Did you pick your “one word” as a part of your New Years Resolutions? I’m sharing what word I picked and why on Less Cake, More Frosting today. Yay! I love Lara and loved writing my post about why I chose my word. Make sure to check it out!

Aren’t these ideas cute to incorporate your word into every day life?

- Your Home Based Mom’s word of the year pillow
I took it one step further and made a wallpaper in Photshop for my phone:

What is your ONE WORD? Why did you choose it?





























My one word is: MAINTAIN. I picked it mainly to maintain organization, but it really works for so many other things in my life. MAINTAIN BALANCE. MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS. MAINTAIN FOCUS.
Thanks so much for inspiring the “one word for the year” idea. It was a source of conversation w/my friends on new years eve. And I also mentioned it on one of my posts (clutter counter confession). Also shared your resolution sheets w/a link on my “one more new years idea” post.
Thanks again for the inspiration!

My word is persist. I am tired of being discouraged and not finishing. This year will be different.
My word is progress, but it is actually part of the phrase “progress not perfection”.
i think the general theme for my new years resolution is “practice” as in daily… yoga, art, craftsmanship, mummyhood, family, you name it, it can be better through practice.
LOVE the new design! And as you already know, I am going wordless this year!! When you paint words for a living, picking one word is , well, impossible! xo
Thanks Kristi!! You are hilarious. I can see how that’d be a problem trying to figure out what word to use. Although you could design the COOLEST sign with your word. ;) Your welcome for adding to your list…..xo
I love your word for the year. Especially since it’s a leap year which happens to be my birthday. I think I may have to “steal” your word!!
Where have you been? just found you and can’t remember how because I am just taking in all of your amazing projects, photos and the blog layout is amazingly fresh. New follower.. can you tell.

Oh my gosh — my word is also LEAP!
Last year my word was courage and I wore lisa leonard necklace most of the year!! This year I was waiting for me word to leap out at me and it did! I worked on courage last year –but now it must be a year of action, accepting mistakes and growing. Thank you for your inspiration!
