We are almost a week into 2018, yet I am still editing, finalizing and procrastinating on my New Year’s Resolutions. Many have already juiced and cleansed. Some have worked out for five consecutive days. And few have vowed to never drink wine again (good for you!).
While I am still ironing out the details of some of my personal resolutions e.g. more vegetables in my diet, and save money for a European vacation, (and perhaps procrastinate less!) I am pretty crystal clear on what I want to improve on in 2018 as a mother and hopefully lasting changes as an overall parent. Here are my top 4 Mom-o-lutions:
I am like the paparazzi when it comes to my kids. Whether they’re scoring a soccer goal, eating ice cream, building a sand castle, making a silly face, or simply just breathing, I am constantly taking their photos. Yet, when I looked back in the last years photo reel, there were so few photos of me with my kids. And I wish I had more. Ten years from now, I want to be able to reminisce and share these moments with my children...regardless if I have no make up on or I am in my ragged sweatpants. Often times we care too much about what we look like, but through the lens of our children, they could care less!
It’s easy to get immersed on social media feeds, text message chains, and unread emails. I am often guilty losing precious moments staring at my screen rather than listening to my kids’ banter of legos and sharks. And often times I question, if the roles were reversed, “Would I be annoyed with me?” The answer is an obvious yes. So I am making more of a conscious effort this year to unplug, put my phone down, and listen and play with my kids. It won’t be long before they get lost on their own devices, so it’s better to cherish these moments now as well as set a good example for phone etiquette.
My kids are very fortunate to have Grandparents who spoil them every birthday and Christmas with toys. However, I think it’s important to remind my kids that getting out into the world and experiencing moments are far more memorable than toys and tangible items. So whether we go out on local hikes, ice cream dates or worldly vacations, I want my kids out and about living life. These are the moments that I hope they will remember and cherish. Not that they were given the latest Ninjago lego set.
Despite the fact that my boys are 21 months apart, they are two completely different children. They have their own unique needs and desires and I tend to overlook this and treat them as if they were one person. So in an effort to foster their individual needs, I vowed in 2018 to carve 1:1 time with each of my kids. Whether it is 20 minutes of coloring in a different room in the house, a movie date night, or a coffee/hot chocolate break at Starbucks, I am going to give them their intimate time with Mom.
I am very happy to get this information from your site. Thanks for sharing the information and suggestions they amazing.

The history of finger biometry was initiated in the late nineteenth century by scientist Francis Galton. Since then, it has grown tremendously thanks to a large team of geneticists and biologists. In 1880, Henry Faulds made the argument for the amount of fingerprint RC (Ridge Count) to assess the degree of fingerprint dependence on the genes.
ReplyDeleteThe scientists claim that fingerprints are formed under the influence of the genetic system of the fetus inherited and the impact of the environment through the vascular system and the nervous system located between the dermis and the expression the cover. Some of these effects are oxygen supply, nerve formation, the distribution of sweat glands, the development of epithelial cells. Interestingly, although there is a common genetic system Hereditary but fingerprints on the ten fingers of each individual individual. In 1868 the scholar Roberts pointed out that each finger had a different micro-growth environment; In addition, the thumb and index finger suffers from some additional environmental effects. So fingerprints on the top ten fingers of a different individual. The twin brothers (sisters) with fingerprint eggs are quite similar but still can distinguish fingerprints of each person. This is because although they have the same genetic system and share the same developmental environment in the womb, but because of their different position in the womb, their micro environment is different and therefore has different fingerprints. together.
