As we step into a brand-new year, I’m excited to set my intentions and map out my goals for 2025. This year, I’m focusing on growth, creativity, and balance—all while staying true to what matters most to me. Here’s what I’m working towards:
Expanding My Income Streams
In 2025, I aim to have 5+ streams of income. Right now, I’m juggling four and have another in the works. Diversifying my income not only provides financial stability but also keeps life interesting. I have big hopes for the upcoming year and can’t wait to see how these opportunities unfold.
Taking Mama Crow’s Wax Melts to New Heights
Mama Crow’s is my passion project, and I’m determined to elevate it this year. From creating unique, memorable scents to expanding my online presence, I’m pouring everything I’ve got into making it a known name in the wax melt community. Here’s to growth, creativity, and bringing more joy to customers through every melt.

Better Productivity and Time Management
Chico’s return to work has thrown my schedule into disarray. To reclaim my routine, I need to focus on productivity between 6 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. This means sticking to my schedule, minimizing distractions, and turning “more work, less scroll” into my mantra. Blogmas showed me that daily blogging is achievable, and I’d love to keep that momentum going. Creating an eBook every month is also on my radar!

Mastering Digital Products and Tools
I’m diving headfirst into mastering digital products. This includes becoming a pro at Canva and ChatGPT. These tools are essential for streamlining my work and adding value to my creative projects. With consistent practice, I know I can become an expert.
Embracing Creativity
This year, I want to explore my creative side even more. I plan to:
- Finally learn how to use the sewing machine my kids gave me.
- Spend more time painting and working on crafting projects.
- Put my Silhouette Cameo 4 and t-shirt press to good use.
It’s all about making time for the hobbies that spark joy and keep my creative spirit alive.

Reading Even More
Reading has always been a big part of my life, and I’m ready to take it up a notch. I alternate from reading on my Kindle Fire to traditional books. Mornings are spent delving into inspirational or self-improvement books during the drive with Santiago to his job. While bedtime is spent reading true crime, historical romance, or fictional ghost stories. Those are great, but I want to incorporate even more time to devour new stories and learn.
Healthier Choices and Movement
Healthwise, I’m focusing on better choices and more movement. My stationary bike desk has been underutilized, and it’s time to change that. Adding regular exercise to my routine, even while working, will make a world of difference.

Becoming Debt-Free
This year, I’m determined to pay off all my loans and credit card balances. I’ve always avoided debt, but circumstances changed last year. By the end of 2025, I aim to be debt-free, except for my home and car, paving the way for financial peace.
Improving My Home
While I dream of moving to the country, I’ll focus on improving my current home if that’s not possible. New flooring, updated windows, and decluttering stored items are top priorities. My cleaning routine is solid, but a little revamping never hurts.
Deepening Relationships
As Santiago and I celebrate 16 years together, I’m committed to continuing to grow our bond. Marriage is always a work in progress, and I want to be the best wife, mother, daughter, friend, and Gigi I can be. I’m also hopeful that Santiago’s return to work is temporary and that we’ll soon have more time together.
Growing Spiritually
My spiritual journey is a lifelong endeavor. I strive to grow closer to God and practice better Christian values daily. This goal anchors everything else I do and keeps me grounded.
