Learn Something New in 2023 – Obligatory New Years Resolution Post

January 4, 2023January 13, 2024 Jamie

So I am going to write that stereotypical blog post this year trying to encourage everyone to be the best version of themselves this year. However, my post is going to be a little different. I’m not going to tell you my foolproof method of sticking to your new year’s resolutions (because I for one do not know the secret!). I’m also not going to tell you what to do because to be honest, I find those types of posts annoying. What I am going to do is to encourage you to make 2023 the year you learn how to do something new!

My husband and I like to listen to audiobooks when we have long drives. We like to pick books that will be interesting to both of us.

My Perfect Playlist for Your Zoom Happy Hour

It’s finally Friday. I know that all the days are starting to blurtogether at this point, but it’s finally FRIDAY! A few months ago, Fridays were awesome. My husband and I would go out for dinner on Friday nights. Sometimes we would try a new brewery for dinner, other times we would get dinner at one of our favorite bars (Shout out to our favorites Jerzees, Roosters, and Winking Lizard). Now life is a little different because we can’t go out. But we can make the most out of this weird situation by having Zoom happy hours with our friends and families. This is my perfect playlist for a Zoom (or Facetime) happy hour. It is also a great playlist for hanging out in your back yard. It is mostly country and throwback pop hits from the early 2000s.
