I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas cards. I love giving and receiving cards, but I really dislike the stress in the preparation of taking the card photo. It's really hard to take a "good" picture with two small kids (4 and 1 yr old), so this year I decided to NOT stress about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's right. NO STRESS. No fuss on outfits, no big plans, no hiring photographers, no plans. No. Stress. We decided to go to our local park, and have my dad take our picture. {no fuss} I used our "mom cam" {canon rebel t5i}, and I had my dad use the "portrait" setting {it helps keep people in focus and background blurry}. For outfits, Mila and I wore our Easter outfits from this year, Bryan wore a sweater he had, and Caleb wore his Thanksgiving shirt. {no fuss}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At our picture location the kids were terrible. Mila wanted to play with the ducks {and then she fell and scraped her knee}, and Caleb wanted to act like his normal wild self and NOT take a picture. And I decided....I DON'T CARE. I don't. I'm tired of trying to be perfect. I'm tired of comparing my life to the perfect family {you know them, the ones with the perfectly behaved children with the clean house and fabulous stuff}. I'm done. I'm choosing GRACE, NOT PERFECTION.</div>

There was not enough candy to get my kids to take a "good" picture. And I didn't care. My dad kindly asked, "do you want me to keeping trying?"....and I responded, "nope. Our friends getting our Christmas cards know my kids are wild. I don't care anymore.". </div>

I can't wait to get our Christmas cards and mail them to our friends and family because I think they are PERFECT! They perfectly reflect my new motto of "grace not perfection". They perfectly represent our wild and imperfect family. And I LOVE it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the best cards to go with my "this is our life with kids" idea on <a href="http://tinyprints.com/" target="_blank"><b>Tiny Prints</b></a>. "seldom calm always bright"...Yep, there hasn't been a "Silent Night" in the Big K house in the past 4 years...and I'm ok with that. </div>

I want to encourage you if you are stressed, or exhausted by the thought that you're late on ordering Christmas cards...STOP. Seriously. Use a photo you already have or ask a neighbor or friend to snap a quick photo. Let the kids be kids. Stop caring. I don't judge you. And at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what others think. The people receiving your cards already love you! Boom! Now go order your cards...or New Year's cards. ;-)</div>

Raising children is hard. There are so many choices to be made, i.e breastmilk vs. formula; fastfood vs. homecooked; Jesus vs. Santa; public school vs. private school. You get my point.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a Christ follower, I try to make each decision based on what God thinks, his Word says, and wisdom. Some decisions are easy, but others are not. Jesus vs. Santa isn't a black and white choice. Unless you're reading a different Bible than me. {insert humor here} </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we decided to introduce "Santa" using Jen's idea that "there's a secret to Santa, and when you think you've figured it out, come and let me know". You can read more about Jen's idea <b><a href="http://jenwilkin.blogspot.com/2011/11/santa-strategically.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</b> With "Santa", we decided to start the Elf on the Shelf tradition, but with a twist. As Christians, we celebrate Jesus' birthday first, but also want to participate in American traditions during the Christmas season. "we are in the world, but not apart of the world"-John 17 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided our Elf would teach the kids about God and Jesus, by using our church's <a href="http://www.thevillagechurch.net/the-village-blog/foundational-truths/" target="_blank"><b>preschool biblical truths</b></a>, and playing hide and seek games. This allows our children to participate in the Elf on the Shelf game, and making Jesus bigger than Santa. To get started, I created a calendar of the 5 biblical truths with notes of what the Elf would do each day, an introduction letter from Santa's elves, and laminated 5 biblical truths cards for the Elf to bring each day (God made everything; God is charge of everything; God is good; Jesus came to save sinners; God wants to talk with us). {hey, to make money, I work as a Director of Operations...it's only natural for me to make this Elf game EASY}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've had fun so far celebrating Jesus with our Elf, Buddy! And I'll share our calendar and info for you if you'd like to download. Enjoy! {<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7MwEjulBCoyYXVmdllkaVNKejQ/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><b>download here</b></a>}</div>

Last month we celebrated Mila's first birthday and my thirtieth birthday with a Gatsby themed bash. Our birthday, March 7th, happened to fall on a Saturday this year, so I wanted to throw a fun birthday twin party for my mini-me without breaking the bank. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Throwing a party can add up financially, but there are ways to significantly cut costs without cutting details and fun. Here are a few tips to help save cash, and still celebrate:</div>

My biggest advice for decorations is DIY! Huge savings! I made the tassels for under $2, the cardstock paper fans for $1, and the glittered paper letters for $3 (I cut them with my Silhouette machine). I purchased the balloons, outdoor circle fans, and popcorn boxes from Oriental Trading. </div>

<b>Advice #4, Reuse! </b>My favorite "reusable" decor item is my DIY chalkboard...oh, how I love to draw on that bad boy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to use fabric table linens instead of plastic so that I can reuse them at multiple events. Amazon has the best prices for table covers and runners. Also, reuse as much of the decorations as possible. I have two plastic boxes specifically for "party supplies", and I'll plan parties based on my current "inventory". </div>

<b>Advice #5, borrow! </b>I borrowed picture frames, tables, chairs, and display boxes from friends. It all adds up! Maybe even borrow and share reused party decor?! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My final advice is to have fun! I was talking to some of my friends and they shared how they are tired of throwing pinterest inspired parties because it's getting out of hand or it's stressful. So then don't. At the end of the day, who's the party for? Personally, I love, I mean love, throwing parties. I love making the decorations, and love planning the details (I just don't bake...the kitchen and I aren't friends). Planning a party shouldn't be about competing for the best decorations and food, and you shouldn't feel pressured by pinterest. My hope in sharing these party tips, is to inspire other party lovers to save a little cash without sacrificing the fun in party planning. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since you've been born, you've brought so much joy into our lives. It's true what others say, a mother's heart expands so much to love each child unconditionally. I have so much love for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first two months of your life were filled with love, and were also hard as we tried to figure out how to solve your acid reflux. Once we had your reflux under control you were a happy little baby. You started sleeping through the night by 4 months old, which helped daddy and I. Thank you for that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You love your brother, Caleb, so much. You love to watch him play, and you try to crawl after him. You catch on to things quickly. You can sign a few words (more, milk, and clap), and you copy noises and actions. We call you a little parrot. You can sing along with songs, and have funny dance moves. You crawl and scoot backwards, and are trying really hard to go forward. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You love running errands and getting out of the house. You are so observant! You love to watch people, and people love to talk to you and tell you how cute you are. Strangers tell me how I'm so lucky to have such a happy baby, but I know it's not luck...it's God's gift to me. After all, you were born on my birthday! I think God knew that I needed a calm and happy baby (especially since your brother is a "wild man"). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You love your "eat, play, and sleep" schedule but you don't mind when we mess it up with outings. We even went on our first road trip to Alabama and you were an ANGEL! You truly are the best little baby! (We call you our easy child, but sshh don't tell your brother)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love you and Caleb so much, and we can't image our lives without the both of you! We pray for Caleb and you daily, begging God to open your hearts and for y'all to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior! We pray that you and Caleb are dear friends, and love the Lord and others well; that you fear the Lord, and pursue Him will all your heart. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love you sweet Mila! Our little gracious gift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love,</div>

It finally feels like Fall in Texas! Well, it's under 90 degrees which is considered Fall weather here. I've started to transition our home decor to a Fall theme to help get me in the mood (even if it's still 80 degrees most days). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few simple ideas to create an easy Fall decor transition:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love decorating our entry table to different themes because it is the first thing guests see as they enter our home.</div>

I changed the pillows around, and put the pillows from our master bedroom out in the entry hall because the color scheme brings more warmth to the decor. Swapping out items from different rooms is an easy way to change decor themes.</div>

My favorite fall item is our Thankful Tree! I love walking into the house and having our Thankful Tree out greeting me. Such a wonderful reminder to be giving thanks daily.</div>

Our
Thankful Tree is our fall activity to record all the things we are
thankful for on a leaf, and adds as a beautiful decor item as well.</div>

And hearing the things Caleb is thankful for is hysterical! I asked him if he loves mommy, daddy, and Mila as we were writing our weekly "thankful leaves", and he said, "Yes! And Daddy's phone." Week 1, Caleb was thankful for "cars". Priorities from a 2 year old!</div>

I kept my couch pillows the same in the living room, and added a DIY pillow to bring a bit of warmth to our Fall decor. I created the image on photoshop, and made a custom pillow from Tiny Prints. I LOVE it! I think I'll be making custom pillows for every season because it was so easy to create! And if you don't have time to play with a DIY print, you can use mine! Download the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7MwEjulBCoyUy1qLW9QVUJ3LXc/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">"It's Fall Y'all" jpeg here</a>, and upload it to <a href="http://www.tinyprints.com/home-decor.htm" target="_blank">Tiny Prints</a> to create this pillow. It's my thankful gift to you!</div>

Dresser was a craiglist steal! I found it the weekend I found out I was pregnant, and I was praying for a GIRL! The Snow White poster was mine, and I bought a plain wooden frame 50% off at Hobby Lobby and spray painted it antique white. The smaller Snow White photo was mine from Disney World, original frame was spray painted antique white. Large gold frame is from Hobby Lobby 50% off, and image is from Deep Roots Shop. Circle frame is from Hobby Lobby, and the letter M is a cardboard letter from Hobby Lobby that I spray painted light pink. Small gold frame is from Ikea, and I designed the image. </div>

I'm still in awe of how amazing, good, generous, and gracious God is. We started to pray last year for God to give us a healthy, beautiful baby girl and within a month I was pregnant. How amazing is that? Mila's official due date was March 13, but since I had a terrible labor experience with Caleb that resulted in an emergency c-section, we selected to have a planned c-section with Mila. Mila was scheduled to be delivered one week before her due date which happened to be MY birthday. Yes, children are a gift from the Lord, but this was extra special because Mila was literally my birthday gift. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God is good, and He does good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mila's birth and recovery was one hundred times easier than <a href="http://bigkfam.blogspot.com/2011/12/calebs-birth-story.html" target="_blank">Caleb's!</a> We had my sweet friend Amanda from <a href="http://amandajameson.com/" target="_blank">Amanda Jameson Photography</a> come with us to capture the sweet BIRTHday, and she captured over 500+ memories. I wish I could share all of them (although I doubt you'd like to see them all), but here are a few from our special double birthday.</div>

After becoming content, God revealed to me what He had been up to in my suffering through reading John. God revealed to me that He was not answering my prayer, and allowing me to suffer because He was healing my heart of my idol of money. Did you know that the sin that led to the betrayal of Jesus and resulted in the brutal death of Jesus was an <i>idol of money</i>?!

It's hard to make <i>big</i> changes every year with your interior Christmas decor, unless you want to break the bank. I like decking the halls with the same holiday decor each year, because so many of my decorations have sentimental value. Every ornament has a story, and as I hang each one I am immediately taken to the day I received it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I like a little change with my Christmas decor, and my mirror-turned-chalkboard helps me balance the sentimental memories and a fresh decor theme. </div>

That's our Big K Christmas decor this year. Not a whole lot of change...but that's how I like it! </div>

I can't believe my little man turned two last month! Time is flying by y'all! {and Mila will be here in exactly 3 months}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We threw Caleb a little birthday party at our neighborhood's community center {no cleaning house for this momma, and no need for a contingency plan for our very unpredictable Texas weather}, and the theme was Disneyland! Surprise, surprise. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Caleb was in love with Mickey before our <a href="http://bigkfam.blogspot.com/2013/12/disneyland.html" target="_blank">Disney trip</a>, and since the trip he is obsessed with all things Disney! His favorite movies are Toy Story 3, Up, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to bring all of our fun Disneyland memories back to life at Caleb's party...anything for a smile from my little man. Here's a peek into the birthday boy's day:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I still remember trying to get pregnant with Caleb and asking God to give me twins--one boy and one girl, only if He thought I could handle it. And if not, to give me a beautiful, healthy boy, that I would name Caleb because I wanted my son to be a man that chased after God's heart. A man that loved the Lord and believed in God's sovereignty and goodness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well...God knew I couldn't handle twins...thank you God! And now God has given us sweet Mila. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mila (pronounced Me-La) is Russian for "favor, grace". We've chosen to name her Mila Faith because God has shown us so much favor and grace, even when we don't deserve it, and I want to honor God with Mila's name. We chose Faith as her middle name, because this is our prayer for her. That she would be a woman with enormous faith, trusting the Lord, chasing after God's heart daily, and living from a heart that knows and believes that God is good and does good in ALL!</div>

We had so much fun, and I'm so thankful for my wonderful family, Aunt Viv and Uncle Mel, for watching Caleb and getting a condo walking distance to Disney. We so enjoyed our magical time at Disneyland, California Adventure, and Downtown Disney!!!</div>

I'm already dreaming of planning a family vacation to DisneyWorld! (10 days in disney and 1 day at Hogwarts is calling my name!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing Bryan said when we left the park was, "we need to get both of our families to come with us to DisneyWorld soon". I agree hubby. I agree. </div>

This year we kicked off our summer with a Southern California vacation to visit my dad's Big K family. It was such a special trip because it was the first time my grandparents {and most of my extended family} met Caleb. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the flight out to LAX, I made a HUGE first time momma mistake. We gave up the paci a few weeks before our vacation. Big mistake. Big. Caleb's ears were hurting and he cried during the entire take-off which felt like an eternity. Last year Caleb did so GOOD flying to florida...but we had a paci. I bought a paci in CA for the flight home...I figured that would be cheaper than buying the entire flight a round of tequila. </div>

Once we landed it was all smiles for Caleb! Our first stop was hanging out with my grandparents.</div>

My Aunt Viv and Uncle Mel are the NICEST people you will ever meet! They invited us to stay with them during our vacation, and since they had just sold their home and were renovating their new home, they invited us to stay with them at their condo in Anaheim {walking distance to DISNEY}. We were so happy we could spend time with them {and I can't believe I didn't take ONE picture with MEL! Camera fail!}!</div>

Hello, again!!! Yes, I'm alive! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took the longest blogging break ever. And it was so needed! I gave up reading blogs for lent this past Easter, and I decided I needed to scale back a bit from social media. I was spending too much time on the internet and it was stealing my affections for Christ. I have a sinful bent towards jealousy and blogging wasn't helping that bent. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to continue to blog again, but if it starts taking up too much time or causing me to be envious, then I'm shutting it down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I start back up, let's recap where the HEY HONK I've been with a few pictures! </div>

Dear Caleb,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are a rambunctious, comical, fearless, and lovable little boy! You're nickname this month has been "sour patch kid", because first you're sour and then you're sweet. For example, one second you will be climbing on the couch, throwing a toy at Ariel's head, and the next second you will hug Ariel and come hug me. One extreme to the next my little sour patch kid. </div>

You're favorite thing to do right now is climb on everything! Everything. It makes me nervous, and I can't leave you alone in the living room...too many sharp corners to fall on. You learned how to walk backwards this month, and now love to moon dance in the kitchen. It's hysterical! </div>

You got your first haircut this month...eekkk! It looks really cute, but I miss your long hair! Thankfully, you let me comb and style your hair! Thank you, thank you! I hope you let me do this until you're 30. Or 18. </div>

You still love bathtime {I think we need a pool because you love water so much}, and love to brush your teeth. If anyone accidentally mentions "toothbrush", you run to your bathroom. You'll even grab my hand and lead me to your bathroom. It's so cute, I'll go ahead and brush your teeth on the spot.</div>

After 15 months, Ariel is finally starting to love you. She'll let you sit by her on the couch and pet her. This is big! Ariel will play tug-o-war with you, and she'll run to you when we get home. She now wants to sleep in your room and hide under your crib. The hiding under your crib is driving me bonkers, because she wants to do this while you're napping. As long as she doesn't wake you, I'm ok with it. </div>

Caleb, you're almost a toddler, but you're still my little baby. I love you so much, and cherish every hug, kiss, and smile with you. I pray that you grow up to be a man that chases after God's heart, and allows me to hug you whenever I want. We love you CK. </div>

I'm cohosting today's <a href="http://www.talesofbeautyforashes.com/"><b>Finding Family Link Up</b></a>, and happy to share what's going on in our family's life right now!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
I have previously shared how I've been finding ways to <a href="http://bigkfam.blogspot.com/2013/01/budget-groceries-meal-planning.html">save money</a> so I can hire a cleaning service. Bryan and I wanted to spend less time doing chores on the weekend, and more time together as a family. Well, now it's time to share how the cleaning service has helped our family time!
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cleaning service came...and...well...it didn't go exactly like I thought it would. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hired the janitorial company that cleans our medical office. I know the owner, Mr. T, well, and trust his company to do an excellent job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the day of the first cleaning I was so excited to get home after work. I love the fresh smell of cleaning products, and was excited that I wasn't the one cleaning. When I arrived home, I was pleasantly amazed. I don't think I've seen our house that clean since we moved in! It was wonderful!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything was clean. I was in pure bliss...until I walked into my bedroom. When I first entered my room I noticed some of my clothes hanging above my closet door. How weird? Why were my clothes hanging...why were they slightly damp...wait...those were in my hamper that morning. OH MY HOT TAMALES! I suddenly felt like I was having a hot flash and heart palpitations. I looked across my bedroom and gasped when I realized the truth of what I had feared. Mr. T did my laundry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xenpzi_5Ayh273uKJNuQYbe1mYO63KYL8EkueVnTZ9lnnDSEfvujKKLx76lVK5_4g4Qd8ROIxflD8E1TF0Jtl_e2CAS4dRYrQFxRvSDhbecbWszCSNjTIBZnBTGe735fScFLmaca3JA/s1600/IMG_1506.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xenpzi_5Ayh273uKJNuQYbe1mYO63KYL8EkueVnTZ9lnnDSEfvujKKLx76lVK5_4g4Qd8ROIxflD8E1TF0Jtl_e2CAS4dRYrQFxRvSDhbecbWszCSNjTIBZnBTGe735fScFLmaca3JA/s320/IMG_1506.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I hired Mr. T we specifically negotiated the cleaning price down to a reasonable amount by eliminating laundry and dish services. My laundry was not to be cleaned that day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But there, across my bedroom on my side coffee table were my freshly clean clothes nicely folded. He even folded my most intimate apparel. I wanted to die of embarrassment. Why? Because the night before that first cleaning I started my monthly cycle. Oh yes, and there was evidence in that laundry basket. {insert another hot flash here}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mortified.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I called Bryan nearly having a panic attack, and my sweet hubby said ever so kindly, "well at least you don't have to do laundry this week". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I didn't have to clean or do laundry. After the embarrassment wore off {it took a couple of days} we spent the weekend not doing chores and having fun as a family. </div>

{In case you were wondering, Mr. T is permanently hired. He did a fantastic job cleaning our house, and an amazing job removing the "evidence" from my laundry. I should ask him what his cleaning secret is but I'm too embarrassed.}<br />

God's heart is always on trial. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was abiding in God through 1Kings when I stumbled across a troubling passage. It was the story of "The Old Prophet and the Man of God", where the man of God was told by the LORD to "not eat bread or drink water, or go back by the way he came". He was obedient until <i><b>"the old prophet deceived him, and the man of God went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water." {1Kings 13:19}</b></i> The old prophet deceived the man of God by lying and telling the man of God that an angel spoke to him and told him that he should go back with him and eat bread and drink water. <b><i>{1Kings 13:18}</i></b> When the man of God left the old prophet's home, he was killed by a lion. <i><b>{1King 13:24}</b></i> WHAT?? <b><i>"He is the man of God who disobeyed the command of the LORD. The LORD has given him to the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, according to the word of the LORD that He spoke to him." {1Kings 13: 26}</i></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week is my one year anniversary of being a working momma. A somber anniversary. I have been reflecting on the past 365 days trying to understand what God has been up to in my working circumstances, <a href="http://bigkfam.blogspot.com/2012/12/learning-to-trust.html"><b><i>my suffering</i></b></a>. I realized during my reading of 1Kings 13 that my heart is bent on mistrusting God's heart. When God killed the man of God my heart screamed, "WHAT??". He was tricked, and the old prophet should have been killed instead. God's heart is immediately placed on trial. Is He good? Was killing the man of God good? A fog of doubt slowly rolled in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been living in this fog for the past 365 days. What a gloomy way to live as a half hearted soul trying to see the larger story from a storm. Every day this week I've been asking myself, "why don't I trust God, why do I doubt, what do I believe about His heart, what is He up to in my suffering?". <b>The truth is I question God's heart. <i>Is God's heart really good? Does He really care about me?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even writing my doubt brings me to an overflow of tears. Will God's heart always be on trial? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other day, I was listening to a song {Shake It Out by Florence + the Machine} and God spoke to my heart through the chorus:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Lyric"><span class="line line-s" id="line_46">"Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah!</span>
<span class="line line-s" id="line_47">Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah!</span>
<span class="line line-s" id="line_48">And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back</span>
<span class="line line-s hover" id="line_49">So shake him off, oh woah!"</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Lyric"><span class="line line-s hover" id="line_49">It's the fog of doubt that lingers on my back. It's the ancient lie that keeps rolling back. Yes, God I hear You! Shake it out indeed! The lies, the doubts, the lawyer that lives in my flesh that eagerly wants to prosecute God's heart on trial...shake it out. God help me shake it out, shake it out for me! Help my heart believe You are good and that You infinitely love me!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Lyric"><span class="line line-s hover" id="line_49">I want to dance with God, but I can't if I'm living in a fog of doubt. So I will search for His heart, shake off the lingering fog, hold on to the Truth, and abide in Him. If this anniversary of suffering continues, I pray that I can say I danced well. I suffered well, trusting my LORD and believing that His heart is good, and that He deeply loves me.

I have shared <b><a href="http://bigkfam.blogspot.com/2012/12/learning-to-trust.html">before</a></b> about our student loan debt, and the chaos of balancing my job and motherhood. I cannot say thank you enough to my friends and family that have walked along with me through this struggle, and encouraged me to abide in God. I now understand why God warns us to not borrow money. Debt sucks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bryan has noticed my stress with balancing my role as a working-momma and motherhood, and offered to hire a cleaning service to help me with my bi-weekly cleaning. This was a helpful offer, but it has also been humbling because I have to admit that I'm not <b><i>perfect</i></b>. I can't be a <i>perfect</i> employee, a <i>perfect</i> mother, and a <i>perfect</i> homemaker. I need help, or I need to live with the chaos. <br />
<br />
I want our financial budget to stay the same when we hire the cleaning service in February, so I had to "find" money. This left me with two options: <i>cancel our cable</i> or <i>lower our grocery budget</i>. Bryan voted for lowering our grocery budget {thanks to ESPN}.<br />
<br />
I normally shop at Krogers because it's 1 mile down the street in the neighborhood, but I probably make 2-3 stops a week because of the convince. We spend $120-$150 per week on groceries not counting what Bryan spends eating out at lunch {weekdays only}. I also never meal plan. I just walk into Krogers and randomly buy ingredients and hope I can make a meal out of it. I hate cooking, so I'm not an organized shopper.<br />
<br />
To save money I needed to meal plan. <br />

Krogers isn't extremely expensive, but I needed to grocery shop at a more cost-effective store. A couple of my friends, <a href="http://casadecoats.blogspot.com/"><b>Whit</b></a> and MT, suggested that I do my grocery shopping at <a href="http://aldi.us/index_ENU_HTML.htm"><b>ALDI</b></a> to save some cash.<br />
<br />
I made my grocery list based on my meal plan for 5 days {I make meals to feed 6 people, so that we will have leftovers on the weekend and for work lunches}, and then headed to ALDI. ALDI doesn't carry everything, so I had to make an extra stop at Walmart to pick up toiletries and cleaning products, but adding up my ALDI + Walmart receipts I saved $50 the first week and $65 the second week. Crazy!<br />
<br />
I am sold on <b><a href="http://aldi.us/index_ENU_HTML.htm">ALDI</a></b> now! If I can save $120 per month on groceries, then I can afford to pay our cleaning service, yay!<br />
<br />
Meal planning is the hardest part, so I'm going to document 4 weeks of meal planning and share my meal calendar with you. If you have an <a href="http://aldi.us/index_ENU_HTML.htm"><b>ALDI</b></a> or <a href="http://www.traderjoes.com/"><b>Trader Joe's</b></a> near you, I encourage you to check it out! {No, no one is paying me or giving me anything to say this...it's just my opinion}<br />
<br />
Let me know if you have any money saving tips? Saving money makes me do a happy dance! <br />
<br />
<u><b>{ALDI Shopping Tips}:</b></u><br />
*Go without bringing the kiddos the first time {it'll be easier}<br />
*bring 1 quarter for the grocery cart {they're locked, and you'll get your quarter back if you take the cart back}<br />
*bring grocery bags {you'll have to bag everything}<br />
*they only sell in-season produce <br />
*check out ALDI's <b><a href="http://aldi.us/us/html/company/3503_ENU_HTML.htm">FAQ</a></b> page<br />
<br />
{a majority of the recipes on my meal plans can be found on my <a href="http://pinterest.com/vivk/yummy/"><b>Pinterest</b></a>. check back in February for a complete booklet of my monthly meal plans to download for FREE}</div>

You are extremely active now. After you turned 13 months {in December} you started using sign language like you had been able to sign all along. You are a tricky-trickster for holding out so long! In one day, you signed "milk", "more", "eat/food", and "finished". And it wasn't just a one time thing...you sign ALL of the time now! I'm so proud of you!! </div>

The biggest development at 13 months was you said "momma" for the first time! It sounds more like "maaaaaawwwwma", but I'll take it! You only say it when you fall or if you're in pain, but that's because I give the best kisses and I have magical hugs that make everything turn into rainbows and butterflies! </div>

You love to snuggle! You will go into your room {Oh! You can open doors now too...we have to keep the bathrooms locked!}, grab your blanket and pacifier, and then come and sit in my lap. It's my FAVORITE time of day! You also like to go grab a book and then sit in my lap so I can read it to you. I LOVE it! Please don't stop doing this! </div>

Your favorite thing to do during play time is either throw your toy balls or kick them. You're actually really good! Mrs. MT {your babysitter, while I work in the morning} said that you have really good hand-eye coordination for your age. You can kick a ball and make it go into the box. You can also hit a big ball with your bat when we throw it to you. It's quite impressive considering I still can't hit a baseball, or throw, or play any sport for that matter. </div>

I've neglected this little blog due to my crazy busy work schedule {we hired a new employee}, the holidays, and a surprise that I'll have to share with you soon. Let's catch up, shall we?!<br />
<br />
Christmas 2012 was a blast! We celebrated Christ, we spent time with family, and it even snowed on Christmas day! People, I live in Texas so this is a BIG deal!!!</div>

Ok, enough of the exclamation marks and I'll recap Christmas with a few photos.</div>

We rotate holidays with our families, so this Christmas we spent it with Bryan's side of the family. On Christmas eve we celebrated with his immediately family, and then ended the night at his Mamaw's house with the extended family.<br />

We make Christ the center of Christmas, but our family also receives "Santa's presents". Santa only brings stocking stuffers, and we are copying Jen's <a href="http://jenwilkin.blogspot.com/2011/11/santa-strategically.html">Christ/Santa traditions</a>. <br />

Before we opened any gifts, we sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus, and thanked God for His amazing rescue plan by sending His sweet Son to us as His gift!<br />

This was our first Christmas as a family by ourselves! EEk! So, keeping with my family's tradition I made frijoles borrachos {drunken beans, yum!!} and TAMALES.... <br />

It's NOT Christmas without TAMALES...I think Jesus would LOVE this meal!<br />
<br />
The biggest surprise in DFW was the snow God sent to us! Since we were by ourselves on the 25th, it was the perfect excuse to stay in PJs all day!<br />

...this is reason #23 of why I will never move back to H-town. #23--Dallas/Fort Worth gets snow almost every winter! It has never snowed in DFW on Christmas {at least not the past 7 1/2 years that I've lived here}, so this snow day was a BIG deal! Texas BIG!<br />
<br />
And just for fun...I caught Caleb redecorating my Christmas tree...apparently balls belong in the tree...ornaments are round too...duh mom!<br />

This is our 3rd year to celebrate the Advent season by spending time in God's Word through our "<a href="http://bigkfam.blogspot.com/2012/10/jesus-centered-christmas-activity.html">Jesse Tree Ornament Activity</a>". I love this Jesus-centered activity and the way it tunes our hearts to focus on the Gospel and treasure Christ as we prepare for Christmas!</div>

<span class="indent-1"><span class="text Isa-11-1">Day #16 {my favorite!}, "The people of Nineveh listened to Jonah, and they started loving God. They learned to do what God said and to stop running away from him--just like Jonah. Many years later, God was going to send another Messenger with the same wonderful message. like Jonah, he would spend three days in utter darkness. But this Messenger would be God's own Son. He would be called "The Word" because he himself would be God's Message. God's Message translated into our own language. Everything God wanted to say to the whole world --in a Person."

<i>God's heart is good and He does good</i>. I hope one day I will live from a heart that fully believes this <i>truth</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The past couple of months have been hard. Really hard. I feel as though God has stopped listening to my prayers. My strength is fading after praying the same prayer for over 2 years now. There are no changes, but the same <a href="http://bigkfam.blogspot.com/2012/05/waiting.html"><i><b>waiting</b></i></a>. In this Christian life, we are promised suffering so I should not be surprised. What does surprise me, is how painful it hurts. My family is healthy, my child is alive, and I live in the suburbs, so I feel like a silly child voicing the pain. But this is my <i>pain</i>. My <i>suffering</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since the moment we started trying to have a baby I prayed. "Lord, let me give birth to a healthy baby! Please allow me the privileged to be a mother, and help us financially so that I can be a stay-at-home-mom!" God chose to not answer the second part of the prayer, because <i><b>He is good and He does good</b></i>. {Lord, let my heart believe this TRUTH!}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God has been so gracious in providing a part-time job for me, so that I have the ability to contribute financially to our family and see my sweet boy during the day. The suffering is, I don't want to work. Bryan paid for 100% of his college, and I paid for 50% of my college...meaning we have student loans. <b>We're in debt</b>. Until we pay off our student loans, we cannot afford to lose my part-time income. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart's desire is to have one job, not two. To be a mother {teacher, caregiver, wife, home organizer}. With two jobs {Mother + Director of Operations}, I feel like I can't do either well. The days that I feel like a successful mother {Caleb is learning, we've played together, dinner is made, the house is cleaned} are the days I'm late to work in the morning or missing a report. The days I'm a successful employee are the days that the house looks like a farm and Caleb is crying because dinner is an hour late {and it's pizza for the third time that week}. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I live in constant chaos trying to balance work plus motherhood. I'm emotionally exhausted, and my heart grows tired of praying the same prayer. God rescue me from my self-inflicted financial mistakes! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart cries a little more each time Caleb motions for his babysitter to pick him up instead of me. I'm thankful for MT loving my baby and caring for him while I work, but I long to be the only woman in my son's life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've held tight to God during the pain and the chaos, but I'm tired. I'm exhausted from the pain of unanswered prayers, and from the hot fire of refinement. I want my heart to believe the <i>truth</i>, and to <b><i>treasure</i></b> <b>Christ</b>, but the pain from sanctification born through suffering is a wearisome journey. </div>
