It’s the end of September so it’s time for another month in review. It’s been a school filled month and we’re now into the fall holiday season. Here’s what we’ve been up to.
Daily Life
We are back in the swing of things with school and schedules. There hasn’t really been that much happening other than readjusting to school life.
Holidays
Since the holidays started later this year, September wasn’t so busy, while Rosh Hashanah was this week and now there is a holiday every week for the next 3. We did go to a Royals game on Labor Day, which I talked about on Friday!
School
School has been stressful – for me. Mainly because certain test or quiz grades make me stressed and I wonder if this is a remnant from my own childhood. I’ve been trying to make sure Simon is prepared for his math quizzes after he didn’t do well on his first one and only slightly better on his first test. Then I saw his English grade was low too but he assured me it was because an assignment was missing and he had permission to do it late!
Gabbie has narrowed down her college list and is supposed to be working on her essay. She should be able to have at least one application out soon. I had to go through a whole situation to get her ACT test scheduled when she could take it – long story short, they canceled her test location which had a Sunday test available and moved her to a Saturday test when she needed a Sunday test; then they wanted to charge me to change her back to a Sunday test. It’s all ok now though.
Activities
It’s field season for Gabbie at dance. I shared pictures here! She danced at the homecoming parade and game and also went to homecoming with some friends. Zachary and Gabbie are both on their youth group board, so they have meetings once a week for that. Simon isn’t doing any activities right now!
Health / Fitness
Simon finally stopped coughing after a 3 day dose of steroids. He does cough sometimes now which I think is allergies, but it’s nowhere near what it was before the steroids! Everyone else has been healthy this month!
I mentioned on Friday that I got new running shoes and yes, I’ve still been running. I imagine I will run less this coming month though, with the holidays taking up a lot of my time!
TV
Some of my favorite shows are back, but I haven’t had that much time to watch them yet. I did watch 9-1-1 this week.
Books
After a reading slump last month that continued into this month, I finally found some reads that I liked. I will be sharing my favorites for this month on Friday. I shared the first half of my September reading here and you can always see book reviews and more on my Instagram!
Photography
Here are my last few photos for 52 Frames – weeks 35 – 38!

Coming Up
More holiday celebrations and less time online. I’ll still be here though, so keep visiting me!
How was your September?
