I feel that I am so busy with my daily routine and taking care of the kids and the household responsibilities that I tend to forget how soon Rosh Hashana and Yom kippur are coming. So besides for the cooking aspects, waht do you do differently this month? Take on something extra? Daven more? Give more Tzeddaka? I would love to get some inspiration.

Have you been going to shiurim? Learning?

Feeling guilty that I am not. I put a sefer on the topic in my bag and try to learn it on the bus when I am not falling asleep....

Very nice idea for a thread.
I´m trying to be more careful with giving tzedaka, me and the kids. I´m trying to concentrate a little more on my davening. I´m also trying to work on being b´simcha. Focusing on all the good Hashem gives me and the fact that He gives us chodesh elul, "melech basade" a time that Hashem is so close, we only need to reach out and make a step.

Learning definitely sounds good too. Good luck in using this time well!

I'm trying to work on myself and my patience which will help both my husband and children.

I found a site www.naaleh.com which has good shiurim I am listening to -- I find it helpful.
