A Change is Gonna Come!

Posted by Caryn Bailey Leave a Comment

It’s been almost 18 months and I still have not lost the baby weight.  I never imagined being at least 13 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight at this point in my life.  One of the reasons I know the weight has not come off is my lack of consistent exercise.  I resolve to make aerobic exercise a priority in the new year.  Now of course having Wii Fit in my house would make it soooo convenient to work out at home.  But regardless of whether or not my santa hubby delivers, I have a gym membership and I’m determined to use it come January.  

2009 is all about change!  The most important change I’d like to make is rearranging my priorities.  Work, household chores, and even blogging will always be works in progress.  But my family…my husband and my son….they are my priority.  I always need to step back from the chaos and busyness of my life and remember that regular, quality time with both of them is most important.

Every year at this time, people reflect on the days that have gone before them.  There is something refreshing about a new year.  New beginnings and opportunities are on the horizon.  How will you “get your act together” this upcoming year?  Other parents are talking over at the Parent Bloggers Network this weekend.  And if you head on over, you may just win a $250 Target gift card courtesy of Big Tent.

Here is a little bit of information regarding Big Tent:  

 BigTent is the online home for trusted groups. BigTent hosts nearly 1,000 parent-led groups – including play groups, moms clubs, group blogs (like the Silicon Valley Moms) and even PTAs – on a completely free and easy to use web platform. Leading these groups can be a three ring circus – but BigTent simplifies group management while providing a one stop shop for everything members need.

BigTent is partnering with Compass Life and Business Designs CEO and founder, Kimberly Fulcher, to offer a special “Get your act together for 2009″ promo. For any group leaders who start a group on or move to BigTent by December 31, Compass will provide a free one month membership ($19 value) to Compass Coaching Network, and all new group leaders will be entered in a grand prize drawing for a “Life Makeover” private coaching series ($1500 value). Groups must be of at least ten members.
