On New Year’s Day, a friend and I texted this to each other:
Me: “Can you believe it’s 2025? When I was young that seemed like the year for a sci-fi movie. Where is my flying car?!”
Friend: Yeah! And that robot maid!!
Those sci-fi-inspired luxuries don’t exist for us mere mortals yet–though, they’re certainly in development at tech labs around the world–but every year we get closer and closer to those sci-fi luxuries becoming a reality.

New Year, New Goals
Speaking of things becoming a reality…Every year, I make a list of goals–things that I want to accomplish in the new year. And I review the list of goals from the previous year. It’s pretty cool to see things on that list go from idea to reality. Here are some of my goals for 2025.

Do you believe in new year’s resolutions or setting goals for the new year? If so, I’d love to hear them. Feel free to share in the comments below or message me.
Ideas for New Year’s Resolutions/Goals for Kids:
– READ THE article from Johns hopkins medicine
“Volunteering as a family, choosing a group or charity to support, every month or on a timeline that is feasible for the family.
Learning a new vocabulary word every day.
As a family, learning a new language and only speaking that language at home one day per week, or one meal per week, etc.”
