Happy New Year! Every January 1st, I wake up with a strong desire to do a better job at attempting to live life to the fullest. This seems so difficult as a working mom of 3 who is so busy that life just feels like it is constantly flying by. So I thought I might try blogging highlights regularly to help myself reflect on the good things that I experience in life every day despite being so busy. So here it goes:

• Today, Mom offered to watch the boys so Ben and I could go on a run together. We used to love running together before we became parents but that never happens these days as someone needs to stay at home with the kids while the other runs. We enjoyed a nice 4 mile run together thanks to Mom.
• Mom and I watched the Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl. It was a great game that went into double overtime and the longhorns ended up beating Arizona. We really enjoyed watching the game together.
• Mom made us the most amazing New Year dinner. We had pork tenderloin, collards, spinach, and radish greens, black-eyed peas, and my favorite broccoli casserole. To have my favorite cook make our New Years dinner was a special treat!
• I read a really good book anout Jim Henson to the boys at bedtime and they all seemed engaged and listened well.

I’m wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2025!
