Make a Parenting Resolution!

Last year around this time, we set a goal for a super-healthy 2012. You know, change up the kids' diets with fresh fruits and veggies from the sustainable backyard garden? On the bright side, we did manage to cut down -- a wee bit -- on their boxed mac-n-cheese and chicken nugget consumption.

This year, we resolve to be more realistic. With help from the iVillage community, we're going to tweak our already-great mom efforts to make the kids -- and ourselves -- happy. No, really. Read on for do-able resolutions from real moms for 2013.
