the real new years resolutions!
Last week the kids started back to school! A brand new school year! Lots of possibilities. Lots of hopes. Lots of excitement. It got me thinking about the parallels of New Years Eve and School Years Eve. New Years resolutions and School Years resolutions. If you have read my earlier winter blogs, you know that I am ANTI new years resolutions in January. It's cold. I'm tired. My house is … [Read more...] about the real new years resolutions!
