Happy New Year!

Graedon and I welcoming in 2013!  I love his expression.

The excitement and "clean slate" feeling of welcoming in a new year is something I look forward to after the craziness of Christmas.  It is so new and fresh, and it makes me want to conquer so much.  Now, I don't know how long this feeling normally lasts, but it is fun to live in the moment with it.  Maybe someone should ask me how I feel a month from now!  :)

 

I only have one main resolution or goal as I start 2013, and that is to speak kinder to my kids...I want to choose my words and not be so quick to snap at them or make them feel that I am not interested in what they have to say.  It has been something that has been weighing on my heart, and I am going to keep this goal in my mind everyday.  My boys are my world, and I want them to feel that from me.  

I have other small goals in mind, but this is the ONE that I want to write down and commit to with my whole heart.  My boys deserve the best of me (as well as my husband), and I know that I can do this.

Do you have any goals that you want to share?
