Happy New Year and 2025 Blog Recap

 Hey loves. Happy New Year. We have survived all the holiday fun and ready for all the things the new year brings. I had no intentions of taking off the last week from blogging, but life happens. Between going away the weekend before Christmas to squeezing 3 days of work into 1 day, throw in all the Christmas parties, a 40th birthday party celebration, a hiccup that I didn't need, and New Years, life has been crazy. 

I may not have ended the year how I had planned but I have learned that life throws you curl balls and you have to roll with it. God always has a bigger vision for you. Right now mine is to relax and enjoy the twinkle of the Christmas lights (that came down on Saturday) and the joy of the season. I have been dealing with a flare up of my back and been on the couch for the last week (plus going to work for a few hours a day to get stuff ready for the next church service and all the year end budget/bills). 

It's a triple post Monday. Sharing our meal plan for the week, Happy New Year and Blog Recap from 2025, and Amazon Lately December 2025




I am so grateful for another year of blogging and my amazing blog readers/friends.  Before we jump into 2026 lets do a wrap up of some favorites from 2025!!! 

2025 brought forth many changes. 

  • I started two jobs- one remote doing marketing and social media for a real estate team, the other in person as the office administrator for our church.
  • I also became a board member for my younger two kids school PTA, which has been more work than I ever anticipated. 
  • Brian switched real estate companies, is working more from home and not at an office, and he also works at our church.
  • We bought a motorhome.
  • All the sports. 
    • Anna did soccer, t-ball, basketball, and gymnastics. Plus Girl Scouts
    • Austin did baseball and basketball.
    • Ella tried fencing. She is also apart of the student council, WEB, drama club, and Girl Scouts
  • And so much more. I will recap more when I share my Ode to 2025.
