New Year’s Resolution Revelation
Lisa - Fab Frugal Mama in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us - 4 comments - posted on Dec 31st, 2011If you’re like me, the thought of making New Year’s resolutions isn’t very appealing. In the past, I used to come up with some pretty lofty goals, only to leave them by the wayside two weeks later. So, a few years ago I resolved not to make resolutions… Continue reading
Happy New Year – to a “New” Me!
Cee in For the love of parenting, Get Inspired: Making a Difference, Just Between Us, Organized Chaos Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on Dec 31st, 2011Like most people, with the New Year upon us I’m thinking about how I’d like my life to change over the course of the next 12 months. I like setting goals, sure. But I’m easily side-tracked, de-railed and discouraged – so goal setting has always been kinda useless for me. I’m the type that if I wanna do it, I’ll just do it until it’s done. No lead up, no getting there slowly – like a bull in a china shop (as my family used to say). This year, I’m not setting goals – I’m making vows. Because I hold … Continue reading
New Years Resolutions for SMART goals
LZussino in Deal-Seeking Blogaholics - 2 comments - posted on Dec 30th, 2011At the end of every year just about every one is thinking about what the new year will bring. We put a lot of emphasize on our goals or new years resolutions and not much thought or reflection on the past year. At this time of year it is best to do both, reflect and see how we can improve then add goals! 2011 was an exciting year for GroceryAlerts.ca. We managed to turn our passions of saving money on groceries into a business as well as launching the new website BabyAlerts.ca that helps Canadian moms find the best diaper … Continue reading
Outing Santa
Julie Cole in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us - 1 comment - posted on Dec 29th, 2011Good big brothers don’t expose the Santa lie to little brothers. I spoke last year about the difficulty of outing Santa to my son. He was at an age that most kids no longer believed, so he needed to know – I didn’t want his ‘believing’ to potentially embarrass him among his peers. I took the opportunity to spill the beans about Santa to him last June. The timing was good since absolutely no one was talking about Mr. Claus. My son was shocked, but generally it went over well. I positioned it in a way that he felt a … Continue reading
Reflecting & Dreaming
Tammy @inRdream in For the love of parenting, Get Inspired: Making a Difference, Just Between Us, Uncategorized - 1 comment - posted on Dec 27th, 2011With a new year, only day’s away. I believe it’s important to take the time to reflect. Did you meet your goals for 2011? Was there an event that stands out strong among the rest? As I sit back and reflect on R amazing year, I cannot help but see how truly blessed it’s been for me! The birth of R 4th child! So amazing, healthy and beautiful! My last pregnancy, so the purge of all my maternity clothes and the goodbye, and welcome to a new stage in R lives! All the milestones R family has enjoyed as the kids climb the ladder of life. Talking, eating, sharing, … Continue reading

A Reminder this Holiday Season…
Nicole King | Domesticated Momma in New Mommy Blogaholics, Party Planning Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on Dec 23rd, 2011I shared this post on my personal blog and I feel the message is too important not to share with my fellow PTPA readers. I know a Mom when I hear one. Heck I am one. I hate to sound like one, but I feel it is important to advocate during the holiday season. Please, please, PUH-LEASE! If you are going to drink during the holiday season, please do so responsibly. Secure a designated driver. Arrange to call a taxi. Have a family member pick you up. Whatever you do… If you drink, don’t drive. Do the right thing. Be … Continue reading
