Discover Your Role in God's Story

This post is sponsored by Family Christian, but all opinions are my own. Affiliate links are included.

Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among the wise.

Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

- Proverbs 19: 20-21 (NIV)

Like most, we have a really hard time putting all our problems in His hands. The verse above is a reminder that God has plans for us and that no matter what plans we set for ourselves, His will prevail. It can sometimes be hard to know what our purpose is, but I feel better just knowing that everything happens for a reason (good or bad) and that He is working on our story.

Win Your Back to School List & Help Teachers

Thanks to Great Clips for sponsoring this post, but my love for supporting teachers is all my own.

I can’t believe it’s already time to start Back to School shopping! For us, Charlie is starting pre-school this year. I’m honestly not sure if we have to do any back to school shopping for him or not yet, but I’m sure we’ll find out at our meeting next month.

I do remember shopping when I was younger and we had to have all the Lisa Frank supplies. Remember them? Then as we got into high school, we were required to have that really expensive calculator. You know which one I’m talking about. I remember my father used his Dremel tool to etch my name into the back. If you lost that thing, big trouble!

Parents have to spend a lot of money getting their kids all the gear they need (and some they just want) for back to school. Great Clips is giving you the chance to win your back to school checklist! To enter, just upload a picture of your school supplies list to the #GREATLIST contest for your chance to win your entire list! There’s a new winner every day and prizes are shipped right to your front door. For complete details, please visit the #GREATLIST contest page.

If you win, not only will you save money by receiving your back to school supplies for free, but you won’t have to drag the kids out to the crowds for back to school shopping!

I’m a couponer. Honestly, I’m one of those “crazy” couponers that have enough shampoo, conditioner, and deodorant to last us a few years. However, it can be overwhelming. Many people do not want to bother with the time and energy it takes to do all of that clipping and comparing and whatnot that it takes to “coupon”.

Smartphones have made it so easy for everyone to get a slice of the “money-saving” pie.

Huge Savings at Blurb

Mostafa Keyhani is an extraordinary painter. Drawing from the Impressionist tradition, his work is alive with color and texture as he uses thin washes, areas of bare canvas, and thick impasto to impart an expression of organic life. While his paintings fetch high prices in galleries across the United States and Canada, his self-published books give each of his fans a chance to own his art. Keyhani is a Canadian resident born in Iran, and has had a journey as fantastic as his art. In this video, Blurb captures a glimpse at Keyhani's remarkable creative process. Perhaps it will inspire you to make your own book with Blurb.

Citrus Lane January 2014

We've been a Citrus Lane subscriber for awhile. For $29/month, you will receive 4-5 full-size products that are specifically geared towards your child's age and gender. Some subscription boxes you get a bunch of samples, but not Citrus Lane. We've received some really awesome things in boxes: A skip-hop lunch bag, green toys, and Barefoot Books. There's months that have awesome boxes and months that are not so awesome.

 

Our January Box came today- a little later than normal because of the crazy winter weather everyone's been having.
