Happy New Year! Though I'm not always great at keeping them, I'm a big believer in setting resolutions. I have set many this year. Among them: give up sugar (this has been harder than I'd like to admit), run a half marathon with my dad, and do a better job appreciating the little things in my life. At the top of my list though, is a resolution about your kids.

I spent the last half of 2013 absolutely enchanted, inspired, and entertained by them. My resolution for this year is to make sure, as the months go by, that novelty never wears off. I want to always appreciate their passion, energy, and curiosity and continue to be entertained by their stories and comments. They make my life brighter and, as we begin a new year, I'm grateful for them.

I hope your 2014 is off to a wonderful start!
