SacMom - > I give and I give and I give... -> Resolutions Smesolutions
Resolutions Smesolutions

One of my favorite after Christmas activities is breaking open the new calendar planner and filling in all the stuff for the next year.  It's been a crazy couple of months for our family schedule and Home Daddy and I are looking forward to a little down time this winter. 

Planning is my favorite thing.  I'm a list girl and if you come to my house you'll find them everywhere including the ones my daughters have made - I know, I know it drives Home Daddy nuts!  We are definitely a family that thrives on structure and planning...but we love to dream and imagine so we have outlets for that too!

Tonight, instead of resolutions, we'll make our dream collages like we have done for the past few years.  We grab old magazines and printed images from the internet and we cut, paste and dream of all the things we want to do, be or accomplish this year.  The kids do a great job with photos of favorite vacations they want to take again, places they want to see, pictures of food they want to cook, etc.  

This year I want to make a family one too - for our collective goals, dreams and wishes.  The main things we've been discussing lately are the environment, respecting each other and standing up for what you believe.  I've already collected a couple things for this collage and hope the girls can add to it.

I'm looking forward to 2008 - I know it will be a great year!  For our family, hopefully it will be one of less consumerism, more fun and more joy.

Happy New Year!

I think that's a GREAT idea. I've also done collages like that for the last few years, but only me. Having a teen boy and a gamer daddy, they weren't as into the idea. I like the idea of a family collage. I think I may force the boys to do one with me tomorrow. Since it's my b-day, they can't say no! Hahahah!!! (Sneaky evil laughter).

Happy New Year!
