If you want your family to have an amazing year ahead, this episode will give you some practical tools to help make that happen!  Emily Ley -- owner of Simplified Planners, best-selling author, and dedicated mom -- is with us to offer 5 ways to kick-start an amazing year ahead. (Personally,) I am a fan of starting off the new year slowly – taking my time to set goals and develop a vision for the new year. Whether you catch this episode in January or later in the year, the good news is, God’s mercies are new every morning, and we can always regroup for a fresh start!   Check out Emily’s beautiful new journal, Sure as the Sunrise: 100 Morning Meditations on God’s Mercy and Delight in show notes!
