My August To-Do List | 2021 Edition
My August To-Do List | 2021 Edition
Here we are, another month into the year and somehow my birthday is fast approaching. I say it every time, but I’ll say it again, where has this year gone!
Next month is my birthday month and it feels surreal saying that because it feels like I only turned 28 a few months ago. But that’s a chat for next month and the identity crisis I’m having over being 30 next year.
Instead, it’s time to focus on my August to-do list for 2021. If you fancy seeing what I got up to in July and if I ticked off my to do list from last month, check out my July Roundup post.
August To-Do List
• Get everything ready for LB returning to School
Little bear will be going into primary 3 on the 16th August and I’m not ready. I can’t believe my baby boy is growing so fast and already in primary 3, its scary.
So far I’ve been doing quite well with getting school supplies in bit by bit, but there are a few items still left to get.
LB hasn’t chosen a pack lunch box yet nor had he decided on which jacket or bag he would like. As someone who likes to be super organised, I feel like the clock is ticking and we have to get these items ASAP before the shops are all out.
• Have more days out
In July we had so many amazing days out and experiences. So, I want to have as many as possible before little bear goes back to school.
I want to make lots of memories and make sure he can say he’s had a good time over the holidays. Because we have been locked up for almost a year, thanks corona! I have been determined to make up for lost time.
• Get prepped for Grans birthday
As it’s also my grans birthday month in September (she’s two days before me), I have to start getting prepped for it.
This is where my being organised trait comes in. I feel like if I haven’t got it all bought and prepared before September that I’m unprepared and I hate that.
So this month I’ll be looking for some interesting and unique gifts for her.
If you have any suggestions, let me know in the comments!
• View some houses
After dragging our feet on getting a house, we’ve started the process and damn is it scary.
We are hoping to view a couple this month and if all goes well, we could be home owners by the end of the year!
Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed on this one.
• Work on content
In July I was on an upward movement with content. I felt like I was finally back into the rhythm of things and then we started getting busy with days out and such.
It’s not a bad thing, Real life outside of the Internet takes priority but I would like to get organised and into that swing of it again.
• Create some new products
I have so many ideas for products written down in my phone notes and blog planner but I have yet to work on them.
With being quite busy in July I found it hard to focus on anything other than making sure LB has a good summer break.
So, this month when he goes back to school I would like to work on creating new products.
• Clear credit card balance
Due to having lots of days out and such, I have been using my credit card a lot more.
I wish I didn’t, but after loosing my bank card (YAY, but not) I have been freely tapping the credit card when I felt like it.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a high amount on the balance, it’s £265, but I would still like to get it cleared before the end of August.
I do have until September 12th to clear it, but I hate having the balance high for too long.
And that’s my August to do list. I’m hoping to tick them all off come my August roundup post, fingers crossed! What’s on your to do list this August? Let me know in the comments.

Thank you 😊 I’m really looking forward to start looking, the excitement is real!
You sound busy and happy. I am paying off a credit card too. Painful.
This is a very exciting list to work your way through! I’m really working on my blog content this month too, I’ve dropped the ball a little this year. The house news is very exciting! Looking for a house can be very stressful, but it’s worth it when you find one. Believe me!

Great to-do list! I hope you’re able to achieve everything on your list and have a lovely month x
Thank you so much 😊
These are good monthly goals. All the best to you. Have a good month too.
Thank you so much 😊 hope you have a great August
This is a great list! My birthday is also in September, and it’ll be my first birthday while in college so I’m interested in seeing how that goes. I’m trying to get school supplies this month and enjoy the last bits of summer as well. Thanks for sharing girl!
Alexis
Ooo, exciting! I hope you enjoy your first birthday whole at college 💕
I feel as though we are kindred spirits because I love to be organized too! It’s sounds like you have some busy days ahead and I hope everything gets completed in time so you can breathe again. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you 💕 being organised is both a blessing and a curse isn’t it lol I’m looking forward to getting everything ticked off
Wow! It sounds like you have a busy August ahead! I am sure you will get everything done on your to-do list.
Sarah
Thank you so much Sarah, hope you have a great August
These are some great goals to be honest, I hope you have some great viewings! Buying a home can be a really exhausting process, I hope it goes well for you x
Thank you 😊 I’m really hoping that we don’t have long to wait but I know its not the best time to be buying right now, still holding out hope lol
My little one is starting Reception this September and I feel so unprepared! Think I’ll feel better once his school jumpers have been delivered though.
I really need to start prepping some more blog content soon too, feeling a bit uninspired at the moment!
Saph x
I hope your little one enjoys themselves at reception! Once everything is in you will feel a sense of relief, I remember when my little one was starting school for the first time and I was panicking until everything was bought lol
Oooh it sounds like it is going to be an exciting month for you. This has given me some serious motivation.
Thank you so much 😊
Great list! I can’t believe it’s already August, this year flew by despite being at home a majority of the time. I’m hoping to get out more as well. I’m also looking forward to cooler weather haha it’s been way too hot lately. Thank you for sharing your list!
This year is just flying past so fast isn’t it?! Just wish it would slow down lol
Ah just wait until its 40 on the horizon! Never fear, 30 isn’t so bad. It’s my birthday soon too and back to school is on my mind as well. Good luck with all your preparations.
I don’t think I’m so scared of being 30, it’s more I’m getting older and that terrifies me as both my uncle and mum died young so I have a weird fear of that. Thank you, good luck to you as well!
Oh you have a lot on your to do list! I have to sell my mom’s house and it was harder then I thought it was going to be emotionally and then I have to look a buying a condo. I am not looking forward to any of this.
Allie
Aww I’m sorry you’re going through that process, I hope it’s as easy it can be on you 💕
It sounds like you’re going to have an equal parts productive and fun month, Jordanne! It might be so crazy that LB is going to school for the first time – I have a younger brother and when he first went to school, I almost couldn’t believe he wasn’t a baby anymore. Good luck on the house hunting, I have my fingers crossed for you! xx

Luckily he isn’t going to school for the first time, he’s just moving up to the next class of primary 3 so I’ve already done the whole “srating school emotions” lol
Good luck with all your goals this month, I bet you can check them all off! My goal this month is also to focus on my blog content and try to organize my posting schedule. ♥

Thank you 😊 good luck with your August Goals
Sounds like August will be a busy but fun month for you! I agree, this year has just flown by! How are the kids going back to school already? It’s so hard to believe. I hope LB has a lovely school year! Your birthday will be here before you know it, but don’t worry about 29! It will be a great year!
I’m hoping it will be! I know right, I feel like we have hardly any school holidays it’s gone that fast. Thank you so much, I’m hoping that 29 doesn’t go as quick as 28 has lol
Looks like you’ll be very busy. I hope you have a productive month.
Thank you Rachel 😊
Looking like a busy but creative and lovely month for you. Two birthdays (two cakes 😋), house-hunting and prepping for back to school? I knackered already 😂.
Hope you and your Gran have super lovely birthdays. 🥰🥳🎉
Luckily I still have over a month to prep for the birthdays as our birthdays are in September lol just tackling the house hunting and school this month
August looks like such a fun for you. Its great to know that you are house hunting! Wonderful Post! Have a great day!
Thank you so much 😊💓
Ooh I loved reading this. Made me feel motivated to get my life together haha! I love that you are house hunting, that’s always so exciting. Good luck with it all. I also have birthdays to plan and back to school to sort out. I really need to up my game with this blog too and get more content finished for it.
Thank you 😊 good luck with your to do list
It sounds like you are going to have a busy but productive August! I always find August a funny month, as we are usually on holiday for x2 weeks of it, so it always flies by, although the pandemic has altered plans for the last two years!
Thanks for sharing your plans and good luck with the house hunting!
Aimsy xoxo
Aww it was a great August to be honest, feel like I have a fun hangover though lol hope you had a great August 💕
Looks like you have quite a bit to do this month. Wishing you all the best with them and hope you have a great month! In August, I really want to read some of my saved articles on Pinterest, start a course for my main career, and put out good content on the blog.
Thank you do much 😊 hope you had a great August and achieved your goals.
You’re so right about real life outside of the internet taking priority. I feel much less guilt about my internet activity in the winter when it’s dark nearly always! I love this post idea and hope you manage to achieve all that you want to this month and that the little one enjoys returning to school! 🙂
Thank you 💖 we definitely has an amazing month
