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!

Praise isn’t pretending everything is fine, it’s r Praise isn’t pretending everything is fine,
it’s remembering who God is, even when it isn’t.
It rarely changes our circumstances,
but it always changes our perspective.

What could shift in you
if you praised God for even one thing
you’ve been tempted to complain about?

Sometimes praise is the most rebellious act of hop Sometimes praise is the most rebellious act of hope we have left.

🎙️ Episode 3 of Oh, Good Grief | The Podcast is live.

In this week’s episode, The Sound of Surrender, we’re talking about what happens when we worship through the wilderness, and the way gratitude reshapes our view of God, of ourselves, and of the desert we’re walking through.

🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

God is never careless with the pruning knife. If H God is never careless with the pruning knife.
If He allows something to fall away, we can trust His heart,
that it is ultimately for our good,
and for His glory.

Sometimes God prunes what is still alive. Not beca Sometimes God prunes what is still alive.
Not because He is cruel, but because He is kind.

It’s unbelievably hard to walk away from something that was once deeply fruitful. But when a season ends and God lifts His grace from that role, relationship, or project, lingering often hurts far more than leaving.

Trust His heart for you in the pruning. 🌱
He cuts with purpose, and always with love.

I stumbled across the word I chose and lettered fo I stumbled across the word I chose and lettered for 2023. Held. I thought it might reopen old ache. Instead, it reminded me of the deeper song beneath our hardest seasons: even in the unraveling, we were held.

And as a new year unfolds, that truth feels like a steadying hand.

Here’s to beginnings that hum with mercy...
sunrises, blankets of white snow,
seasons turning quietly toward hope. 

Dream bravely.
Plan loosely.
Take the next small step.
Try again.

Be tender with yourself.
Honor the slow work of becoming.
And step into this year knowing—
you are held.
As we stand on the edge of a new year, remember th As we stand on the edge of a new year, remember this:
God doesn’t prune to prove a point;
He prunes to produce fruit.

Trust the precision and the heart
of the Master Gardener.

What felt like loss this past year
may have been His clearing away of the old
to make room for the new.

For the person who doesn’t love journaling but doe For the person who doesn’t love journaling but does love growth…the R•EVOLVE Journal was created to make the practice simple, sustainable, and meaningful.

Five lines a day - small enough to fit into real life, yet rich enough to capture the joys, struggles, prayers, answered prayers, and all the quiet in-between spaces.

Some seasons change us so subtly we miss the beauty of what’s unfolding. This little rhythm helps you notice it, and hold it.

All seven cover designs are available on Amazon or in the Simply Bloom Co. shop

If you live in Central Michigan, I'm happy to connect with you and get one into your hands so you can start journaling sooner.
