What to do with all those Christmas cards you received.....

As parents it can be SO stinking hard to teach our children that the world does not revolve around them. Truthfully, we can’t blame our children for acting this way. We are all sinners from birth, and parents certainly do not help kids in overcoming their self-centeredness. From the moment they are born, kids today have a camera shoved in their faces. Every look, smile and action is documented and shared for the world to enjoy over and over again. 

And while children should be celebrated and shown tangible support, it is also our job as Christian parents to teach them that their lives are not meant to be totally about themselves. In fact, when we live our lives solely for ourselves, we always come up empty and lonely. Jesus tells us in Matthew 22:37-40 to love the Lord our God with everything, holding nothing back from Him. He also tells us to love others as much as we love ourselves.

We can tangibly love like Jesus in a variety of ways, but here is one simple thing our family is committed to doing in 2019.

Family Christmas Card Activity: 

Display the Christmas cards that your family received in a central location in your house where everyone gathers. It can be as simple as magnets on the refrigerator or a wall near the dinner table. Commit as a family to pray for the families each card represents. Each person in your family picks one card to pray for. You can’t duplicate families on the same day. Try to encourage your children to pick a different card on the following day so they learn to pray for a variety of people and needs - not just for the people they know best. Everyone takes turns praying out loud - kids and adults. Keep it simple and sincere.

Please join our family in this activity. I truly believe that we are going to experience the transformation power of prayer in our own hearts and the lives of those we are praying for each day.

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
