Dear Children,

I don't know if you will get my gene for appreciating things like Mondays, January and lists. To me they are a new start and really motivate me to do more. Your dad just started to get into the spirit of that this January. We have made some new family goals like meal planning, getting better prepared for emergencies, and doing what is best for our family. We got a HUGE calendar and have been keeping track of schedules as well as planning lunches and dinners for the month. It has been so nice and has helped the stress level SO much! I hope to instill in you a desire to be a planner and to use that to your advantage so you can enjoy life more!
