Slow Down and Ease Up: A Sanity-Saving Approach to Life
When times get tough, sometimes you need something that helps realign your family unit, perhaps a common refrain that quickly puts everything back into perspective. I’m talking about a motto.

You are not allowed to come to this house without a bottle of wine — we won’t let you in.” Read about their house and those of other multigenerational families around the world.
We gathered 27 other family mottoes — quirky and serious — from a recent Houzz discussion. Feel free to add yours in the Comments section — or adopt one of these as your own.
