Rethinking Resolutions: Setting goals one month at a time
Emily posted this back in January 2012 but it's good to revisit as we head into a new year. Enjoy! New Year's Resolutions. Blah blah blah. Even if you started January off with a bang, we're 12 days in. Which is more than enough time to fizzle out and fall back into your old habits. In college, I worked at a gym for three years.

By the time February rolled around, we were back to our regular group. I'm in the same boat. I always love the promise and purpose of setting resolutions. I Keep Reading

Setting Manageable and Measurable New Year’s Resolutions
Guest Post by Kari Patterson We sat on her couch as I recounted my parenting woes. The more I dumped the more I felt overwhelmed. Little things, seemingly unrelated, heaped verbally into the air until I sat in a thick fog of my own creation. I shook my head and looked at her. Where do I start? Her simple response became my guiding principle for resolutions since. Pick one thing, and the rest will fall into place. Pick one thing. She explained that usually all behavioral issues have the same – or at least a similar – root. By simply picking one thing you create a manageable plan, and as you conquer one particular area you inevitably notice Keep Reading
