This year I have eased into my resolutions. We are not carrying extra mental weight around for no reason with arbitrary deadlines to make us feel bad when we don’t meet them! Instead I am trying out more of a habit stacking format starting with some incorporating some fun new Christmas presents we are loving!

This vibration plate was a hit when I gifted to my stepmom earlier this year, so it was a family gift for us and it has been awesome. It literally melts away any soreness we have, and its sort of serves as a low commitment easy gateway in to working out. Setting aside 10 minutes to do something is like the Ultimate A.D.D. life hack for our family. And at this point 10 minutes is more minutes than we were doing most days; so yay for small victories. I will report back with any noticeable changes but for now we committed to 10 minutes a day but I am also incorporating a 10 lbs weighted ball or 5 lbs ball during at least some of each session. With how sore I woke up this morning, I am going to say it is WORKING!

We are also all trying to get better at tennis. If you have never thought about giving it try, seriously just do it. So many people start at every age, and the benefits are so worth it. Increased lifespan without giving up anything. . .Sign me up! Also excited for the future when we can play doubles as a family! The serve trainer, top spin trainer and reflex trainer were also Christmas gifts that we are loving ! And if that whole ten minutes a day thing is accurate then we will be experts in no time.

Ok so this last one is SPENDY and OMG she has been on my wishlist for years!! She is gorgeous and luxurious and everything I hoped she would be. And also my new BFF as a stay at home mom who hates cleaning. My literal life mission for this year is to make every part of my day as enjoyable as possible, and let me tell you this is the ultimate upgrade. I have recently become obsessed with home tours on YouTube, but sometimes they just talk on and on and on about every dang object in the room. So having this on in the background while folding laundry, doing dishes or tidying and has been so much fun. Being productive and feeling spoiled is goals! It has so many features and I can’t wait to start incorporating them more.

So CHEERS to 2026. Hope your year is off to a great start, and if not no pressure. We are all just living and figuring it out as we go! Meanwhile I am going to keep on keeping on with my sometimes crazy ideas to make life as enjoyable as possible!
