Maybe it won’t take care of all of the junk mail, but I found this site on Martha Stewart called Opt Out Prescreen. You fill in your name and address (social security number and birthday are optional) and it should get rid of all the insurance, bank, and credit card offers. It seems to be legit, but I didn’t use my SS# or B-day just in case. There is also one for catalogs called, Catalog Choice. I know I throw away an awful lot of junk, so this seems like a great solution!

I Am A Copy Cat

I stole this idea from Mel’s cute post with Mammy and Pappy. Hunter and Emma thought it would be so fun to see Uncle Matt and Aunt Ashley dancing together. They are the newest couple in the family, so it’s only fair. So here it is, enjoy!

Don’t send a lame Starring You! eCard. Try JibJab Sendables!

New Resolutions

Couldn't pass this one up! It’s almost 2008, and time to start making that list of New Year’s Resolutions. I am trying to make mine a little bit difficult so that I can stretch myself, but vague enough so that I can still say I have accomplished them at the end of the year. Here they are:

–Learn Italian and get my passport. Rob and I have been saving up points for years to pay for a flight to Europe, and this may be our year. I made it my 100 Day Challenge to learn Italian, but it all sort of fizzled after about 30 days. Time to try again.

–Establish and calendar a monthly family activity. If it’s on the calendar for one Saturday each month it’s more likely to happen. (Hunter is our calendar enforcer)

–Read my new scriptures daily. After 11 years of marriage I finally got (Rob picked them out and gave them to me for Christmas) a set of beautiful scriptures with my married name on them. I thought I’d wait a decade to make sure it would stick. 😉

–Compliment each member of the family daily. This doesn’t take much time, but sometimes I get to the end of the day and wonder if my kids know how much I love them.

–Go up and down my stairs 15 times daily. Sometimes I do this anyway, but it was the only exercise thing I could think of that didn’t take too much time or preparation so I won’t have an excuse not to do it.

What is one of yours?
