New Year's Resolutions: Moms Talk

There's something about a pristine, unmarked calendar that is exciting.

The possibilities of what each day could bring, how this coming year is going to be awesome.

Today, let's talk about the fresh start that comes with a new year.

What changes would you like to make this year, in yourself or as a parent?

What are you going to be working on as a family this year? Perhaps it's having more suppers at home, or handling organized activities better. Or maybe it's helping your children become more responsible in home and at school as they get older.

Share your experiences and tips for making changes stick.
