I love the New Year and all the motivation it brings, along with all the reflection it brings as well. 2025 was a good year for us! It definitely had its ups and downs but overall, I can’t complain!
We welcomed our second daughter in January, survived her having a severe form of Cows Milk Protein Allergy – if you know, you know.. lol celebrated our first daughters 2nd birthday, and spent time with family. On the flip side to that, we found out our senior pup, Bella, has oral cancer. But she’s doing well, given the circumstances and prognosis. I’ll touch on that in another post because it’s a lot to unpack.
I’m hopeful that 2026 will be a good year. I love talking about goals with the people closest to me. My husband and I have started making lists of our goals we hope to accomplish this year, and I finally chose my words for the year – prosperity and flourish. I’m picking two this year because why not!
Going back to one of my previous blogs, I still have my list of 300 goals that I’m working on, but this year’s goals are more short-term and things we hope to achieve this year. Some of them do land on both lists but there’s no harm in that.
It’s always fun to look back at the year and see what all you’ve accomplished or the memories you’ve made! I’ll be honest, 2025 felt like a year of survival in some ways with having a toddler, and a newborn with CMPA. But here we are! Thriving and getting ready to celebrate her first birthday in a few weeks!
So, here’s to a year where we start checking off that list of goals and aspire to create new ones!
Happy New Year!
