Our (my, but I can't do it alone) main resolution is to simplify our lives by decluttering. I know I've said that before... but we are both unorganized and scatterbrained, so I feel like if I could choose one area of our lives that would effect all the others, this would be it. We would save money and time and energy by not having so much stuff! And being able to find the important stuff we have! I'm hoping to fit in a date night soon so we can really make some goals and hard plans... cause baby is only 18 weeks away!

Yesterday the toothpaste moved from the kids' bathroom to a kitchen cupboard (thanks to a post by Tammy a while back) because I caught Melia with a mouthful of it... just because she liked it. (Another reason they really shouldn't make it taste so good...) Thankfully, she hadn't swallowed any of it, but she really had a lot in there. After reiterating to Gabe this particular event, he said "She needs a swat every time she forgets to think." I thought that was awesome... Although if you have any suggestions about lack of "thinking" punishments/consequences, I'd love to hear them. I was completely lost as to how to respond to this incident, since she knows not to swallow the toothpaste... and while Gabe's thought was accurate, we totally recognize that sometimes swatting is not the answer. (Emphasis on sometimes :-)

I concur on the whole issue of things tasting too good when they are not to be consumed...seeing as how that's how I ended up OD'ing on children's Tylenol when I was little ;) In all fairness to my parents, though, it was in a childproof container, and I did climb a bookshelf to get to it...
