Parents can instill a sense of setting goals and how to reach those goals by helping their children make New Year’s Resolutions. The first step to make this a successful process is to make your own New Year’s Resolution that you know you can accomplish (but, still have to work toward). If the children see you ‘give up’, then that is what they will learn.

Yesterday, we discussed ways that you can accomplish your New Year’s resolutions. These are the same methods that you can teach your children to use for their own goals. Once a goal is reached, a celebration is certainly in store.

Here are some kid-friendly New Year’s Resolutions:

• Make bed every day

• Stop biting fingernails

• Eat more vegetables

• Say Yes instead of Yeah (Yes mam & Yes sir are even better!)

• Clean up own dishes after dinner without being asked

There are a multitude of resolutions that your children can set as goals. Keep them age appropriate and realistic. You do not want them to be discouraged. Each year their New Year’s resolution can be a little harder to attain, but should never be unrealistic.

Setting and accomplishing New Year’s resolutions will help your children with smaller goals throughout the year. They will learn what it takes to be successful, and in some cases how to handle failure. Both are excellent lessons they will need throughout their lives!

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
~ Winston Churchill

While New Year’s resolutions are abundant, keeping a New Year’s resolution is another story.

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”
~~
Oprah Winfrey

Yesterday we spoke of American statistics on New Year’s resolutions. Today we want to give suggestions on keeping a New Year’s resolution alive. We will use the goal of losing weight as an example, since that it is one of the top resolutions made by Americans each year.

BE REALISTIC You may want to lose 50 pounds in 3 months, but your New Year’s resolution can be to simply make better choices of foods that you eat.

BE SPECIFIC Write down your resolution and list specific items you will do to reach that goal.

• Cook/Order grilled or baked foods, not fried.

• Eat 3 servings of vegetables/fruit every day.

• Eat a nice size salad before lunch and dinner (hopefully you will eat less of the rest of the meal).

• It is nice to eat less fast foods, but for some people that is not realistic. Therefore, simply make better choices of fast foods.

TEAM UP

• Find someone else with a similar resolution and work as a team: someone who wants to lose weight, exercise more, decrease their fried food intake, etc.

• Team up with co-workers on eating healthier lunches whether eating in or out of the office.

• Team up as a family on making better food choices and playing at the park more (the kids will love that last one).

A New Year’s resolution is made to be achieved! If you have not thought of a resolution this year*, then find someone who has and be on their team.

With all great accomplishments it is the little things that will get you there. So, make your resolution and set up your alliances early in the year. By focusing on the little things you will accomplish your New Year’s resolution before you know it!

Tomorrow we will discuss helping your children make a New Year’s resolution!

*Friday we will suggest some New Year’s resolutions that you may not have thought of!

Did you make a New Year’s resolution this year

???

It is estimated that approximately 45% of adult Americans make at least one resolution each year…

after the first week of January, 75% of those whom made a resolution are still on track.

Here are the most common resolutions:

• Lose weight:

Accompanied by eating healthier and exercising more.

• Stop a bad habit:

Such as drinking, smoking, etc.

• Improve Finances!

Two weeks after January the percentage of Americans still working on their New Year’s resolution is 71%, and after one month 64%.

Here are a few more common resolutions:

• Better job: Many people are unhappy with their employment and seek a better position.

• Better education: Go back to college for more education, or improve grades in current classes.

• Volunteer/give to charities: The holidays bring many news stories about the needs of others.

• Plan a trip/vacation: Whether alone or with the family a vacation is always a nice goal to have!

You may want to set your goals for early in the year because…

six months after January only 46% of us are still trying to complete our resolution.

So how are you planning to stick to your resolution? Tomorrow we will provide some suggestions to help us all stick to our New Year’s resolution!

Inviting Smiles would like to wish all of our customers and families a

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

***************

This year we have enjoyed creating new and unique birth announcements, party invitations, religious occasion cards and, most recently, holiday cards for many of your 2011 events.

It is with absolute gratitude that we have watched many of our customer’s children grow year after year through photo birthday invitations.

Have you been craving chocolate?

It turns out that chocolate is liked by so many people that there are several days to honor this loved treat.

December 28th and December 29th are both National Chocolate Day. With further research you will find that October 28th is also celebrated as National Chocolate Day. All three of these dates are posted on the National Confectioners Association website where they have a list of Candy Holidays.

Now please do not confuse National Chocolate Day with International Chocolate Day which is on September 13th. Or, for that matter, with American Chocolate Week which is the week of March 3rd.

OH my goodness! We Americans do like our chocolate.

Here are a few chocolate facts:

• 1765 – The first chocolate factory in America was built.

• 1941-1945 – Chocolate bars were a part of the World War II Soldiers’ rations. More than a billion ration bars were produced by Hershey’s for the troops.

• Today - Americans consume on average 2.8 billion pounds of chocolate per year.

Thank goodness for chocolate!

My favorite ‘form’ of chocolate is chocolate cake at birthday parties! What is your favorite chocolate treat? Leave us a comment and let us know.

Christmas morning brings so much joy to families around the world!

There will be many photos taken. What will your children be wearing?

Some families have a tradition of dressing their children in matching pajamas.

In our family, grandma always gives the children matching pajamas a few days before Christmas. She enjoys seeing all the photos of the kids on Christmas morning in their new p.j.’s. This is a fun way to celebrate and it makes for some adorable photos!

Don’t forget the pet…

What are some of your Christmas morning traditions?

It is estimated that 40 percent of people will be doing their Christmas shopping this week. Some shoppers may have purposely procrastinated as they waited for stores to lower their prices as low as they will go. There are many discounts available, so be sure to shop around!
