HERE’S TO 2012!!!

As much as it’s a little bit of a let down when the holidays are over, it’s also kind-of nice to get back to the normal routine, don’t you think? I’m a little sick of all the junk food, the Christmas songs, the mess in the house, and yes, the kids being home! I long for peace and quiet again in my home. (Is that bad?)

I also long for getting back to the gym and shedding those holiday pounds. I can’t wait to get all those decorations back into the attic. I’m ready to start working on Spring Break plans. (By the way, only 99 days until The Sister’s Trip 2012!)

But most of all, I’m SO excited to start my new adventure this year, working at Weight Watchers!!! I am officially now a WW employee and have started my training to be a leader. Just think, I have the potential to INFLUENCE PEOPLE’S LIVES. Isn’t that an amazing thing to be able to say?

So here’s my 2012 challenge to you: Influence somebody’s life this year for the better. A friend, a relative, a neighbor, a stranger, a child, or all of the above. Through words, actions, donations, however you can, whatever they need, find a way. You can do it. It doesn’t have to be huge. Lots of influences are small, yet meaningful.

Give it some thought and let me know how you’re doing.

Change is Comin'!

It's the Monday Minute! Tune-in Tuesday Debate! Wednesday Whatever. . .  Thursday Thought and Friday Funny!  

Yep, we will be attempting to be going to a new format just to bring a little order to the chaos.  We also like routine. We are, after all, moms. And you know what happens when routine gets unexpectedly blown out of the water. Well, it can all go to heck if you can't recover. 

So the Monday minute will be something short and sweet- just enough to get us going for the day.  And I've got to write it in a minute or less. (Oh, Help me!)

Tune-in Tuesday Debate- This is YOUR time to get involved. Each Tuesday we will post a question about family and kids and parenthood that will undoubtedly cause a surge of opinion. We want to hear from you! So, comment away.

Wednesday is whatever. It could be anything. you'll have to check us out to see.

Thursday Thoughts- anything from something sweet, to inspiring, to thought provoking.

Friday Funny- must read as you hear funny family stories. It will make you feel more normal. And who knows- send us your funny story and you, too, might become part of our blog.

So that's my minute for Monday.

See you tomorrow!
