How in the world did January come and go?
We started off the New Year by listing some goals. Some for ourselves and some for our family. I printed some cute "Year in Review" pages from Pinterest and we used them as a guideline. Here are a few of the highlights:

Things that I worked hard on this year are: reading, art, and dribbling [a basketball--although, one may think it was while he eats]
My goals next year are: to try to keep my temper in; read chapter books; do an art project every month
