There are so many opportunities to make New Year’s Resolutions, and you have one now. If you’ve already blown your fresh start you made on January 1st, why not take advantage of the Chinese New Year to start over? After the jump, considerations for change. First: be honest, what do you lie about – and why? Second: do you swear in front of your children? Third: can you admit that you secretly want that hat Aretha was wearing? Fourth: Still wondering when your children are going to grasp the idea of good manners? Fifth and sixth? Curious? Go get ‘em.

I’ll admit it. I was all choked up while watching the inauguration, until I saw Aretha Franklin's hat. I was repulsed...and, yet, strangely attracted to it. Turns out I’m not alone, find out the the story behind the hat and who's trying to snag their own. (New York Daily News)
Ever wonder how to, or if you ever will, teach your children to have good manners? Get advice from two teachers who started a blog to share their educational tidbits that you can do at home. So you can up the ratio of “Please” and “Thank You” over “I want” and “Gimmmmmeee!!”too. (Eensies)
