Family Rules {Printable & Desktop Wallpaper}

I’ve always been inspired by crisp, creative, colorful design…with a message!  It’s like a triple layered cake…with cream cheese frosting.

And chocolate shavings.

I’ve been mulling over the idea of ‘family rules’ for some time now and have been drooling over all the pallet-painted gorgeousness on Pinterest lately, in search of ‘the one’.  So when a precious friend sent me this link and asked whether I could recreate something similar for her wall, I was thrilled to bits, because with a few additions and some minor wording tweaks…it was perfect for our family {and our freshly painted kitchen wall!}.

Family Rules

And there she sits, in all her colorful {profoundly simple, simply profound} glory.

House Rules Bookmark

“Speak life” and “choose to be positive” are already a part of our daily verbiage, so it’s been funny to see our wee ones refer to “the rules” while attitude-checking each other.

I had such a great response to the few pics I posted through Instagram and Facebook during the design process that I decided to make it available to ya’ll!  And you have options to boot {whoot whoot…what girl doesn’t love options?}:

  • 8 x 10 Printable (PDF) – or try this link for the JPEG
  • Bookmark Printable {3/page} PDF – or JPEG link
  • I’ve already ordered six 12 x 24 prints {mounted on foam core board} through my favorite printer in Lansing for friends, family & beyond – if you live locally and would like to scoop one up for $25, FB message or email me at simplybloomdesign{at}gmail{dot}com.
  • Become a monthly supporter of Smile FM during their Fun Drive later this week…and score a limited edition mounted 11 x 14 print as a gift {they contacted me and asked if they could share it with their listeners…to which I replied, “heck yeah!”.  Or something considerably more refined.}
  • Or, you can simply enjoy it as your desktop wallpaper…

And with that, my friends, I’m off to help finalize details on the fabulously functional 2013 Chaos Simplified Women’s {Life} Planner {that many of you helped choose the cover for – thank you!} and prepare for the women’s event I’m yacking at this weekend.  I’m totally starting off with this story.  Because I’m just that sophisticated.

Pray for them.

Happy October!

Before the empty tomb, there was a basin. Before Before the empty tomb,
there was a basin.

Before glory,
there was grief.

The Jesus Way is not dominance.
It’s downward mobility.
It’s loving in the face of betrayal.
Serving in the face of misunderstanding.
Choosing humility when pride would be easier.

If loving like Jesus feels costly, you’re not doing it wrong.
It has always cost something.

🎧 Episode 017 | The Jesus Way is now streaming.

How's your internal monologue? Be brutally honest How's your internal monologue?
Be brutally honest here.

Are you actually kind to yourself?
Do you practice curiosity + compassion
when your emotions + responses catch you
off guard and feel oversized for the occasion?

Are you patient and gracious with your soul's
long + messy journey of growth and healing?

Are you gentle with your heart when you mess up?
Or, do you instantly shift to shaming + blaming?

Is self-loathing a constant (albeit unwanted)
companion who lingers in the corner just
waiting for an invitation to show up with
cruel words, gasoline and a match?

For many of us, if we talked to our dearest
friends the way we talk to ourselves...
well, we wouldn't have many.

Go ahead and read that again.
Let it sink in.

/ / /

Consider this a gentle reminder
to be tender with yourself.
Speak life to your own soul.
Always, always, always be kind.

We are never more like the enemy of our souls than
when we assume the role of accuser + condemner.

Catch every negative, shaming thought you have
and see if it aligns with how God sees you (and others).

If it isn't good, kind, hopeful, constructive, grace-laced and restorative, then it doesn't belong in your head + heart.

You are, after all, allowed to be both a mess and
a masterpiece...all at the very same time.

You are so loved.
Easter reminds us that the tomb is empty. But befo Easter reminds us that the tomb is empty.
But before the resurrection, there was a towel.

In John 13, just hours before the cross,
Jesus doesn’t assert power, He kneels.
He washes the feet of Peter.
He washes the feet of Judas.
He loves them to the end.

🎙️ Episode 017 | The Jesus Way is live.

What does it look like to choose love in the middle
of betrayal, grief, disagreement, and struggle?
The way of Jesus isn’t flashy.
 It’s faithful.

So very thankful for the life that came from his d So very thankful for the life
that came from his death.

May you know how wildly, wholly
and wonderfully you are loved…

“This is how much God loved the world:
He gave his Son, his one and only Son.
And this is why: so that no one need be
destroyed; by believing in him, anyone
can have a whole and lasting life.
God didn’t go to all the trouble of
sending his Son merely to point an
accusing finger, telling the world
how bad it was. He came to help,
to put the world right again.”

John 3:16-17 | The Message

Boundaries are not the opposite of love. They are Boundaries are not the opposite of love.
They are often the evidence of it.

Jesus touched lepers.
He wept with friends.
He restored the broken.

But He also corrected boldly.
He withdrew intentionally.
He did not entrust Himself to everyone.

You can forgive someone
without restoring immediate proximity.
You can love someone
without giving them full access to your life.

Episode 016 | Grace + Guardrails is available now.

Love does not require unlimited access. In Episod Love does not require unlimited access.

In Episode 016 of Oh, Good Grief, we explore what Jesus
actually modeled when it comes to boundaries.

He loved everyone.
He did not entrust Himself to everyone.
He was full of grace and truth.
He welcomed the crowds, but confided in the few.

In a world that demands access to our time, energy, and heart, this episode unpacks what it looks like to forgive without naivety, love without losing discernment, and practice grace with guardrails.
