Have you resolved to have a family movie night each week? Take more time for yourself? Share your 2013 resolutions in the comments section below.
I make new resolutions every year. There's something about Jan. 1 that makes me want to start some things fresh. And usually I'm able to stick to about half of them—like giving up watermelon for the month of February or taking a nap once a week.

Employees help out, and you can, too

This past weekend, AOL and Patch employees took an opportunity to pitch in, packing two tractor-trailers worth of food, water and supplies in Dulles, VA, and Baltimore. The donations are headed to storm-ravaged areas in New Jersey and Long Island. Want to join the relief efforts?
