Today’s Resolution: Give to a Food Bank

Everyone has a local food bank, homeless shelter, or another charity that is always looking for food. Just think of all the food you throw away when you start a diet, or while cleaning out cupboards. A box of macaroni and cheese here, a can of pea soup there, it all adds up. If you have an abundance of sale items you overstocked on back when you were extreme-couponing, now’s the time to “pay it forward”.

Today’s Resolution: Send a Birthday Card

It’s so easy to post a “happy birthday” on Facebook and through text message, and so hard to buy a paper card and write it down, stamp it, and put it in the mail. I admit it. That’s why this is such a great resolution. And if you don’t know anyone with a birthday coming up immediately, use something like  TinyPrints to schedule real paper cards to send to a friend or family member when the date arrives!

Today’s Resolution: Take Your Vitamins

Time to start the week off right, and taking vitamins can help you feel your best. We’re based on the the East Coast, so during the winter months, my doctor recommends taking a Vitamin D supplement  because we tend to lack in the sunshine department. I get my daily vitamins in the full serving of Vega I have every morning, but if you don’t already have a multi-vitamin, take some time today to research the one that’ just right for you. Amanda discovered a couple years ago that she doesn’t absorb B-12 very easily and needs monthly shots if she wants to be up to par, so I’d also recommend asking your doctor what additional vitamins and supplements are right for you.

Today’s Resolution: Drink a Glass of Fancy Red Wine

You know what they say, a glass of red wine will make your heart beat longer, and if Patrick’s 97-year old grandmother has anything to say about it (as she often does), it’s definitely working for her.

Today your goal (if you drink alcohol) is to drink a glass of fancy wine. Now, fancy to you and fancy to us mean two different things.  So use your own definition.

I already know what we’ll be drinking… 2007 Eaglepoint Ranch Petite Syrah from JC Cellars in Oakland, CA. I’ll tell you why, later.

How about you? Have a favorite wine to share? Let us know in the comments.
