New Year, New Adventures: Just the Beginning of Something Epic!
It’s The First Few Days of 2025: The Journey Has Only Just Begun!
As the new year unfolds, many of us are filled with a sense of excitement and possibility. New year, new beginnings—it’s the perfect time to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re heading. Starting the new year with intention and energy can set the stage for incredible things to come. Whether you’re focused on self-improvement in the new year, manifesting success in 2025, or simply building momentum in the new year, there’s no better moment to kickstart your year with purpose.
Normally starting a New Year means New Adventures! But, Sometimes I feel like the best place to start is to work backward, versus trying to begin with a blank slate or in a state of chaos going forward So I wanted to update you on what has happened so far THIS YEAR! — BUT this is only the beginning of what’s happened and what’s to come!
We are only into the First Few Days of 2025 and The Countdown to Something Epic Has Begun…
Celebrating New Year’s in the City
To kick things off we decided to spend New Year’s Eve celebrating at our Penthouse in Atlanta, GA since you can watch all of the fireworks from an AMAZING view! Especially since we don’t have just one balcony but TWO! One overlooks the city of Atlanta and the other has Buckhead views!
Also in case you didn’t know we don’t drink so this was a dry event! I mentioned Reasons Why I stopped drinking: How giving up alcohol became my superpower in life and business last year in a prior blog post!
You can also find a list of all our favorite NON-Alcoholic Beverages from Beer, Wine, Spirits, Mocktails and More over on my Alcohol-Free Sober Living Blog called “The Drops Of B”
Plus THIS all came from BTS of my life “my story” and the Healthy Habits I started imlipmenting in my life and business!
We got a new dog
I also might have forgotten to tell you we rescued a new little dog (aka Little Boy or “Lil Boy” — depending on who you ask) He was a stray we picked up on a Van Trip a few months ago while passing by the Shelter! He is by far one of the cutest sleepers! But he is still in training: potty training and for aggressive behavior! You can read all about him and meet all the animals @BirdiesDoghouse
P.S. We’ve also recently discovered the BIG BLANKET CO (@BigBlanketCo) — their Big Blankets are 10 feet x 10 feet. That’s 100 square feet of unbelievable comfort. The best blanket you’ll own and the only blanket you’ll need. Plus they have BIG oversized wearable hoodies! We bought 3 blankets one for each RV and the other for the Condo in the City! And of course, we got a few of their Hideout hoodies to stay warm! — That’s the gamer blanket Lil Boy and NVington are laying on.
Johnny Upgraded His Cat House & Bed (at the condo)
Recently we found these cute little pop-up portable pet houses. I think they are supposed to be houses for cats, but the dogs enjoy them too! However, Johnny enjoys watching out the window and has a bench in the house he sits on to view. So NVington (his cat dad) decided to make him an upgraded model and combine both his cat house and his heated cat bed so he could have the ultimate cat house! Johnny likes it HOT inside! 🥵 FYI you can find all of his favorite cat products and more in his CAT Store.

Kitty Nibbles (returns)
As normal Johnny continues to leave little Kitty Nibbles all over our lives and the Apples we got for Christmas were not off limits. Guess he wanted a nibble but didn’t like the taste!
P.S. In case you didn’t know you can follow Johnny Flynn our cat @CattitudeChaos to keep up and learn more about him!
New Pics + Clothes to set the mood!
Got some new clothes, not for Christmas but on a trip to Las Vegas (and Goodwill my favorite place)! NVington tells me I never wear all the new clothes I get so I put on my latest jacket and Goodwill find I got for $7.99!
FYI my jacket is actually made for “Men” but I found it in the women’s section at Goodwill in Las Vegas and it’s kinda my style! I looked up the company online (they’re called Kleep aka Kleep Style) and on social as @KleepStyle or @KleepUSA
Elevator Pics Coming Soon!
Here at Blogging Brandi, I’m always thinking about how I can “Elevate” your experience with the time you spend with me! After perusing my phone I noticed I have a lot of pictures I take in elevators so I wanted to make sure you know Elevator Pics are coming soon…
Doggy Dental has become a BIG deal
We’ve also been working on our Doggy Dental Hygiene (and the cat too)! Especially after Birdie and Milo had to have A LOT of teeth pulled last year! We have been trying different ideas for helping to keep their chompers clean! I keep a list of all their favorite things on Birdies Doghouse in their Dog Store
We have been trying to brush the dogs’ teeth and while they enjoy the process it’s hard to remember to do it (since I brush my teeth in the shower). It’s not like they can do it when I do it, but they kinda can with these new NO Brush Toothpaste Dog Treats by a company called “Ark Naturals or Antelope Pets” I found at Kohl’s while shopping for Christmas gifts! They are a 4-1 Doggy Dental Chew and the dogs love them. I like that they last for a little longer than a normal dog chew and brush the dogs’ teeth too!
The only thing I hate is the price even finding them at a discount of $10 for 15-24 (if I remember correctly) when you’re feeding 6 animals that adds up, especially at the recommendation of 2 dental treats per day!
What Life Is Like BTS with 6 Furbabies
Also in case you were wondering what it’s like to live, sleep, and eat with 5 dogs (plus 1 cat), just know it can be rewarding yet a tricky thing! Especially when it comes to times that involve feeding them or us eating! You can bet if there is food around you will find them waiting. FYI Johnny the cat has to stay in his case when we eat because he can’t control himself!
ICYMI @NVington and the dogs @BirdiesDoghouse love @Starbucks for breakfast and their new @BIGblanketCo gamer blanket too! #RealLife #NoFilters
