A great month is now behind us, sigh. It’s all good though. I do crave routine and always look forward to the fall season. My kid’s start back to school today and we’re back in the mode of more busyness, a good thing (I think) as long as we keep it balanced!

I also wanted to mention that I announced this month’s Organizing Challenge yesterday. We’re going to focus on our personal closets this month and work to get them really organized with the clothes that we really wear! Join with me and let’s get more organized together!

Now, today is the First Monday of the Month, which means that once again, it’s all about sharing and caring via the Health + Home Party! But, before we jump into that goodness, here is a snapshot of last month’s activity here on MWM.

August Recap

In an attempt to simplify my life I’ve taken a realistic approach with my scrapbooking (baby books) and managing my memories in general. (Good time to review these ideas as the school year gets underway.) I got the opportunity to model a great dress and share my thoughts with you.

Then, I introduced you to a FAB FRIEND of mine Jacqui. Read all about how she manages her home and maintains her health, she is so cool and very inspiring!

I gave you a bit of a heart-felt post (or maybe an overshare?) your call, when I shared all about the bittersweet season of back to school. Then I revealed another room in our Beach House, the Kid’s Veg Space, which is exactly what it is.

And last but not least I walked through the steps for how to do squats correctly. A very important tutorial for those of you who want to do squats effectively! Stay tuned for a Squat Challenge in October!

Now it’s time for you to show us your August highlights!  It’s your turn to shine!  We’re looking for monthly link ups to include anything that fall within the two main categories – health and home.  In what ways did you live with more intention last month?  What did you create?  How did you better organize?  Where did you implement healthier changes?

Your link up can be organizational related, fitness focused, DIY, personal, recipes, fashion, parenting, faith, you name it!  We look forward to seeing all that you’ve done and a few lucky links up will be featured as one of MWM’s top faves later this month.
