Organized Charm: August Vignettes

Can you believe August is over? What the heck?! I feel like it was literally just July! I really hope that this was a great month for y’all! I know a lot of exciting things happened: moving in, rush week, the first day of school! I can’t wait to hear all about it in the comments!

Here is what my August looked like…

…on Organized Charm:

August is all about fresh starts and reorganization!

We reached a checkpoint for those goals we set back in January!

How was your goal checkup?!

HAL-LE-LU-JAH ——— HAL-LE-LU-JAH

School supply season is here!

And Organized Charm celebrated it’s first birthday!

And obviously, we couldn’t head back to school without a checklist being involved...

Finally, for every SmartBook that we order, McGraw-Hill is donating a textbook to a child in a developing country! So keep that in mind as you search for your required texts!

{also, you don’t have to wait for a SmartBook to ship AND mine was only $45!}

…in my “real life”:

I made the amazing discovery that I live ONE block away from a local candle shop.

{Which is good for me but slightly dangerous for my bank account. Okay, it’s really dangerous.}

I started teaching at my new school and I have to say that I just love it so far! Even better? Our logo is an anchor! Obviously, I’ll now ~~have an excuse to buy~~ need to buy anchor jewelry, anchor pants, anchor shirts, anchor shoes…

Our new home is really, really coming along. I am now one closet and one cabinet away from having it completely organized!

-FINALLY!-

My brother graduated Cum Laude from the University of Memphis, so we were all super proud!

{and yes, this is what he wore TO graduation… after I practically had to force him to go. *sigh*}

And lots and lots of planning happened!

{it doesn’t count if you don’t photograph it, right?}

…other places online:

I can never pass up a good personality test, and the Who Am I? quiz from Visual DNA is a really cool one! It measures your levels of “The Big 5” personality traits: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Agreeableness. Best of all? You’re choosing your answers from photos!

This article from BuzzFeed was whirling around my Facebook Newsfeed last week, so I checked it out. Oh my gosh. I downloaded almost every one of these apps! Definitely worth checking out!

Have you been to Good.Co and taken their quizzes yet? They recently added even more in-depth personality analyses to determine how you work and which types of jobs are perfect fits for you!

{I always, always get teacher!}
