Hey, what a week! The week after New Year’s always feels like a whirlwind. It’s a strange but reflective time—very introspective. It’s that moment when you pause to think about the past year: how it went, what you accomplished, what you could have done better, and what you need to improve moving forward. For me, it’s not just about reflecting personally, but also as a business owner. There’s always that need to get everything in order for the year ahead. It’s a lot of planning and preparing, but it’s worth it.
Of course, with the start of the year, there are some tasks you can’t avoid—like getting the books ready for taxes. That part always frustrates me because it feels so arbitrary. I mean, December 31 rolls into January 1, and suddenly we’re in a new tax year. But it is what it is, and I got through it. For me, that’s one of the things I focus on during the last week of December and the first week of January. It’s a chore, but it feels good to check it off the list.

We’re not a big “New Year’s Eve” family. You won’t catch us in crowded nightclubs or at big, wild parties. Over the past few years, we’ve kept it low-key, celebrating at home. This year was a little different, though, as the boys are getting older and starting to create their own traditions. Noah spent New Year’s with his girlfriend and her family up in Pennsylvania. From what I heard, they had a great time together. Sam stayed home but made plans with some of his friends, which was great for him. Even though they were off doing their own thing, we still had some close friends visit us at home. It’s a tradition to hang out together around New Year’s, and I always enjoy that time with them.
One thing we love doing with these friends is making vision boards. It’s something we’ve done for years, and it’s become a fun way to think about the year ahead. We grab old magazines, cut out pictures, and create visual representations of our goals and dreams for the coming year. It’s inspiring to sit down, talk about our hopes, and create something tangible to look back on throughout the year. That said, I’ve noticed it’s getting harder to find good magazines with a lot of great visuals. If you know of any, let me know! You can email me at info
