Family Printables + giveaway
October 8, 2009 | Filed Under Household, Kids | 167 Comments
Updated: This giveaway is now closed. The winner is Joy from Frugal Menu Mamas!
A couple of weeks ago as I was perusing around Etsy, one of my absolutely favorite sites, I came across these fun Family Rules Printables by Perfect Sentiment and just had to buy a set for myself.
I thought they would be awesome hung in our dining room as a great reminder about what the family rules are. I love the idea of our expectations being clearly displayed for the kids in hopes that they might actually get it. A girl can dream can’t she 
The printables were reasonably priced at $4.00 and I figured that while I could easily make them myself I wasn’t willing to sacrifice the time it would take to do it. Not when I could purchase them so inexpensively and be able to download them right away.
I quickly ran down to my local dollar store to purchase some 5×7 frames and was able to get 6 black frames for $10.00.
This little project took me no time at all to assemble and I was so pleased with the results I just had to share it with you. This is how they look hung up in our dining room.
So for $14.00 I got a great piece of conversational art in my dining room that leads to many a family discussion around the dining room table. And now that I own the printables I can easily assemble some sets for Christmas gifts if I want to.
When I emailed Erin of Perfect Sentiment to tell her how pleased I was she offered to give away a set of printables to one of my readers. So if this is something that interests you just leave a comment on this post prior to Oct 11th at 12:00 pm PST to enter. Open to everyone.

Frustrated on October 8th, 2009 9:27 am
These statements are great. With a 9 year old boy and a 13 year old girl these statements would be great to just say look at the wall and remember our rules. Say it calmly and quietly and they can get the reminder and learn to curb themselves.
I do love your site.

What a great idea!! I was recently talking with friends about all our “rules” that I say every day all day. I say each of these in some form or other. AND I have wall space in my kitchen that I’ve been stumped over for 6 years. This would be PERFECT in that spot!

Patti on October 8th, 2009 1:24 pm
What great timing! During the last two weeks I’ve been thinking that I really need to post house rules. Kids really do better with the visual reminders.
What I particularly like about this set is the bold bright block letters. And the way you have them displayed allows for quick & easy reference without all the visual clutter of a black & white list.
Love this idea, thanks for sharing!
Kelly on October 8th, 2009 1:31 pm
functional and pretty—-I love it!

I really like these-I went to buy them and they’re sold out! So I’ll try to win them instead!

BRANDI on October 8th, 2009 2:34 pm
This is such a cute idea. I love how they are displayed and would love some for the house
Debra on October 8th, 2009 2:37 pm
I think I would spread them out, one or two per room, so as you’re walking through the house you come across them, like an easter egg hunt.
claudia on October 8th, 2009 2:39 pm
I have a perfect place for these!
Jeni Winegeart on October 8th, 2009 2:45 pm

Kelly on October 8th, 2009 5:31 pm
I have been reading Erin’s blog for awhile now & loved these when she did them. I am redoing our kitchen/dining area into a place for my girls to keep schoolwork & art supplies. I have also wanted to include some family rules and these would be perfect on the wall. Thanks for a fun giveaway!
Sarah B. on October 8th, 2009 5:54 pm
This would be awesome to have. I have 5 children ranging from ages 9-2. I am always trying to teach them these concepts. They really try hard to stick to them, but you know how kids can be sometimes. I guess we all can have our moments. This would be a great reminder for myself and them and also be great to decorate with. Great idea.
Ginny on October 8th, 2009 5:55 pm
What a fun giveaway, thanks for telling us about this shop. I love these rules, they are fun to look at & don’t feel so rulish

TiffanyB on October 9th, 2009 9:46 am
Oh man I need these in a bad way! Fall must bring on bad behavior in my house lol!

Megan on October 9th, 2009 4:50 pm
I love these family rules! It’s always good to see them to remember them
Melissa on October 9th, 2009 6:04 pm
So you mean I could actually just point to the rule that my boys need to be “reminded” about instead of repeating myself every FIVE minutes?;)
I don’t want this set, I NEED it!
Dana on October 9th, 2009 7:28 pm
We have been working on rules with our 5-year old and these are much cuter than the poster board we came up with!!

caroline on October 12th, 2009 6:26 am
every night we talk about “civitas” the latin word for kindness, generosity and helpfulness. having the spirit of our discussions framed and hung nearby would serve as a lovely reminder to hold these values dear.
Liz on October 12th, 2009 8:16 am
Beautiful. Would love to win!
