Happy New Year! Did you make any New Year's resolutions this year? I thought it would be fun to ask our youngest friends that question. I was curious to know what kind of self-made promises our children were making to better themselves and the world at large. So I posted that very question to my mom friends and on the Canadian Living facebook page. The following are cute, fun & inspiring responses from a few of the special little people we share our world with.
