Feeling 2022!

Achieved: 2021, level up: 2022.

Hey everyone! Congratulations on another year in the bag. Let's take it by the reins and beat this level unafraid and unapologetically. Fill it with new challenges, adventures, and achievements. Have your best days yet and invest in all your favorite people, and maybe some new ones. Set up this new year to be the greatest adventure yet; set it up like a high score to bested next year. We know we plan to have a dazzling and golden, roaring 2022.

Reflections

We've had a crazy year. Reflecting on 2021, we'd say we spent it with our families, trying new things, and achieving a few life checkmarks. Kiddo had her wedding reception, our brother got married, and Chica gained an Associates of Arts degree under her academic belt. We flew to Chicago this past summer to visit our sister and see the city. Chica started a new college, made a lifelong friend, and took on a new co-writing project. Most exciting of all, we started this whole thing together. This blog has been an admittedly slow going, but fun project for us, and we're ecstatic for the possibilities of this adventure as we ring in the new year; the new Kiddo & Chica. Let us know in the comments how your 2021 went.

Rituals

What are your New Years Traditions? Do they involve eating twelve grapes while sitting under a table at the stroke of midnight? Hilariously, ours does. We've sorted that into a bag of traditional activities ever since our brother married a Peruvian woman and she spiced up our family traditions. Our family's New Year's often involve drinking a glass of champagne (or mimosas) while watching the ball fall, or sitting by a bonfire and ringing in the new year with the neighbors. Although this time our family spent the holiday separately since a few of us were sick and others working. Let us know what traditions your families enjoy for New Years.

Resolutions

Most people ring in the New Year with a list of resolutions, goals they want to actively work towards and achieve before the year ends; probably 90% of those are tossed out in the first month. Remember, never - ever - go to the gym in January.

We don't get into resolutions usually, but this year we'd like to make one collaborative resolution: Invest more time in Kiddo & Chica, build a community around this adventure of ours, and have lots of fun with it all. We hope you join us in the fun! Let us know your resolutions for the New Year down below.

So, who's feeling 2022?! What are you most excited for this year? When are y'all betting the New Year's Resolutions go out the window? Before or after Valentine's Day? Where did 2021 even go? Why did it suck for you, or why did it kinda rule? Let us know in the comments, and come back next week for the first installment in our new What To Watch series. We're talking some juicy shows next Friday!

Happy new year!
