year is almost gone and July is knocking on the door! Here’s wishing you a relaxing and enjoyable month! Thanks for sharing so many fun ideas to explore this summer!
Looking forward to celebrating the 4th and hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Hi CoCo- I am reading the book “Raising Hare” by Chloe Dalton and it is SO good! The perfect warm hearted and inspiring book to help me slow down. Also, you inspired me to clean out my pantry this morning. We donated food (my husband volunteers at a local food pantry) and tossed items that were expired. It has literally made my entire day feel more organized. Wishing you a very celebratory July.
I loved your fun ideas for July activities. Lying in a hammock with a good book sounds absolutely wonderful… and getting a free slurpee at 7-11 on 7/11 is always so much fun, too!
