Happy Tuesday, Monmouth County! We’re officially deep enough into the New Year that the resolutions are getting…flexible. The gym motivation is fading, the “dry January” math is being reconsidered, and somehow it already feels like we deserve a reset on the reset.

If you’re still holding strong, congrats. If not, you’re in very good company.

On the docket:

• Paws and Poses: Puppy Yoga Class in Hazlet

• Wonder Wing Story Time at Monmouth Museum

• Ocean Grove’s Fresh Farmers Market

• Power Bottom Comedy Show Hits Porta This January

• Live Music Lowdown

Paws and Poses: Puppy Yoga Class in Hazlet

Get ready to stretch, smile, and maybe get a little slobbered on. Puppy Yoga is coming to Hazlet Township! Join the class on Saturday, January 24 at 12:30 PM for a unique and heartwarming yoga class at Hazlet Township Recreation.

Doggy Noses & Yoga Poses combines the joy of yoga with the cuddles of adorable rescue puppies from 3 Hearts 4 Paws. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or a total beginner, the puppies bring an extra dose of joy and make every pose more fun and memorable.

Don’t miss out on this paws-itively delightful experience. Grab your spot in the link below and get ready to say “namaste” with a wagging tail nearby.

Wonder Wing Story Time at Monmouth Museum

Weekday mornings get a fun upgrade with Wonder Wing Story Time at Monmouth Museum. Taking place Tuesdays through Fridays at 11:00 AM, this low-key, high-fun program is perfect for kids 6 and under and the adults along for the ride.

Each session features a group story time, followed by a themed craft in the Arts & Crafts Room tied to the museum’s weekly themes. It’s just enough structure to feel like an “activity,” with plenty of room for imagination, creativity, and a little mess.

A solid excuse to get out of the house, fuel some creativity, and head home with a proud little artist and their latest masterpiece.

Ocean Grove’s Fresh Farmers Market

Turns out winter didn’t cancel the farmers market, it just moved it indoors and told everyone to dress warmer. The Winter Fresh Farmers Market is back in Ocean Grove, proving that fresh bread, local goodies, and strong coffee are very much a year-round thing.

Stop by on January 11 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM to browse a lineup of local vendors, seasonal produce, baked goods, and specialty finds. It’s perfect for restocking your fridge or casually wandering while holding something warm.

Same friendly market energy, just with boots instead of sandals and zero pressure to enjoy the cold for too long. An easy weekend win if you’re craving something fresh, local, and way more fun than another grocery store run.
