I hope everyone made it through the first week of the new year relatively unscathed. My January has mainly been about planning out the details of my first cruise and vacation of the year at the end of the month. Also, looking forward to newly announced shows for the upcoming year.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday. No one needed to be starting out the year on the wrong foot. I did what I always do: stay home and do nothing. It was lovely. Highly recommended!

It’s the end of the year. The last few months have completely whizzed by in an absolute blur. There were some epic shows this year and I look forward to seeing Kristen’s Music Mix for 2022! I hope everyone has a great holiday and it’s spent exactly how you want to. I’m trying my best to relax the last week of December before we start a whole new year again. How about you?

It’s an extremely light week due to the holiday this weekend. Actually, it’s looking pretty light until we hit the new year. Take the time to kick back with a puzzle, binge your favorite tv show, have some tea or a hot toddy, and just relax as much as you can around the holidays. I personally will be recovering from my weekend of riding with a Harry Potter marathon or three cozied up in a blanket with some hot tea.
