"I'm going to get out and socialize with friends and my husband more. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so my focus has been on my baby for the past year almost exclusively. We've never left him overnight and really only four times with family." -- caseycritchley

"I want to attend music classes with my son, and do my best to keep my little man healthy and happy and get him walking and talking!" -- buzzbee24

"I resolve to lose the last 15 pregnancy pounds, learn healthy recipes for my daughter, maximize my free time to enjoy with my daughter and organize her pictures." -- leah2b

"I want to stop getting upset by things that don't matter." -- kalette

"I want to keep breastfeeding until September." -- Kadyra

"I'm trying to keep myself focused on keeping my career going part-time, while staying home with my baby most of the time. My long-term goal is to start an in-home preschool when she's about three. I also work in a spa on the weekends, and I would like to stay busy there and keep up with continuing education." -- ljanette85

"To stop cursing. I need to clean up my mouth (and my husband's!) before my baby's first word is f*ck!" -- singingirl96
