My Word

Greeting cards have all been sent...the Christmas rush is through...
{I love that song by the Carpenters.}


Christmas was really wonderful! Here is a shot of Molly on Christmas Day at Grandma's house having her turn with her cousin's Nintendo 3 DS.


She had on the cutest little plaid dress with a Scottie dog. Paired with white tights and her little Maryjane shoes — she looked adorable!


As we move close to a new year, I've been thinking about my word for 2013. Read more about choosing your word here.

I've picked a word for the last four years now. My past words have included simplify, balance, live. I think I picked balance twice, since I was a new {working} mom and it was very fitting for my new life.

So thinking about what I want more of this year in my life, oddly enough the word less came to mind.

Less stress.

Less debt.

Less stuff.

Less worry.

Less clutter.

Less fighting.

Doing more, with less.

Cooking and preparing meals with less trips to King Kullen. If we are missing one item or want something in particular with our meal, we don't usually just "get by" or "make it work" {in the words of Tim Gunn}, we run up the block to King Kullen. It kinda gets annoying.


And so, my word for the next year is

Paige, I love your word! Less is perfect. I also would like to pair down and give up certain things. Less worry and debt would be nice, too. Thanks so much for linking your word up to my word of the year link party! Oh, Molly looks so adorable in her little plaid dress :) Happy New Year! x
