Also played Little Kitty with my partner right towards the end of the year and we loved it too! I was pleasantly surprised by it, and especially all the animal characters. Chameleon is an all time favourite for me. And yes, we did 100% the game as well, with just a little bit of online checking for some of the more sneaky achievements, haha. My favourite game of 2024 was probably Paper Mario TTYD Remake, not just because it was one of the few games released last year I actually played, but it was a beautiful and rich remake of a game I adored. It’s not a perfect game, but it’s a game I love, and it’s made all the better by the improved sprite animations and extra challenges

So many cozy games! Haven't had a chance to try any of them...need more time for cozy gaming! Hope you have a great week!

Spirit City was my most used program/game of last year. It definitely helped me focus on work. I'd like to play more games but ones that aren't on a timer (looking at you, farming games!). I'm hopeful for Tales of the Shire, but I think it'll also be more farm/time focused.

Another bonus is saving with the journal and not just by sleeping.

And Fields of Mistria is still not even done. I can't wait until it's finished!😊

The cats just love the camera 😂 Octopia was amazing 😭 I love Eastward so much. DDV took me a while to get around to but I also finally played in 2024 and LOVED it! (And I’m a Disney girl so I’m happy I got it). Fields of Mistria has been such an amazing addition to the farming sim genre and shocked me in early access. I normally don’t do EA games but this one was AMAZING. Echoes of Wisdom was my game of the year. It made me love Zelda games all over again, appreciate the characters and music, and made me feel confident enough to tackle them all. Declaring 2025 my Zelda year 💕

What was your favorite game from 2024? ⭐️

ahhh yesss!!! finally getting to sit down and watch this and SO excited to hear more vlogs are coming! yay! i also discovered in recent years that comfortable and loose fit jeans existed😭 honestly, adulting at its best lol. still havent actually worn them while working from home though.. love the book section and hearing your thoughts on them all ♡

Does anyone know what happened to the milking room because in the older game cube versions you could buy a milking room from the ledger to atomate milking the cows, but it seems to be missing in the newer version any ideas? do I need to do something to unlock it or is it just completely gone from the game?

What a great routine for the morning! Reading devotionals and being in the Scriptures is the best! Carbuncle was being SO helpful in this vlog! :P Yay for comfy jeans!!!! Good luck with the nospend/lowspend...you got this! Yay for libraries! Ooooh...have fun starting on your crochet journey!!! there are some GREAT crochet tutorials online! Those are some great goals that you have! And congrats on getting so many books! Hope you're having a great day! (not a lot of goals for the year here...but I HAVE given myself permission to try new things if I want to...and work is forcing me to stretch and take on some extra duties)

Welcome to crochet!! Glad you got back into vlogging! Vlogs are perfect to watch while crocheting hehe, so thanks for the company! And good luck with all your new goals! they're really inspiring :D

You're not stupid for thinking that--you're growing in allowing yourself to do what YOU want! Thank you for doing that. I myself was curious about what a lifestyle blog for you would have been like and I love it!! Thank you again, and glad you are doing what makes you happy!! God bless you!!

Yay, so happy to see you vlogging & seeing how you spend your quiet time 💕

So excited to hear that you're doing vlogs! I myself was afraid to vlog because I thought I always had to stick with one niche/video game and I remember when I was doing Super Mario/Nintendo content in 2023-middle of 2024, I was missing creating Sonic content A LOT because I was a Sonic content creator for 6-7 years and I told myself, "Grace, you're the only you. If you want to get out there in the world and share your love and passion for all video games and your life and inspire others out there to do the same, DO IT!" So now I'm a Christian gamer who loves to share her life while talking about Sonic the Hedgehog and Nintendo.💙🍄

this was so cute and fun :) Also, proud of you for FINALLLLLY finishing Midnight Sun, totally worth it!

I fully support more lifestyle blogs. I love those way too much, they're so nice and comfortable. I also loved the book reviews. I religiously watch all kinds of videos on books. Also, if you ever need to discuss books, seriously, I'm here for you girl! 😂

If you use a lot of fertilizer, best tip is that you can use hay in the maker. You have near unlimited supply of it.

Awesome and wish you all the best in 2025

That’s funny I just finished midnight sun yesterday, when I tell you I feel in love. It was so fun seeing all the new details that were in here and hearing peoples thoughts during certain scenes was also very entertaining……I’m gonna reread the series for the millionth time again now

this was nice to have on while getting some work done. and encouraging. I'm looking forward to future vlogs ❤

You inspire me to make more video content. I just need to do and then learn how to be cool at editing like you.

I really love all the stickers on your laptop. Mine's totally decked out in them too. xP Goals for the year! Continue creating content I enjoy and keep the hobby fun for me. Try to make more time for journaling again. Work on trying to be more open with my mom on things and just try to continue being supportive of my hubby and my son. ^^

BUNC IS THE STAR 😂😂😂 I adored your intro about doing what makes you happy. I love this for you. I’m gonna take that with me as I do my things! Please keep up the vlogs. I feel like I’m hanging out with you and it’s so comforting. 💚

What are your goals for the New Year? ♥

I really enjoyed the chocolate factory simulator demo, didn’t realize it was releasing so soon! Thanks Ash! Also, couldn’t agree more about adding games to the wishlist even if you don’t intend to buy them. Not only does it not hurt, but the more wishlists a game has, the more likely it is to pop up for more people! Wishlist away lol! 💜

I still need the MySims cozy bundle and I definitely want to play more cooking/story-based games

So many fun games coming out! I am SO looking forward to Hello Kitty Island Adventure! I may get it on release day...depends on the budget (I...uh...got in on some first of the year sales for some of my other hobbies/collections) Happy 2025!

Thank you so much, Ashley! 💛🏴‍☠ You're the best.

I’m looking forward to Hello kitty and Jumping jazz cats. I didn’t know about Harvest Hills so I might check that one out too.

non me excited because I bought recentely a taxido Sam plushie and now I see that is a character in Hello Kitty Adventure!

Added a few to my wishlist, but not sure I'll buy them just yet, probably at a later time and continue to work on my backlog :D Happy new year to you and thanks for the lovely discoveries! As for this month's games, so far I'm playing Catmaze on my deck, and I plan on playing The Excavation of Hob's Barrow on PC for now, then either Venba, Paper Trails, The Darkside Detective, My Big Sister, Rusty Lake Hotel or several of them depending on the time I have haha They were all kindly gifted to me for xmas, so wanna play them in priority :D

Gonna play Hello kitty and mayby Skystead Ranch

What games are you playing this month? ☺

Hi Ash! Ty for the video I was just wondering if there has been any word on fluff nest the island sky game I think was the name?

Thank you so much for this 🫶🏽🫶🏽you helped me so much.. i will not be pulling out my hair 🤣

Thank you !

Not me throwing my mouse across the room at 6:01. You can WALK ACROSS THE RIVER?!?!

Thank you!

Why i cant sell fish sticks to Sophie 😭🐟🐠

YOU deserve the world 💖💖💖

I hesitated to download this for a while, because I thought it was going to be another Stardew (which I’ve put an embarrassing number of hours into). But I’m SO happy I downloaded it. Definitely worth the money and so fun. It’s like the perfect mix of Stardew, Animal Crossing, and a dash of Sandrock

Love the game so much I’m giving the genre a try with another game but also I’m tempted to just start fresh just so I can reexperience everything and hopefully pay more attention to the character dialogue 😅 I’ve just about did all there was to do and I’m hungry for more just didn’t do to much to the ranching or fishing but without a main quest to follow I’m not motivated to grind skills for the sake of it

I played this game for the first time only 4 days ago... I played for 40hrs straight hehehe. I love the game so much that I'm now watching lots of videos like these, thank you.

Another month of going broke for these games 😂

Is Ashley biased because of cats? Let me count the ways...

Thank you for sharing these tips!!

✋Also obsessed with Fields of Mistria!! It's not even the full game yet, and it's already my favorite

Ash, I can not thank you enough! I've owned this game for days now and I was always having a hard time making some money in the game. The fish sticks helped a lot and the fact I did not know about setting the game time to "relaxed", and It made sooo much difference! It always felt rushed for me having the time set to normal, and I get frustrated sometimes that I cannot do everything I need to do within the day. Thank you so much for this wonderful guide!!!! ❤

Yeah yeah yeaaaaaaaaah! Thanks for including my game Night Stones on your list. I sincerely appreciate it and you have no idea how helpful this is. I love your vibe and I'm subbed! Lookinf forward to playing these amazing games after my release in 1 week! Eeeeeeek! 🤩

Everholm, Night Stones and Luma Island. Maybe Critter Cafe too. Thank you for the video!
