Hello to those visiting for the first time and all my loyal readers. I just wanted to post a quick message to say Happy New Year. 2025 kind of went by in a blur, and I can’t wait to see what 2026 brings us all.
Personally, this year was huge for the blog. Traffic and earnings directly from the blog are as high as they’ve been in several years. I’m happy to see the effort put in has translated to great results.
Anyway, I am not going to drag this out; we all have celebrating to do.
Before I sign off, here are some of the posts that helped bring in the eyeballs (over 124k views in 2025)
