New Habits in the New Year
Well, it’s that time again. Even if you aren’t one to make a formal resolution for the new year, the changing of the calendar is always a time to reevaluate some of our habits. There are certain areas that many of us look at improving, reevaluating, or overhauling as the new year dawns.
We often examine our health–spiritual health, physical health, and relational health.
We wonder about our responsibilities–for our children, for our earth, for our finances.
Over the next eight days, you will find new posts each day relating to these key areas. We will have informational posts and–of course–giveaways! If you are interesting in participating in any of the giveaways, you will need to comment on each individual post, but please help us spread the word by doing a post on your blog, or putting the button in your sidebar. If you don’t have a blog, you can email some friends.
Come back every day between January 1 and January 8 for new giveaways. The winners will be announced January 9. This page will be kept updated with each giveaway, but you must enter each giveaway separately that you want to win:
Our first giveaway is the Busy Body Book Family Planner.
Our second giveaway is for three Minusbags totes.
The third giveaway offers two winners a Family Dinner Box of Questions.
Our fourth post announces two contests and advice on how to Squeeze in Breakfast.
Next, we have five copies of the book Growing Friendships to give away.
Is changing your eating on your list for the year? We are giving away a copy of The Ultimate Tea Diet.
Our seventh giveaway is the book How Strong Women Pray.
Our eighth post offers some parenting encouragement and a change to win a copy of Parenting Power in the Early Years.
This contest is now closed. You can find the winners HERE.

I can’t get the code for the button to show up since I changed my template. I can copy the picture to my blog, but it doesn’t link back. I’m copying and pasting the code, but it’s not working. Can you help?
Would green tea work as well, or is the caffeine in regular tea part of the “trick”?
Tea is the only way!
