2015 Family Motto

This post is sponsored by American Crafts and may contain affiliate links.

We’re about a week into the new school year. After a few days we noticed that one of our kids was really grumpy about school. As I was talking to him he mentioned how he only liked to do fun things, and that school is not fun. He is a really smart kid, but school is hard for him. After my rant of “life isn’t fun” I came up with our family motto for the school year.

Because, while we don’t expect him to have the top grades in his class or to bring home 100% on every spelling test, we do expect him to try his very best (whether or not it is fun)!

To be sure he never forgets, I’ve hung these signs around the house, and even slipped one in his daily school planner.

To make them, I printed off the motto with a copy machine and ran them through the Minc Machine. Easy as pie.

And while the family motto received a lot of eye rolling, he thinks the Minc is pretty awesome.

And I think he’s pretty awesome too!

Psst…Amazon.com has the Minc Machine and foil Starter kit for just $95! That’s a great price if you’ve been wanting one.

If you’re family needs a little reminder to do their very best, you can download our motto below.

I’m curious, do you have a family motto?
