New Year's Resolutions to add a little learning to your life

Happy New Year 

PHEW! I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted after a few weeks of crazy times with family and friends. I need a holiday from my holidays. But boy, wasn't it fun. Hopefully you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families, and enjoyed some celebrations to ring in the new year. Pretty much my entire December was filled with family events. We got to catch up with all of our 22 nieces and nephews, exchanged gifts, ate loads of food and played games and enjoyed each other's company!

Our Family Traditional Boxing Day Piniata

So now that we've changed the calendar on the fridge and made it to 2014, many people take the opportunity to reflect on the previous year's achievements and look forward to the prospects of the new year. At Blossom we like to do the same.

2013 was a huge year for us. The website had a makeover, I launched my book "Learning that's Fun", I attended the Pro-Blogger Event in Queensland, the Facebook Page and Website audience grew exponentially to the point where we needed to expand our team of contributors online, and we ran the most amazing 12 Days of Christmas Event! So needless to say, I'm pretty excited about the prospects of 2014.

Resolutions for Learning

But what about you? How about your family? What will you do this year? Big or small? What changes can you make in 2014 to add a little learning to your everyday life? How can you help your kids basque in the wonder of exploring the world?

We've put together a list of 15 resolutions you can do. Do one or do them all.

1. Read everyday (you, the kids, out loud, just do it)
2. Start a weekly games night (not electronic games)
3. Join the local library
4. Create a kids homework area
5. Cook / Bake together
6. Plant a veggie garden
7. Purchase only educational gifts this year
8. Read Learning that's Fun
9. Make a swear jar - kids copy, don't blame them for your language
10. Eat dinner at the table together
11. Join a club - scouts, dance, knitting, whatever takes your fancy
12. Keep a 2014 Family Journal
13. Make healthy eating a family affair
14. Be kind to the environment and upcycle whatever you can! Get creative.
15. Watch more family comedies - laughter is the best medicine
