The Blog, Loving My Lot, writes about embracing Jesus, His Church and Biblical womanhood. Her post, Running a Home While Running on Empty, is a great read especially as we wind down from the busy Christmas season.

Blog Repost: Behold, The Handmaid of the Lord
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, let's pause. Just a moment. One moment in between cookie decorating, present shopping, Christmas parties, and all the "normal" day to day activities us mom's navigate all year round. I came across this blog post, titled "Behold, The Handmaid of the Lord" from the blog Mentoring Moments, earlier this year. The content fitting for any season, yet especially good to read as we remember and celebrate Christ's birth.

One sentiment that really hit home: "I am humbled by Mary’s words. So often my prayer is that God will give me the life I want, instead of asking Him to enable me to want the life He gives, even with its dark clouds."

December 2013 Meeting Recap
You could feel the Christmas cheer all around! So glad to see so many of you at our meeting this past Thursday. Thank you for those who shared their crafting/gifting ideas. There were new faces too... that always makes us happy to bring new mom's into the fold of mom2mom. Welcome!
For those that missed, YOU were missed. We hope to see you back in the new year. Below you will find the recipe for Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments--the craft we made at our meeting--the perfect activity for you and your little ones.
Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments
2 cups applesauce
2 cups ground cinnamon
Mix together until well combined, and dough is formed. Add more cinnamon if dough is too sticky to handle.
Roll out dough to 1/4 inches thickness and cut out shapes.
Make a hole at the top of the ornament with a straw.
Bake at 250 degrees for 2 hours. Allow the ornament to continue to dry out on a cooking rack for an additional 24 hours before hanging.

As we shop and gather presents for family, this mom2mom Quick Tip could not come at a better time.

Organizing Quick Tip by Julie Barrett: I like to keep a log of gifts given to family and friends. I put it into an Excel spreadsheet and it helps me with planning for future gifts as well as budgeting.

Christmas Gift Ideas...Outside the Box
Give a gift that goes beyond just a shiny trinket. We've complied a short list of organizations that help others and offer unique Christmas gift for those on your list.
1. Food for the Hungry - From child sponsorships to providing water purification packets and more to villages in need, you can pick monthly sponsorships as well as one time gifts. What if you gave the gift of a donation in someone's name?
2. World Vision - Similar to Food for the Hungry, you can donate in someone else's name, Word Vision even offers a free personalized card when doing so to let people know you have donated in their name.
3. Sevenly - Every week Sevenly teams up with a charity and helps raise funds and awareness for 7 full days. Each purchase made gives $7 to the charity partner of the week. From t-shirts to jewelry, this site is constantly full of unique and artistic finds.
4. Love-Water - Is a non-profit group, using proceeds from t-shirt and accessory sales to provide families in need with clean water and also to equip families with tools to succeed in life.
What organizations do you like to support during the Holidays, and year round, were a donation in another's name would make the perfect Christmas gift? Leave us a comment and let us know!
