It’s 6pm on New Years Eve and the party at our house is in full swing. In my mind’s eye, it looks just like this. Elegant and sparkly, kid-friendly and lots and lots of fun.
In reality, we’re lying on a bed of pillows on the floor watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in our sweatpants.
I wanted more for all of us. Something prettier than this, but we’ve been knee deep in house projects for the last few days and truth be told we’re all a little tuckered out. Tonight, we’ll relish in each other’s company, cuddle a lot, eat popcorn and chase each other in the dark with glow sticks, it will be equally wonderful in our own little way.
I’ll file these lovely projects aways for another fun family night.
Family Friendly New Years Ideas:
- New Years Eve Party Hats
- Glitter Fun Paint
- DIY Glitter Wine Glasses

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and feeling blessed you keep coming back to share your time with me. Looking forward to lots of fun new happenings in 2013.

Low key celebrations are just as fun, I think! Best wishes for 2013. Hopefully we’ll get to hang out again soon!
Oh I hope so Morena, we keep missing each other it seems. We’ll get on the same schedule this year and have a ton of fun I’m sure!
We started off at friends house but ended up coming home because we were all so exhausted. Our little family was in bed and asleep by 10:30. No regrets here, our low key night was perfect for us! Happy New Year!
Sounds like a blast, Happy New Year to you too Ashley and thanks for the comment.
Wishing you a very Happy New Year! It’s been such a delight to “get to know you” this past year and be inspired by you. Can’t wait to see what you’re inspired to do in 2013!

Thanks Kim! It has been a real pleasure getting to know you too, hopefully we will cross paths in real life sometime soon!
It was a much better New Year’s Eve than mine. We had to send the kids off to their aunt b/c my husband and I were bedridden with the stomach flu. Surely 2013 will get better, right?
