January is the start of a brand new year, which means a full 12 months of adventures are just waiting to unfold. Be it birthdays, road trips, school trips, grocery trips, hikes to plan, new paths to explore or memories to be made -- the possibilities are endless.

Let's embrace the potential of 2016 with renewed energy and excitement. This year, let's look beyond lofty resolutions and start small.

This month, a lot may happen, and even more may NOT, but we're going to make an effort to try ONE new thing we've always wanted to do together as a family.

You guessed it! "One New Thing" is the theme of this month's storytelling prompt!

Share your photos and stories inspired by the theme "One New Thing" by using the hashtag #FamilyTrailsTales on Instagram.

Throughout the month, we will highlight your submissions on our social media channels and feature an end-of-month roundup right here on FamilyTrails.com.

Miss the last roundup? Our December round-up was recently posted. The stories and images submitted by Family Trails families made us smile from ear to ear.
