Feedback For My Next Editor's Letter

I am racing to get everything done for my January issue before Friday, so I don't have to work next week. Since we go to press on December 26th (!!!), I'm terrified I'm going to be working through Christmas. Sooo, maybe you can help me? I'm throwing together -- no, just "expediting" my article for the Editor's Letter. It's on resolutions. The focus I want to write about is that as parents it's great to have our own personal resolutions to improve ourselves, but what about picking resolutions that will improve our families? How can YOU be a better parent, aunt, uncle, friend, teacher to the children in your life?

I won't be using any names, but I need some concrete examples. If you've got anything to share, please leave a comment. THANKS!

My goal for next year is all about cooking - doing more of it and eating out less. I want to spend more time together at the kitchen table, spend less money on food, and eat healthier as a family. I also want to involve my kids more in the planning and cooking process. Wish me luck!

Last year we resolved as a family to be more active and to include a real vegetable at every dinner that we ate at home. It was a great idea- follow through wasn't so great.

Dang. I got nothing. And I feel you - oh how I HATE writing editor's letters. All my resolutions have just been individual things - this is an awesome idea to do a family one.
