2026 goals

hey readers here with my goals for the year now I have a lot i want to do this year reading and watching and in life over all so lets get in too it 
the first category is life so the goals are as follow
1. when the weather is good outside meaning around 50 degrees are above and not raining or super windy get my son outside for at least 30 minutes a day 
2, to start better habits it easy for me to just sit on the couch when i'm not playing with my son and it also easier to just jump in to the day and not take care of myself i need to try to get a morning and night time routine of some sort that has self care into it doesn't have to be an hour just enough to get the basic done
3.to start cooking from the cookbooks we have it easy to go on line and find stuff but with ai it hard to tell what legit and not
that all of life lets go in to reading 
1. 54 books within the year I can go up but this is a stress free goal i'm not trying to make everything this big outrages goal 
2.I want to try to either complete or catch up too 5 series next year and now i know i'll have to do alot more if i want to get sown my series that i'm in the middle of but i'm going to try to get myself to dnf series if i'm not enjoying them 
3. I want to go back and read the winners of the good reads choice award from pervious years I want to try to do a year a month and there a few catorgeries that i might not be able to get the book at all but i'm going to try to do my best and if it part of a series and not the frist book ad haven't read the frist one in the series then i'll go with the frist book of that series
4 I want to read more then i buy last year i did better at that with the point system but I still struggle with it and i want to cut down on my physical book tbr one space two it over whelming to say the lease I want to clear out a sheleve on my tbr shelves at least 
with that said lets go in to movies and tv shows 
the only goal i have for this is to cut down on my watch list on everything i have hunderds of movies and tv shows and i need to get through them i know it going to be hard as my boy goes from 1 nap to two but the ones he can watch with me i should put on not saying it just movies being watch or shows but i need to get though this stuff it got my letterboxd watchlist down to under 300 i would like to get it under 200 

with all that said this is just my goals for the years I'll let you know at the mid point how i'm doing with all over them ifi remember that is mom brain is a real thing have a wonderful night or day and read what you love

what happen in december

 Ah December the end of the year it time to celebrate the end of the year finish up any last minute shopping for the holidays. For us here we started of the month with a bit of snow of corse the boys fell both of them. Bubby from the ground dipping and not knowing that hubby from it being slippery did i laugh at my husband yes but it was from the way he fell and yes i did tell him sorry for laughing. ther next day was just chaos tell me why i thought it be a good idea to try to clean my living while my child was up i don't know hat i was thinking but did i get the main part of the living room cleaned kind of it just didn't stay cleaned. after that between tension with hubby and my son being chaotic we ended up running arrens and friday and saturday we took bubby to meet santa and he was like is this the big hype not inpressed we been watching christmas movies around his bedtime also made another dessert that turned out good. we also when to our towns christmas prade but didn't end up stay for the christmas tree lighting. but that was week one of december. 

the second week been a whirlwind bubby been on a ramping of getting into everything along with baking and cooking new things to see if we like to take for the christmas party along with movies at dinner time been rolling a dice for that to see what one we watching. This past weekend he was with the grandparents which lead me to deep cleaning his room and the pantry as well as a day of movies and gaming which was real nice change of things of being able to do that hubby step up and did chores friday night and saturday night with that said we got a bunch of snow and really cold temps so we will see if bubby will get to enjoy it any more 

okay third week down for the most part and bubby been testing me this week wihth drawing on the walls and plz tell me why it always when i'm cooking or waking up like boy you had my attention or will get my attention soon oh well he is learning that or getting in to stuff he no supposed to get in to but with that said we took it to his first christmas lights drive thur and he fell asleep on the way there but woke up right before we went in and seem to stay awake for the whole thing along with the ride home now he was a pain to get to bed that night butt family memories. Over the weekend we had a family chirstmas party to go to and it was alot running after bubby he was running all over and try to leave with with one of my husband's cousins i don't think he wanted them to leave. ed up pasting out there and when we got home we had to put him to bed to get him back to sleep. oh any sunday was chaos ended up getting potatoes pn sale so i made of some to freeze while bubby was playing have timers after timer and having to remember what timer was for what was exhusting. 

christmas week started with chaos bubby found a new thing to climb and it too heavy for me to move and my husband wont movie it so now every five minutins bubby in his room i'm charging in there checking on his but the rest of the week hubby home so he can help out house is a mess and i want to get i down before christmas eve which as i write this is tomorrow yeah still got gifts too wrap and everything well got the holidays done and bubby got a lot i'm just glad he had fun and what happy. for the most part he got a bit thrown off but he was good mostly with that said and the new year coming the last week is for family time, cuddles, movie night, cleaning this mess up and finishing up my reading 

THe final few days of the year we just kind of done chores and hang out at home went grocery shopping and hubby worked on my car we also to our son to the mall for the first time kind of sad since most of it was close down went to to a few places and ad mall pizza Came and been just chilling and cleaning the house happy new year and read what you love

this is an modern horror story of the Digital world we live in. this story remind me of plus and unfriend but a bit more of the streamer take of things. I had this story play as a movie in my head as i listened to it and i enjoy this read for the spooky season over all i give this book 4 stars and really the only reason it not a 5 stars is because it not a new fave of mine.

this is a very detail fantasy world with a focus on fighting this complex world draws readers in so the characters and keep them there now I will say for me this book didn't make me feel one way or another while i read the book, but i can see people getting drawn in to the world and characters and feeling the lows and high the characters go though. With all that said this book is for me a 4 star reads just a lack of connection to the character and world on my end.

this witchy vibes book about rather we create fate and is it thrust upon us. In here we learn that not all love is the same and sometimes fate isn't everything it crack up to be after all. With disabilities rep and a mc that learns from our mistakes and to take their fate in their own hand with spunky side characters.

this book was boring for me the story just felt like it dragged on and on and then in a mad dash to end it everything come together nothing about this was thrilling it never felt like there was any danger once so ever, over all it a 2 star book for me personally. Not sure if it was the writing or pace that didn't work for me
