It’s just days away. The day that we promised that we would turn a new leaf and __________! There are about a million ways to end that sentence.  From a promise to exercise more, read more, spend less time on the phone, take grandma out to lunch more, the resolutions are out there.  Beginning January2nd, you will commit to manageable resolutions that will make you a Smarter Mama – in health, in family life and in your home – with SmartMamaLUTION!  You will greet each day with a new resolution that will take you no more than 10 minutes to begin and maintain.  You will do this for you.  You will do this for your family.

What kinds of resolutions?

• Yes, you will drink 8 glasses of water…but you will do so using new tools to make it easier.
• Yes, you will not look like a shlep every day, by learning easy quick up-dos to make that BORING ponytail work more for you!  (I REALLY need to follow this one!)
• Yes, you will not make the same darn meal AGAIN, by learning a number of easy, minimal ingredient recipes!
• Yes, you will make your spice cabinet actually work for you by making it more functional and organized!
• And much, much more!
