31 Days of Fresh Starts

The start of a new year is one of my favorite times of the year. In part because I am a typical Type A that loves taking on new challenges, projects, and changes but more importantly because it gives me a good chance to become a better mother, wife, and friend. The New Year lets me mentally and emotionally shed baggage, struggles, and worries and make a fresh start in my attitude, routines, and habits. So a couple years ago to help myself and you make fresh starts, we began a series called 31 Days of Fresh Starts for Your Family. You can find each Fresh Start idea in this calendar. And throughout the month of January we post each Fresh Start idea on our Facebook page and on Twitter (follow the hash tag #freshstarts). We will also recap them in our free newsletter.

To use the calendar, simply look through all the ideas on the attached calendar and click the link to the ones that interest you.

Each Fresh Start idea is designed to encourage families to make changes in their lives and work toward becoming a better family. Whether your struggles are with parenting, communicating, clutter, or time all families have some area of their lives that need changes, improvements, and fresh starts.

31 Days of Fresh Starts for Your Family series is meant to inspire and encourage you rather than overwhelm you. Some of the fresh start ideas may not apply to your family or be a priority at this time. That is okay! Just use the ideas to help you make meaningful changes in your life that are relevant and needed. Focus on the ones that are truly needed rather than trying to do them all.

Good luck!
