People fuss & fuss every year cause so many people make “New Year Resolutions”. I actually love when people do this why not ? It gives you a new outlook & makes the new year more anticipated. If you miss the mark hey its okay at least you tried !
My # one resolution for this year is: STOP TAKING EVERYTHING SO PERSONAL. I never used to be this fragile and here lately it’s worse !! This is a major flaw for me !! It’s like with my co workers and people that I dont know very well I take everything they say to personal. It’s like maybe they did mean something by what they said but why do I care that much ??? I over worry about my job and what was said @ work, and in general need to toughen up !! How am I gonna do this ???? I have no idea except make a point to let it not bother me and give my self pep talks…
One word for the New Year mine is ME yep that’s my word I want to focus more on me and do more for me and take a little more me time !! Sounds a little selfish I suppose but I need it and will not neglect any of my other duties !! So here’s to ME & the more I take care of ME I can’t take care of the one’s I live better.
MY MOOD/INSPRATION BOARD FOR 2016:
What am I doing this New Years Eve ??? Have me and my family a little party matching shirts and all. Yes I’m only 31 but I have no desire to bring in my new year drunk I have had enough hangovers for us all believe me.
Follow along in the fun…
Fancy Cucumber & Lavender water for us can’t wait to try it.
POP the Champagne !!! Matching amazing shirt for me and my daughter
Shiny Fake tattoos & cute photo props.
Confetti & prize poppers for the kiddos to have fun and make a mess while @ it.
Shiny Tassle fun !!
Now I bet this is something you may not have heard of yet !! Key work being yet cause its simply genius. Have a few to many glasses of wine?, Going to a party?, Have a wedding to go to?, etc… Im telling you get a few of these to have in your purse or car.
That Little Black Box:
Lip Balm.
Band Aids.
Nail Polish Remover Pad.
Make Up Remover Pad.
Tylenol.
Hair Tie.
Mint.
Bobby Pins.
Green Tea.
And don’t even tell me y’all haven’t needed ALL that and badly ! I am now giving these as neat fun gifts. And only $10 even if you don’t crash @ someone else’s place and get totally wasted this is still soooo needed and would be great for bachlortte gifts.
Happy New Year !!!! I love you all !!!
Thanks so much for coming by my little blog it means so much !!! Please tell me you goals for this year & your ONE word for this year.
Loved this post! My New Years was boring but I totally could have made it fun like you did! How was the sparking cucumber and lavender water? Sounds delicious. And your little black box is genius! .
Happy New Year! Looks like you had a great party. I stopped making resolutions years ago. I felt like it was just too much stress. In 2016 I have goals as I am currently going through a divorce and plan to make a lot of life changes this year.
I love the matching shirts and the confetti poppers! So fun! Happy new year! 🙂
New year…another chance to go again
Really loved your blog ? You are super creative and your daughter is gorg!! I also have a problem with taking things way too personal. However, that will be stopped. Hope you have an amazing New Year ?

I love the fun way you laid this out
I’m loving your shirts! I think I should work on not taking everything so personally too, I can’t help it. Happy new year!
Looks like you will have a fab year. Cucumber water sounds lovely!
I love the idea of an inspiration board! And those shirts are great! Happy New Year and best of luck in 2016!
I absolutely love your inspiration board — too cute!
Happy New Year 🙂
Hope your 2016 is wonderful.
xoxo, Jenny
I love your inspiration board!!!!! Happy 2016 ❤️
I am the EXACT same way. I take everything so personally and so seriously, I need to lighten up a lot and take things at face value instead of trying to twist things and making it about me or something I have or haven’t done.
I’m glad I’m not alone in this momma.
Happy New Year love 🙂 xo
Makes me feel a little better that other people do that as well !!! It makes me so mad at myself !! We got this in 2016 we can work on it
Hope you have a very Happy New Year. Never hurts to make time for “ME”.
Happy Sweet Sixteen! I love your inspiration board and went over to Polyvore to check out where to find that doormat, I love its happy attitude 🙂
What a fantastic mood board, I love your positivity. Best of luck with achieving your goals in 2016 x
I love your mood board!! Those decorations are adorable too!

Work on your own self-love and self-confidence. When you feel good about yourself, they other opinions matter less. Find other things out side of work to enjoy so that you don’t get caught up in work stuff and attitudes as much. You can do this. Here’s to you.
I love your inspiration board. I hope you wrap the new year around your little finger and take charge! The shirts are incredibly cute!
Happy New year sounds like you have a grand plan
I do exactly the same I find it difficult to develop a thick skin and not let everyone walk over me. I try to not take things personally but it does not always work that way.
I absolutely love this! Y’all are adorable 🙂
Thanks so much !!! We had fun !
How do you create your mood boards, I love the look.
Thanks so much !!! I use polyvore
Thank you! I will more into it
I love the idea of creating a mood board for the New Year! And taking things less personal is definitely on my list, too.
Me is a great word for the New Year. So often, we put others ahead of ourselves and it’s important to give ourselves some time too.
I love it! The inspiration board has me drooling over new stuff to look for!
It’s not selfish to have your word be about taking more time for yourself. Sometimes that’s the best thing to do for everyone else too!
Those are some great goals, me time is so important! The matching shirts were also super cute!
I’m excited for finishing school next year and taking my blog to the next level 🙂
Love the decorations for this year! That’s a very good resolution to be honest. I hope you stand by it all year. Keep the good vibes coming!
the decorations are so fun! i also love the mug that says eat cake for breakfast, i having the matching placemat
Laci, I want that shirt! So darn cute. Spending New Year’s at home is totally cool. That’s how we do it. I love that your word is “Me” that is awesome.
I’m really curious about that Sparkling Cucumber–I do love the taste of cucumbers. Maybe I can find a bottle somewhere and see if I like it. As for New Year’s Eve and Day–I spent it at home with my Fur Baby. My days of heavy duty partying are long gone–I don’t even make it till midnight anymore!!
What a great idea for a family party! Love that you went all out with the details. One year my word was ME. At first it kind of felt selfish but as the year progressed it became less and less so. Sometimes focusing on Me made me better at being all the other things I needed to be.
Happy new year Laci. I’m looking forward to getting to know you more in 2016.
yeey, i am with you..not taking things too personally. this is also on top of my list 🙂 cheers for 2016!!!
How fun are you and your daughter?! Love the matching shirts and I love that you are not taking things to personally this year. I look forward to visiting your blog again. <3
I like the colors in your photos! Cool inspiration board. Looks like you’re getting into the new year’s spirit. 🙂
My word is also ME! Great plan to focus on yourself.

I love the “Pop that Champagne” shirts. How fun! I think it’s great that your word of the year is “me” (you). Everyone should spend a little more time on themselves!
I’ve stopped doing resolutions years ago and just do a word for the year ( it’s conquer for 2016 ). The inspiration board would be something nice to do though – it would help me visualize what Conquer2016 is.
Love it! How did you make your mood board?!?!?
Great way to look forward to the new year. All the best x
Happy New Year! My resolution is not to buy any toys or books for my kids. We have too many toys and can get any book we want from the library.
Same here girl! I’m 31 this year as well….mood board is great. I need to make one myself. Never let anyone dull your sparkle!
This party looks awesome!!! Love the inspiration board. I do those from time to time myself. Happy New Year and here’s to having 2016 be the best year yet!
Love the matching shirts…so cute and your daughter can really rock that outfit:)
I love your inspiration boar and your new years party looked like so much fun! Happy New Years!
I love your word of the year! It’s something a try to remember- you really can’t take care of everyone else unless you’re taking care of yourself, too. Happy new year!
Thats a fab idea to try and do something emotional like not taking things personal. I think that would be good for me too. Thanks for sharing. The black box idea looks good. Angela x
Very entertaining!
That is SUCH a good phrase to use for this year! I take a lot of things too personally and the world doesn’t help you unless you grow a thick skin and push through the tough times!
I love love LOVE your mood board! 2016 is gonna be your year girl!
Happy New Year! We rung in the New Year at home as well. The few years that we did try venturing at as a family never panned out. So, we watched movies, got food from our favorite restuarants and made cookies. Love the matching shirts. That might be something else we incorporate for New Year’s Eve of this year.
My New Year’s Eve was spent with family. We had a simple celebration at home and enjoyed being together. I do not make resolutions for the new year. I pray for guidance that I may find the right path to accomplish God’s plan for me.
You 2016 is gonna be epic!!! Love your celebration! Happy New Year!
So many things I loved in this post. It made me happy reading it! But where do I find this lavender water???
Happy New Year. Looks like you will have an awesome party
the next 365 days would be awesome, might have some challenges but will surely cherish the memories.
I have a lot of goals both personal and blogging related for the new year. I wrote about them here: http://www.eaglesoaringhigher.com/2015/12/29/2015-recap-and-goals-for-2016/
My word for this year would be: Forward
Happy new year! Best wishes to you in 2016!
Cucumber and Lavender water? That sounds really interesting. I would love to try those drinks one of these days. 🙂 Happy New Year!
Oh my word, your New Year’s goodies look so cute and fun! We celebrated at home too. I’d rather remember the night 😉
I love that your word is me. Taling care of ourself is far from selfish… It’s simply necessary.
With love,
Kylie

Looks like you had a blast! Love your mood board, very inspiring! Happy New Year xxx
I want to create a mood board after seeing yours. I didn’t celebrate NYE, I stayed in and watched movies after dealing with an increase of chronic back pain SP failed back surgery. I want to make 2016 a better year every day.
Sounds like the perfect NYE to me. We stayed in too, and no hangovers at our house either. I love those t-shirts. Super cute.
Happy New Year – this is a great post, I am super sensitive and take everything far too personally. Thank you for the quote. Kaz 🙂
Oh man. Our New Year’s at home was boring but, after reading how fun you made yours, it won’t be next year! Thanks.
I love your mood board. I’m going to have to find that water. It looks good
I like the inspirational message about energy. Happy New Year to you!
P.S. Did you know that this year is a leap year and there are actually 366 days in it?
That mood board is just great! I love your attitude and your family party looks great. The sparkling waters are a great touch, I have not heard of this brand they look delish. Love the matching shirts. You both looked great
I’m totally lovin’ that mood/inspiration board! Honestly I love just about everything about this post! Happy New Year!
I don’t think it is selfish at all I think that it is good to focus on self-love.
I love your mood board idea and Happy New Year 2016!
Sometimes you really need a little more me time, so I can completely relate. Hope you have a great 2016!
I am focusing on self love and self worth this year! I think that’s awesome. I’m in love with your mood board, that’s such a great idea.
I wish you the best of everything for the year 2016. I LOVED the matching shirts, so cute and so adorable.
The year 2016 has landed and I am still working out my resolutions. I love your idea of focusing on yourself 🙂 Maybe I can apply that personally as well.
Awesome word choice! Wishing you an amazing New Year!
Sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves when we are so focused on caring for others.
My goals for the new year center around the word/concept of “completion.” I have many unfinished projects and plans, and I want to see how many come to fruition this year as I put more strategic effort into them.
