Rules to Live By {Giveaway}

UPDATE:  Emily (comment 194) has been randomly selected as the winner of this giveaway.

I’m a big rule follower. I like to color inside the lines.

Lately though, I’ve been trying to break my own rules and be more flexible.

And guess what? My house is a little messier, my laundry pile is a bit bigger, my to do list longer, but my life is more peaceful.

2+2 doesn’t always equal 4.

I stink at math. But I’m always reminded that time with the beautiful people in my life is really what life is all about.

That’s why I absolutely love RULES like this: (Plus, who doesn’t love subway art?)

I think when I focus on making these rules a priority, I remember life isn’t about things at all.

Alexander Creative has some awesome art for your walls!

I love this one for a boy’s room.

They sent me the  family subway rules poster and they are giving one away on my blog today to a lucky reader.

Everyone else, shop here!

Tell me what you’d love to hang on your walls from Alexander Creative and that will be your entry.

This giveaway ends on Thursday.

    Julie says:

    Everything looks great…..I think the first thing that I would like to hang on my wall would be the “Our story begins (HERE)” Sounds like a first good piece to start with and I really like the simplicity and the ability for it to be a conversation starter in revealing that all familiar story of how, when and where you met your partner.

  15. 165
    Christina M says:

    The Family Rules sign, well, RULES! :) How this family could benefit from those reminders–especially this Momma.

    Vicki Thunstrom says:

    I love the 2 you posted. Being the mom of a boy who is perfectly defined by the poster, I found it perfect. I also loved the Be Happy text in the pictured that showed all the options. My son and I will be moving into our first house soon and we will definitely get one of these posters to decorate our house. :) Thanks for sharing!

    Jennifer in VA says:

    I think the family rules but I also like the boy/girl definitions. I’ve always chuckled at that “a noise with dirt on it” definition.

  24. 174

    I like the customized Where Our Family Begins sign. So cute!

  25. 175
    Helen says:

    I love the white on black family rules you featured in your post. I’ve been thinking about making a family rules sign and collecting ideas, but that one says everything I wanted to put on it, and it’s gorgeous!

    Mrs. Bennett says:

    I like the create your family mission statement. I have been wanting to do that for a long time and this might be the motivation to get it done! The Marry Me poster is so sweet too, but I am already married. It could be used in a creative proposal.

  35. 185

    Alicia says:

    There is an blank wall in our kitchen where I scribble Bible verses with erasable marker. The Rules would be a great permanent reminder of our “rules!” :)

  44. 194
    Emily says:

    I love the “Love Jesus” in red, for my dining room. As I’m sure it is with a lot of moms, I find myself saying most of those things, (no bad attitudes, use kind words, share, share, share), everyday. It’d sure be nice to just have to point to a sign:)

  45. 195
    Harley Mom says:

    The definition of a boy! Love it.

  46. 196
    Adele S. says:

  47. 197
    Stacy says:

    I love the family rules poster! But I also think the customized family mission statement is a fantastic idea. If my teens were involved in writing the statement, that would be golden.

  49. 199
    Keri K says:

    I would LOOOOOVE to hang the Marry Me poster in the middle of our wedding wall. I have 30 + pictures hanging on one of our walls, but it just doesn’t seem complete. I think that would finish off our wall!

  50. 200
    Jennifer M says:

    I love the family rules poster mostly because it says LOVE JESUS first!

  51. 201
    Erica says:
