January 2, 2014
Ready or not, 2014 is here! We kicked off the New Year relaxing at home, atempting to make a new recipe, and playing games and watching the countdown. We also took time to reflect on what we hope to accomplish in 2014. I always get "do we have to?" groans, but I like for my kids to learn to set goals and write them down. Whether or not they carry this into their adult life is up to them, but I want to set an example. There are some cute goal-setting printouts on our New Year's Pinterest Board here.
At SpringfieldMoms, we're excited to be celebrating 9 years of online information and community connections to our readers. Keep spreading the word to your friends via email, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
Wishing you all a wonderful kickoff to the New Year!
Cheers!
