New Year's Resolutions: Be Careful While Driving

LilSugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 09:00:00 -0800

The car isn't just a mode of transportation for mothers, it becomes a place to multitask. A convenient setting to make quick calls, munch on a bit of breakfast or to swipe on mascara at stoplights. Motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of death among children in the United States so Evenflo has launched a campaign asking mamas to do their part in making vehicles safer. As part of A Mother's Promise, they are asking women to post their pledge to their offspring (from slowing down to double checking car seat installation) on the website's wall. What will you do to ensure the safety of your children while on the road?

Mom–Me Time: My New Year's Resolutions

babysugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 09:03:45 -0800

Every new year delivers a revised set of resolutions. This year I wanted my resolutions to be something that would make me a new and improved version of myself – a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a woman. Where to begin!

But, the ones that tugged the most at me were the mother and wife ones, mostly because my husband and daughter have to deal with me every day. So here are a few of my resolutions:

The potty mouth has got to go.
Try to have more home cooked meals (or sometimes even just warm meals) on the table at a reasonable hour.
No talking on the phone while feeding my babe her dinner.
Breathe life back into old playgroups that have fallen by the wayside in recent months.
Print out pictures from my camera and put them in albums before I have a stack of hundreds collecting dust on my shelves.

What are some of your resolutions?

Tell Mommy: Your New Year's Resolution

LilSugar — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 06:00:40 -0800

I've spent the last few days of 2008, flipping my flat upside down and getting organized. I finally had some time to take the saying, "Out with the old, in with the new..." seriously. When the ball drops on Times Square tonight, the bags of giveaway goodies will be gone and I'll have a sense of space and sanity.

My hope is that the new structure and order will allow me more downtime with my kids since I won't be shuffling though closets to find my daughter's favorite hair tie or the pieces to my son's train set. What is your New Year's resolution?
