Whew! It's the end of September and this was definitely one to remember. From traveling to California, Disneyland, and the 2022 D23 Expo to coming home and celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary, this has been one busy, yet epic, month!
I'm also happy to report this is the most active I have ever been on my blog. I set a goal for myself that one of the months in 2022, I would write a blog post for every single day of the month. And September was that month as it was my last chance to achieve this goal before Eliot and I get busy with the holiday rush for our businesses.
It wasn't pretty, and I had to get caught up a few times, but I did it! Mission achieved! I wrote 30 posts for September... something I will probably never, ever do again.
I worked my butt off before our trip to California in order to have posts ready to go live every day of our trip. I'm so proud of myself for sticking to my plan and busting my bootie off before we left. In the end, I was never able to finish the post for the last day of our trip. (I thought I might work on it at the airport during our layover in Chicago... but I wasn't awake enough to focus on it.) But other than that one post, I had a blog post scheduled to go live every day of our trip! I think that's pretty impressive!
Especially considering that when I finally wrote that post, it took me about 4-5 hours to complete. My merchandise and bucket list results posts can take me a lot of time... usually multiple hours for one blog post. The longer the bucket list or more products that I'm sharing with you... the longer it takes to put the post together. (Some of these posts took me over 4 hours to write, edit, and get photos together for.) So you can see how it's easy to get behind when I'm juggling that, our businesses and my personal life!
But have no fear! Everything is caught up for September now. And in case you did miss anything, I've added a few quick links to some of the posts I backdated below:

Finally, I also took a bit longer to put together my Summer 2022 Bucket List Results. I had over 50 goals, so I knew that would take a bit of time to put together. Thankfully, I've come up with a quicker way to do these after putting four bucket list results posts together this month. Hopefully they won't be quite as difficult moving forward... I'm sure they will still take a bit of time, but at least it will be much more streamlined!
Looking back at all 30 of these posts, especially the bucket list ones... I can really see how full of a month Eliot and I had. It was full of memories, fun, adventure, magic, new experiences, love, laughter and celebrating our happily ever after. °o°
