Family Manifesto

Inspired by Brene Brown's Parenting Manifesto, I decided it would be a good idea to make a Manifesto for our family. A Family Manifesto is a great way to show the world (and remind your family those things that are most important to you as a family. I think of it as partly a blueprint of who you are right now and partly a list of where you want to go. Creating a Family Manifesto together as a family is a great way to open a discussion about what is important to everyone in the family. Trust me, this exercise alone is a valuable thing to do as a family.

Ready-Made Manifestos
I have two different pre-made Manifestos you can choose from. Each with their own great ideals that I have pulled from other sources and from our own family manifesto. These are available as they are without any customization.

Customizable Manifesto Templates
I can also create a custom manifesto for your family using your own personal list. I have several different templates to choose from and will add your family name and list to it. Some of them also include photos, if you would like.

Completely Custom Manifesto
And, if none of those strike your fancy, I can always create something completely custom for you. The sky is the limit! Well, we still have to be able to print it, so maybe not the whole sky... ; ) This will be billed at $20/hour. See below to start the order and/or Email me for more information.

Where to start
Not sure how to begin decide what your family should include on their manifesto? If you need some help coming up with ideas, email me. I have a PDF that I can send you that gives great ideas on how to get started and make sure that everyone participates.
