Happy New Month!

My kids all made absolutely spectacular New Year’s resolutions, and my new month’s resolution is to help them on their way with theirs. Here’s what they resolved:

Buddy (Age 5): “I want to have a barbecue.” Attainable, rewarding, and focuses on togetherness. I love it!

The Squish (Age 6): “I want to learn how to Yo-Yo.” I adore this one, because she asked for a Yo-Yo for Christmas with absolutely no idea how they work, and now that she has one she’s engaged with it fully. I’m 100% on board.

The Beansprout (Age 11): “I want to experiment with new drawing styles.” She’s a wonderful artist already, so her resolution to broaden her creative horizons is marvelous.

Once your kids have their own goals and ambitions, being a parent is wonderfully easy. Just water the plants and they’ll grow.

May every day be the start of a new adventure for you – and happy new year!
