    *ehem* I gave up on resolutions years ago… (I got tired of failure… ☺) I DID tell myself THIS YEAR, I WILL NOT oversleep, though… Good thing it was not a resolution, or I’d have to add it to my list of good-intentioned failures… lol

    My New School Year Resolution was to get as much done the night before (lunches/backpacks/clothes) so it wasn’t chaotic in the mornng. So far it’s been running smoothly, kids get extra sleep time and Mommy’s not stressed out!

    I’m a former teacher and Grandma now. Every school year I resolved to be more organized and to keep all of my and my son’s shiny new school supplies…well…shiny. That always lasted a few weeks.

    My New School Year Resolution is to still put in time to exercise and make my lunches the night before instead of just eatting a granola bar

    Our New School Year Resolution has been to get the boys to start making their own lunches (with supervision, of course, so it’s not full of junk food!). So far, we’re doing well with this! Sometimes, the boys are enthusiastic. Other times, it’s a little harder to get them to cooperate. But most of the time, it’s going well.

    Yes, I made a resolution that I would keep after my kids to complete their homework and not take their “word” that they completed it. So far we’ve stuck to this.

    I haven’t really made a resolution. I am working on getting my boys to have good habits such as learning good study habits and packing up their things at night so they aren’t looking for them at the last minute. For some reason, they just don’t get the packing up concept. Ugh.

    My resolution was that I would get up & cook a healthy breakfast. But with 4 kids on 4 different schedules, that hasn’t worked out as planned. They do manage to eat a healthy breakfast, I just am not cooking it:)

    Our School year resolution is to get kids to bed on TIME and be more organized in the morning. Our kids are getting older now and they push their bedtimes to an hour past . So hard to “control” this age by making them sleep. Not doing so well on this as my sleeping habits are SO bad.

    Yep, we made a New School Year Resolution to get up just a little bit earlier each morning to help get things together, and so far we’ve done it!

    I did make some resolutions and so far so good. I wanted homework finished as soon as they get home. This is going better than it did last year with just a little lagging. lol I also wanted to work on projects a little at a time instead of having to rush and do it. So far this has went well too. thank you!

    My resolution is to get my kids more interested in math! I hate math, and it’s hard to pretend not to, when I have to do math homework with them every night. My goal is to find fun and new ways to learn math, so that we can all stay interested!

    Our resolution was to make sure we read together for 20 minutes a day. We’ve done a really good job of sticking with it so far, with the exception of a few days sprinkled in here and there where other activities had to take priority. Both my girls have gotten excellent English/Reading grades so far and I think it’s because of the time we take to read together.

    Every year I make the resolution to get the kids to do their homework as soon as they get home. And this year, just like every year so far, we are scrambling last thing at night to get it done.

    I decided to get a little more organized and I’ve done it. My kids are much more involved this year in activities so I don’t have a choice. As soon as they get home with activity dates, I put them on the calendar. Helps a lot.

    Sadly you know what they say, resolutions are meant to be broken. I swore I would check homework every night but I will admit that there have been a couple of nights lately where sleep seemed to call me louder than homework

    To be more organized and yes, I’ve followed it because I have no choice – we’re down to 1 car for all of us and I have to make sure everyone is where they need to be when they need to be there.

    No official resolutions, but trying hard to stay positive when my son is being difficult about doing homework/reading. Also trying to get more organized at night so we’re not running around like crazy people in the morning.

    My new school year resolution this year was to have a snack ready for the kids when they get home and sit down and talk with them about their day every day, but then we sold our house and moved and things have been crazy, so I need to do a lot better!

    My resolution for the school year was for everyone in the house, myself included, to be asleep before 10:00 on school nights, and I’m sorry to say we’ve all broken in several times already!
