Last night, I was reading through a book on manners by Maralee McKee that I had received to review when I came across this acrostic. I knew that I wanted to create something to print out and put up in our home because I really liked it. I believe that it’s good to have visual reminders up around the house to help us fight the good fight. T – Is It True? H – Is It Helpful? I – Is It Inspirational? N – Is It Necessary? K – Is It Kind?
