Interesting New Year 2019 Resolutions From Parents

I close my eyes trying to capture an impression, an image of 2018. It brings up a happy face more than often, of course, my son's happy and smiling face. Being a mum to a boy, who's truly active, imaginative, empathetic and playful is a gift, and I think in that sense 2018 has been blissful. While I look back at 2018, I remember a few challenges more than the others and how I and my family tackled those. 2018 was a mixed bag and it's time now to start looking ahead towards 2019. I thought of making my 2019 resolution, and then like a child, I got curious to ask my fellow parents of their New Year resolution. One thing led to the next and here I am with this endearing and heart-warming collection of New Year resolutions from my fellow parents.
