Whittaker Woman

I Must Share!

Ok, I can't keep this to myself. My man posted this on his blog and I must share too.  Here's to a little summer entertainment. H

Summer Vacation

After a couple of months of coming to this decision, I have decided to take a summer vacation. 

I plan to be back blogging... SOMETIME

But for now, it is traveling, sleeping, tanning and family. I hope you all have a wonderful Summer! 

See you soon. H

Sure

Mom can I put a tattoo on? 

Sure...

ON THE FACE? H

Sticker Boy

Do you guys remember this post? Mr Sticker Man. 

Well, it's good to know that he has not grown out of it! 

Oh he is so cute! H

Family Night... Splash Mountain

Sohaila was in charge of doing our last Family Night and she chose to have a Splash Mountain Family Night. Now I did what I typically do when planning and searched the internet, however it came up dry as bones. Not many creative idea's are floating around internet-land when it comes to Splash Mountain. So this one my friends was all Team Whittaker! 

We started by decorating with what we could find around the house that looked mountain like, or from the bayou. 

What Splash Mountain Night would be complete without the waterfall picture! 

We had meatball sandwiches for supper. Which turned into our boats for the ride. I printed out pictures of each of us and glued them on toothpicks that then went into the sandwiches.  Making our boat! 

We decorated the table like the ride. 

After dinner we had a mock ride. We rode the scooter through the "ride" and got splashed at the end!

Carlos even made a waterfall for us to go under. 

After it was Losiah's turn he got mad at us and yelled " I ALL WET!" I guess he did not read the Family Night memo saying it was SPLASH Mountain Night. 

The kids loved getting us all wet. What they did not know is we love pay back even more! At the end we had both the girls ride their scooters under the waterfall where Carlos and I hid with a huge cup of water that ended up all over them! It was a mess, but so much fun! H

Favorite thing about how God made you. Posted by: Chris | June 05, 2009 at 08:36 AM

Oh I like this question... I would say the favorite thing about how God made me would be that I love to live life. I have been able to understand that we are all going to die, how many of us are going to truly live? 

I think My List has helped me set goals to LIVE the life I have here! 

Any advice for us fabulous single girls who would love to meet a Christian guy, get married, and have some babies?? :) Posted by: ~abi~ | June 05, 2009 at 08:56 AM

I got an email the other day about this topic... I would expect, mothering, adoption, maybe cooking advice, but not dating tips! :) Abi, this is my advice to you. As a mom of three, who has been with the same man for 13 years, and living the mothering dream,  I would say have fun being single. Enjoy the time you have. Figure out what makes you YOU. Just like what Chris asked above, find out what is your favorite thing about how God made you and thrive in that. The time will come, even if it is not in your time frame, but the time will come when you will have those babies and the outside world will be a distant memory compared to the diapers, carpool, and cheerios that one day will consume  your life. So have fun now and know one day it will just happen. You will find the man, have the babies and long for a full nights rest! ;) H

how do you balance out time in ministry w/family time? I know family fun is huge and why w/implemented it in our family. How have you and Carlos found the balance OR is there not supposed to be any balance anyway ?? something we talk alot about....Posted by: becky | June 05, 2009 at 10:34 AM

Now we are getting deep! Family vs Ministry, I must confess that there is a mixture of sorrow and glee, when I think about the fact that we are leaving full time ministry in a local church. It has been our whole marriage. We have never had a day in our relationship where full time ministry at a local church did not consume us. Ministry has been our life, but even when it has filled every second we have learned to choose.  Time is what you make of it. It is your choice on how you spend your time. You ultimately have the power to say, we are checking out tonight. Monday is our family night, no one can call, text, email us away from that night. Everything can wait a couple of hours. Even life or death issues can wait an hour or two! Family comes before ministry.If your family falls apart so does your ministry. Family Nights are our balance. When we stop and spend time with our kids, intentional time we build our family. It's just a choice! 

What are 3 products you can't live without? Posted by: JV | June 05, 2009 at 12:55 PM

First... Big and Sexy Hair Spray, a girl needs her product and this beauty works for my hair when I choose to go curly or straight. We have a love affair going! 

Second... Salt and Pepper, I know it is two but I am cheating. Salt and Pepper are really the best spices in the kitchen. They enhance everything just enough to make it perfect! Oh and it would have to be Kosher Salt. No other would do! 

Third... AHH I can't decide. Ok so really I don't care about cleaning products, lotions and soaps don't matter, but if push comes to shove and I could only take 3 products on an island it would be hairspray, S&P and finally black eyeliner. I was going to say blush, but when I said the island thing I figured the sun would be doing its job and making them nice and pink! :) So black eyeliner it is! Third and final answer! :) 

What about you guys what three products can you not live without? 

Weekend Entertainment... Move?

Oh you guys crack me up. Molly, no we are not moving to Franklin. I would love to one day live in Franklin. It is a mix of country living mixed with Hollywood, which I think describes me. I love it, but we are not moving. Eric, although living near you guys would bring joy to my soul, it won't happen unless you guys move away from Columbus! So that is a no for Columbus, and finally Rachel, in case you have not figured it out... No we are not moving back to the IE. If we do ever move back to Cali I really hope IE is not the destination. But again I always said... Heck no to Georgia and look where I am! :) So although we are changing "jobs" we are still in the ATL! H

Weekend Entertainment... First Baby

What was the most difficult thing you had to adjust to when you had your first baby?

Posted by: Jennifer | June 05, 2009 at 07:38 AM

Many people say going from 2 to 3 kids is the hardest transition. When you go from man on man defense to zone defense people say its harder. In the Whittaker casa, that was not he case. The hardest transition was from none to one. I had 40 hours of HARD ACTIVE labor, followed by my hormones leaving me in a weepy tired mess, topped with my boobs on fire left me... IN SHOCK! The kind of shock that you don't forget when you have the next baby. So Jennifer I was in shock, but I think that I had to adjust to is the fact that my life is all about my baby. It's not about me anymore. I may be tired, but the baby is hungry, I may want to leave the house, but the baby needs to nap. I may need to brush my teeth but the baby... the baby, the baby. 

That is still something that I am not working through. At the beginning of parenthood you get in survival mode. You just do what you got to do. Its about the baby.  Parts of YOU have to go on the back burner. What I have found is that I kept them on the back burner. And now that my kids are a little more self sufficient I struggle to remember the things I did for ME. So I would say that adjusting to life without me being the center was the hardest part. 

What about you guys, what was the most difficult thing for you? H

Weekend Entertainment

I have struggled to know what to post on the weekends so I thought I'd start a little thing to give you some some "weekend entertainment". Here's how it will work. It is kinda like You Ask I'll Answer, but with some boundaries. So the first 5 people who ask me a question in the comments I will answer them. It's simple. One question from each person. And I will answer. This may be lame or it may be fun. Lets see. Ready set ask... 

H

Visitors

Look at my face and then look at my son. We were having a battle when this picture was taken. I love how it looks normal until you stop and I point out the fact that I was about to throw some serious parenting down on my three year old. This has nothing to do with the picture however it is all I see. So I thought I would start and share the "fun" side of this picture. Plus my hair looks awful but that is a personal issue. No hair comments please. :) 

Wow, maybe I should start my blog post instead of rambling. I promise there is some depth behind this picture. You see this is the Thruston Family. They happen to be the couple that lead me to the Lord. Which is a good blog post if you have not already read it.  I became a Christian in their living room, it was about the time when their kids were my kids age. Talk about full circle. They were heading through the ATL and wanted to have a meal. It just so happened that I was going to be in Franklin, Tn. So we ended up meeting there. We had a great lunch at Marridee's and attempted to catch up as much as you can when you have a three year old who wants nothing to sit on your lap wiggle around and eat his sugar cookie. None the less it was fun to see them and show them a little around my town. Wait. No. Well, ok I do know Franklin pretty well. I just can't claim it as mine. H

Oh, The Difference

Two years ago when Sohaila got her shots for kindergarten she had 4 grown women holding her down. She sucker punched me and gave me massive scratches down my arm. It was as if I was leading her to the the slaughtering house and this was her last attempt to live. Oh, the difference in children. Seanna made it to the 5th shot before a single tear escaped onto her cheek. I wonder what little man will be like? H

My Biscuits

My girls learned how to make homemade biscuits. Now I love me some pop-the-can kind of biscuits, but besides those I have not been much of a fan. I guess I did not grow up with them, but now that my kids know how to make them...

We may end up a biscuit family! H

On The Road Again... If You Follow Us You Must Read... THE WHOLE THING!

Adios Buckhead Church, Hola Buckhead Church And Your Moms Church And Your Church

Posted on 01. Jun, 2009 by loswhit.

(71)

I have a dream.  Wait.  Dangit.  That line’s used already.
Let me try that again…
I live a dream. I do. For some reason, God has dropped me smack dab in the middle of a fantasy. I don’t pretend to think I don’t have it well. I do. And the dream keeps getting bigger.
If you look to the right side of my blog you see this…

“My life goal is to inspire a movement of authenticity among all generations of Christians that morphs the face of the evangelical church into a place of being real with yourself, others, and God.”

And it truly is. I’m slowly beginning to see the potential for that crazy statement to take place.
Opportunities that allow my family and I to chase hard after that statement are unfolding left and right.
From my music project with my new family at Integrity, to forming a tribe of creatives that I honestly believe will create culture which in turn will change the world. And many things in between.
The time has come to make an extremely hard decision.
I am going to cease being “Service Programming Director” at Buckhead Church.
This decision did not come easily. I mean seriously? I have most of your dream job. I know.
Thus I know it is a God thing.
I feel propelled to step out into a role where I can help the global church.
That would be Buckhead Church, your mom’s church, your church.
Jeff and I have been discussing this for a while and it did not come quickly or easily.
But it is the right decision and I’m extremely excited about the road that is being paved and still hot and smells like hot asphalt in front of me.
Here is the cool part.
I’m not going anywhere. Not moving back to So Cal. I’m staying right here. ATL baby. Dirty South. I’ll still be leading worship at Buckhead Church and ideating with Jeff and the amazing team here. So in a sense, I get to have my cake and eat it too. Only without the health insurance. 
I believe whole heartily in what North Point Ministries is doing around the world and am honored to be able to continue to be involved.
Just now, I get to be involved while being involved with you as well.
Here are the details from my boss.
Jeff Henderson is about to make his Ragamuffin Soul dot Com guest blogger appearance. Please welcome him with a round of applause.
From Jeff…
Is there anything Carlos Whittaker can’t do? He’s a great worship leader, can brainstorm like crazy and is the personification of developing online community. The dude can even play some mean ping-pong. (I should know. He beat me in the Buckhead Church staff ping-pong tourney in ‘08.) As you know, Carlos is the real deal. He loves Jesus. He loves Heather and the kids. He loves the Church. In turn, we all love Carlos. Knowing that, I knew it would probably be only a matter of time before God opened up other doors for Carlos to serve beyond Buckhead Church.

This week Carlos is transitioning from his role in Service Programming to help us launch “North Point Online.” Beginning August 16th, North Point Online will offer a live webcast of the Sunday evening worship service at Buckhead Church. Following the lead of our friends at LifeChurch.tv, NewSpring and others, we are looking forward to venturing into an online church experience that creates an opportunity for our attenders to invite their friends outside of Atlanta into a growing relationship with Christ. I have asked Carlos to help us with this new initiative.

After the launch in August, Carlos will transition off of the Buckhead staff into his own coaching/consulting ministry helping other churches, including ours. He is one of the most gifted people I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with and I’m excited to see the Lord open up doors for Carlos to impact the Church at a new level. In fact, his coaching venture is already off to an incredibly strong start.

He’ll still be a part of what God is doing at Buckhead, but now he’ll be able to be a part of what God is doing at your church as well. That’s a win-win. After all, we’re all on the same team anyway. (Plus, this year, I might be able to win the Buckhead staff ping-pong tournament.)

Ok. I wrote that. No. Kidding. Jeff wanted you to know from his mouth too. Or his fingers.
As well, so you know there is no drama what so ever. Nothing hiding in the darkness. So don’t bother looking. Like we seriously are having emo hugging times once a week. Andy and Jeff are my biggest cheerleaders and I’ll always appreciate them for that.

So where does that leave us? Self Employed. My family and I are pumped about this next adventure. I’m up for leading worship at your church, coming in and helping with your programming needs, ideating, consulting, sewing, preaching, KIDDING, and just plain disturbing and disrupting career Christians to a place of authentically desiring to sprint back into Christ’s arms again.
You ready?
‘Cause life is too short to not do what God is calling you to do.
Chase hard after God’s calling.
It’s better that way.
Let’s go.
Los

--- I figured you would want to know my side to this new road we will be going down. I must say I am so excited. As a wife there is just something powerful to see your man thriving. I am scared to death if I think about the details. On the other hand I remind myself that we had 61cents in our savings when we started a $23,000 adoption. God will provide. Even though I am sure this will stress me out I have seen his provision, and can not wait to see him provide again. Well there you go. Ready for the ride? Here we go! H

Georgia On My Mind

Hunting attire is new to me. I guess I can't say new since we are nearing our 2 year mark, but camo is so definitely not a Cali thing. 
Seanna is getting her south on! H

Imagine Wildlife In The Wilderness

We saw a ton of wildlife. Deer, coyotes, birds, and then some...

We chased butterflies,

caught frogs,

caught bigger frogs or is that a toad?

Hung out with sheep and chickens! I am just fueled by the outdoors! H

Back On

I feel like I just had a big deep breath! We were able to hang out with some of our best friends at a very cool place called Round Cove. It was FANTASTIC! Lets just say, that with a view like this...

seating like this,

activities like this...

this...

and this...

How could I not feel refreshed! I am ready for this week! H

What were we thinking...

OUT

The Whittaker's are OUT! Meaning we are heading out of town for some unplugged time and look forward to it. I will see you all on Monday. Have a great weekend! And don't be afraid to have a little fun ;). H

One more and then we are really OLD!

This was last year today... Our anniversary. 

There is nothing like having friends who "hit" milestones before you. I have a friend Tammy who paves the way for me on things. Every thing in her life is about 5 years ahead of me. Her eldest is 5 years older than mine, she paved the way by turning the big 30, 5 years before me, and her marriage is about 5 years older than mine. This actually has made our friendship so rich because I am able to learn so much from her as she walks through things before me. It also allows me to tease her because she has a teenager! She is 35! And has been married for YEARS! Then it happens, I find myself at the exact place I had just teased her about! And this is what is happening now. I remember thinking they have been married  FOREVER! And now today we have hit the mark that I remember feeling that with Matt and Tam. 9 Years! 

Carlos and I were talking about it last night. He said it felt like 9 years I thought it felt more like 7years. :) I guess I may have been a little more work than him. HA. 

Marriage is nothing like I thought it would be. It is so much harder yet so much more rewarding. It takes so much work, that  I did not realize that at the beginning. We were so naive. Maybe I should say I was. Naive or not I have chosen this man who has lead me in a marriage that has helped me become me. He has walked with me when I did not want to walk anymore. He has jumped into life with me. Our marriage, our life is so much more than I ever thought it could be. We have taken major risks together and it has proved so rewarding. I love him with all I got. Carlos has enriched my soul. His love, humor, honesty, his mercy, his freedom to LIVE LIFE has given me more than I could ask for in a marriage. I love you baby! Here's to 9 more! H

Coupons

Coupons, coupons, coupons! 

Does it take time... YES! 

Do I buy stuff that I would not normally buy... YES

Is it worth it... YES! 

So let me give you the scoop on coupons. I began cutting coupons about 5 years ago through a website called The Grocery Game. This website taught me many things about couponing. One of the major lessons I learned was there is always a rock bottom sale price to each and every product AND this is when you want to use a coupon in order to get your best deals. Couponing is a "job", it is work, but with some organization and some help from others it is well worth the time you spend. 

You need to understand the cycle of sales at your grocery store. Many products will hit their lowest-price every 8 weeks or so. What you want to do, is buy enough of a certain product when it is at it's lowest price to last you till it is on sale again. I try to do this with things like cereal, cleaning products, and toiletries. 

How do you get started?  You will need help! Find a website that will give you the deals. There are many sites out there that can help and walk you through it. Some charge a small fee others are free.  I have been using Southern Savers. I like her style it is clean and crisp. I get overwhelmed when websites are cluttered. I think that is why I like hers the best. And best part is it is FREE! I have heard of others such as Money Saving Mom. There also is Coupon Mom. Many other sites exist these are just ones I have heard of. I would love for you to comment on others if you know of them. 

Once you find a site you like that works with the stores in your city you are ready to begin. 

Where do you get the coupons? I get the coupons from all over. I do buy the Sunday paper. Southern Savers will tell us when there is a online coupon that I can just print. I also sign up for other coupon books that come in the mail, such as Kraft. 

Stores-  I think one of the first steps would be to research your local stores and their coupon policies. When I lived in Cali, Vons and Ralphs at the time would double any coupon up to $2.50. Which is amazing! Gosh the two stores I shop at now will only double a coupon if it is under 50 cents! There are so many things I can talk about in regards to store coupon policies! Some stores will let you use competitor coupons. Some stores will let you put coupons on their "club cards", some stores have triple coupon days. There are just so many details I could talk about, but I would check with your stores. And these websites should also help. 

Does it really take 2 hours? Sometimes! From the time that I cut the coupons, organized them, file them, then researched, make my list, and finally pulled the coupons for that shopping trip many times it is an hour or longer. I often do things in chunks to break up the time. But again it is worth it! 

Products- I am not a brand person. There is nothing that I wont try. But here is the deal, if someone was outside the grocery store  handing out a product for free would you take it? I would! That is how I look at it. I got some free sour cream dip the other day. I would NEVER buy it because I would rather make it but because it was free it was perfect for my dinner party the next night. You do have to be creative but again, with the money you are saving you will be able to buy the certain things that YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT! 

Let me say that I have had a huge gap in my couponing! When I moved here The Grocery Game did not work as well. So I basically stopped. It was not until my friend April showed me Southern Savers that I got back into the grocery game. I can't tell you the validation I feel when I pay a so little for so much! 

So I guess that is the intro to coupons. Please let me know of other sites you may use. I welcome other questions too! H

Family Night... Sneak Peak

Our holiday plans changed and we were left with a open day which turned into Sohaila planning a family night. Here is a sneak peak... HMM what could it be. I will post the night later this week. Just thought I'd tease you all. 

My Man Decorates

Carlos Is currently doing a Listening Party for the new United Hillsong CD. I logged on to my computer to see this...

Looks good right? Well, the problem is that all these things are from other area's of my house.  He "redecorated" a corner in our casa for this shindig and I must say... I like it. Looks good babe! H

Southern Savers Comes Through Again!

This weeks savings... Total amount of groceries= $119.52 

Paid $40.25 for my $120 in groceries. 

Saved $79.27

It was worth my 2 hours of coupon cutting! 

Family Night... Welcome 2 Summer

Today is the last day of school and we are EXCITED! 

So we decided to have a welcome 2 summer party! 

We began by picking up Sohaila at the bus stop.  She was armed and ready within seconds.

We then had a water balloon toss. 

Which turned... 

Bad at times,

she quickly rebounded! 

We had snacks. Pudding snacks, lemonade and watermelon. 

And finally some bubbles! 

The Whittaker's are now ready for summer! H

Girls Date

I had a moment to snag some girl time with the littles. We went to the mall where we have maximized our time. We first hit Macy's and tried on dresses to rate their twirl factor. We then hit the MAC counter where were we got blush and lipgloss. We went to William Sonoma who just so happened to have samples out. The next stop was bath and body for some smell good lotion samples. And finally computer time at Mac! Who say's you can't have a girls day and spend nothing! H

Bed Time

Some things are just precious! 

She went up and got her jammies on along with some extras. H

More Indian Food

 

I had some great cooking lessons from Mrs Nadu this past weekend! She is the mama of one of Carlos' best friends. We made these great things called vada. So good! 

One of the best things I learned from her was done in these ice cube trays. She makes a ginger paste, ginger paste, almond paste she blends the things up and adds a little bit of water and freezes it. I was thinking it would be great to do this with chipotle too! So fun learning! It is so enjoy trying different cultures food and spices. My go to is Mexican food. It is just simple and I always have all the ingredients. What about you. What is your go to food? H

What is Chiquaqua?

So I was chatting with my friend in China the other day. We were catching up when she asked me to help with some mexican recipes. Here is our chat...

You have to admit that is funny. Here I thought it was some kind of cactus then I google it and it is a dog. H

Georgia On My Mind...

Neighborhood Graduate Congratulations are new to me. I don't know if this is strictly done her in GA, but I have never seen this done before. Each neighborhood community has a sign out with the names of the local graduates on it. I think it is kinda fun. Kinda creepy, kinda fun! :) H

Husband vs Wife

The Whittaker's worked hard and did some deep cleaning this weekend. While in our room, I needed to use Carlos' big muscles and asked him to take something down for me. He then looked to his left where he saw a box of "memory clothes". It was tucked away, actually taped shut because it was so full. He was so excited to open it and look inside. We laughed as he pulled each peace out made comments about that time in our lives. When he was done he put it away...

Umm, "Can you fix that" I asked. He could not believe I was going to make him fix it. 

I did. H

Free Hair Treatment!

Look at this great deal! Kerastase is offering a free treatment and blow dry service! FREE! Did I mention that! I booked mine how about you? Check the link for salons near you! This was to good not to share!

Old French Fries

There she is! She looks put together, doesn't she?  Friends let me tell you a little secret... she is a disaster! I have NEVER seen my car so messy. And that says a lot! Now I can't claim I have never seen Carlos' car so messy because he has brought my awareness to new levels! However because we share a car I clean it out before it gets bad. Yet with all our our travel and chaos, the car has slipped into an unrecognizable state on the inside. So I thought I would humiliate myself and play a little game. Sound fun? Nothing like embarrassment! 

Here we go... I want to see who can guess what is in my car. Try to guess 10 items in my car that don't belong there. Whoever gets the most right wins a $10 itunes card! I will do some cleaning today!
