New Year, New Changes

So the new year brings new changes... just a few for us are these... As a family we are challenging ourselves to not drink sodas for a whole year to join my hubby who's already been at it since mid 2009! Yesterday we took the kids to eat Chinese food and we all had tea or lemonade it was great! I think i may be t if one struggling the most with it though having the kids in on it is helping a lot! Another change we started last night was a staggered bedtime for school nights... Ruth in bed at 8, next thirty min later and so on. So by who's ten John and i have some quiet time and if he's awake we can talk:) Last night went great and Ruth slept all night { big grin } which was a huge added bonus! Alas the winter breakup has come to an end and we start school once again ... who's wishing one more week harder the kids or me? We shall press on and accomplish the week before a glorious weekend to come details later!
