I’ve read a lot of bloggers who have chosen “words” or “themes” for the new year. I couldn’t really think of one until today, the last day of Christmas Break, when I took some pictures of the kids playing in the snow.
Fun.
Fun is my theme for the new year. It’s in my name, and I’m going to embrace it. That doesn’t mean I’m necessarily going to go play in the snow while I’m sick (ahem, today), but it does mean that I’m going to work on having more fun with my kids, having more fun with my friends, having more fun with my husband. Letting my kids have more fun (hello, loosening up!).
From summer bucket lists to impromptu play dates to cocktail lunches with the girls to more mini golf with my man, I’m having fun this year, dammit.
Linking up with Melanie at Only A Breath and Nicole at Sisters From Another Mister.
Fantastic! Fun a la funkified!
Haha, YES!
Fun puts the Hood back in Parenthood. We make much better adults when we take the duct tape off our inner child. Go for it!
This is my favorite comment!
Your word is way funner than my word. I like it.
Haha! Thanks. 🙂
So cute and a perfect choice to theme this year!!
Thanks! Because, why not, right?
That is a perfect word to choose.
I think so, too!
I'm all in for fun! Gorgeous pics!
Yay! We can all have fun together/ 😀
Fun is always a good thing to have. Good luck and wishing you a fun-filled year!
Thanks, Susi! You too!
Adorable pictures. I love the fun! You go with your bad self. Happy New Year!
Haha, thanks, Angela! You know you're my "fun" inspiration!
These pictures so a TON of fun! And I love that this is your word for the year. Enjoy it and Happy New Year, sweet friend!
Thanks, Elaine! I'm already having more fun. 😀
YES!!! Love it! I've read many posts about the one word – yours is my favorite by far.
HAVE FUN!
Awesome, thanks! You too!
I think that sounds like a perfect word for the year! Here's to having FUN. Also, stunning photos! I love the one with the snow flying around. My little guy is really enjoying throwing the snow this year.
I think it's a good word, too! And thanks! Snow pictures are fun. 😀
I love it! It goes along with my theme of stop being lame! Stop being a lame friend, mom and wife and have fun!
Haha, that's great! Definitely both good ways to live out 2013.
My sister got us a board game for Christmas and we have played it till we could not breathe we were laughing so hard at it. I will have to post videos of the games. But I agree we all need to have more fun.
That is AWESOME. It's hard to not take yourself seriously as an adult, but if that's all you do, life is boring. Right?
Love your pictures! So cute! I have to say snow is not my favorite thing,…but kids sure make it fun! 🙂 New follower!
Thank you, Sadie! I'm not a fan of snow anymore either. But I love to watch the kids play in it!
Me too!! And that first picture is gorgeous. Definitely frameworthy.
Yay for fun! And thanks! For some reason, Essie, with her blond hair and colorful clothes, always takes a good snow picture.
Love it! I saw you are going to blissdom too. Lots of fun to be had there!:)
Yes! It'll be my second year and I'm so excited!
Hi Greta!! I clicked on your blog from the BlissDom FB page! 🙂 That is a good word for 2013! My word is "Relax"… my goal is just to loosen up and enjoy the moment a little more! Hope I can stick to it. lol.
Oooh, so we sort of have the same goal for the year! Awesome!
[…] I love this post from Gfunkified. She’s funky with a capital G. And she’s claiming some fun for […]
I love fun but I think my word would be patience this year. I'm working on being more patient!
Good word. Sometimes hard to follow through because of all the things a mom MUST do. But great challenege! I wanna do that one word thing too. Where do I get it?
Many physical activities and individual sports are regarded as fun until the participant seeks to win a competition, at which point, much of the fun may disappear as the individual's focus tightens. Thanks.
