For many years, I longed to be invited to tables and to have deep community. But so often I felt I didn’t fit. I was too much or not enough…

Anytime I was invited, I came to the table feeling like I was already not worthy. That maybe it was an accident I got invited. Or that if the people really got to know me, they wouldn’t like me.

So I held back. I censored myself. I tried to be who I thought people wanted me to be. And I never felt good enough.

I second-guessed and psycho-analyzed my actions and words and reactions. And beat myself up when I felt like I probably wasn’t who someone wanted or hoped I would be.

Here’s the thing I’ve learned: when we pretend to be someone we’re not in order to win love or approval, we miss the opportunity for people actually get to know and truly love the person that we are.

Another hard-won truth: when we come into a room or sit at a table focusing on “do they like me?” or “do I belong here?”, we will be so in our own head that we probably will miss out on many opportunities to bless and encourage others.

God has taken me on a journey this past decade of slowly letting go of my tightly-held need to chase after applause, approval, and accolades. It has been hard. Really hard.

It’s meant letting go of trying to control my reputation and being okay with people not liking me. But you know what else??

It’s allowed me to start showing up in rooms and at tables and in relationships in a whole new way. I already know I’m approved by God so I can rest in that and not need to try to chase after it from others.

This frees me up to just love others well and focus on how I can pour into them instead of constantly stressing about how I am perceived or whether I’m who they thought I would be.

I’m letting more walls down. Trusting people more. Showing up more fully and having deeper community and relationship than I’ve ever experienced before.

And I feel like each year I get a little braver, a little less guarded, and am able to love people even more freely.

I can’t wait to see what this next decade holds!

One of the unexpected gifts of the retreat last week was meeting Hannah Capps Photography — she and I discovered we have SO many unique similarities in our backgrounds and multiple mutual friends… it was like meeting your long lost bestie that you never knew.

That person who cuts you off in traffic. That cashier who seemed grumpy. That co-worker who was extra irritable. The neighbor who reported your lawn to the HOA. You never know what they are going through or carrying. And how much they might desperately need extra kindness.

Before you clap back or get frustrated, stop to remind yourself, “I don’t know what they are going through, but I’m going to choose kindness today.” There’s something really liberating in realizing we don’t have to respond in the same way we are treated. We can choose to diffuse anger with compassion and calmness.

You never know what someone is walking through so let’s just choose kindness.

I took this boy to school last week for the first time all year since his car is in the shop… told him we were going to get a picture together. And he was like, “nope.” His smirk in this photo made me laugh.

I can still see his smirk in this pic.

He turned 17 this past week and that just feels so old. I’m not sure why but it just has hit me that my boy is a man now. I think maybe because he was the baby of the family for so long that it feels really weird for him to be almost an adult!!

As I looked through pictures from this past year, I noticed two themes: 1) Silas has grown so much this year! (See first and last pics for comparison – red uniform was early in the summer last year and the first pic is from recently). 2) Silas is always hanging out with his younger siblings and caring for them.

This was a year of so much physical and spiritual growth. I’ve watched Silas weather some big challenges, really seek the Lord, and choose to respond to hard situations with such strong character.

This was also the year Silas discovered his love for golf and it’s been fun to see him learn a new sport and become so passionate about it (so much so that he got a job at a golf course partly so he could earn free tee time every week!)

Silas came to us in December saying he felt like God was nudging him to switch schools for a long list of reasons. That was a big surprise to us, but after much prayer and many discussions and so many confirmations from God, we agreed and have been actively praying and pursuing what God has for him next year. I’m so eager to see what God has in store as he steps into something new for his Junior year.

Having a teen son has been so different than teen daughters, but I absolutely love it and am so ridiculously proud of the man Silas is becoming. His character, his work ethic, his cooking, watching him give his all on the court and the field, and seeing his genuine and deep love and care for his siblings. I am truly humbled and blessed to be his mom!

I love you, Silas! Happy 17th birthday!

Throwback pic — do you remember when our older three were this little??

We revised and updated my very popular 15 Chores for 4-Year-Olds post because our Micah is almost 4. And it has some fun pics on it like this one!

I got to go to David’s class Thursday afternoon and oh man how it warmed my mama heart. He’s years behind everyone else in the class, and requires constant supervision and help. And yet, he is so loved there!

During puzzle time, he decided he wanted to play with his emotional support toy that he brings to school pretty much every day because he’s so attached to it (it was a Christmas gift from Grandma & Grandpa)

But during craft time, he actually held the crayon and glue stick some and helped me color and put some glue on!! It actually was the longest I’ve actually ever seen him hold an object like a glue stick without throwing it!

So many might see David as a challenging or difficult child since he’s constantly on the move, he can get frustrated easily, he often has his own plan of what he wants to do and is pretty adamant about it, and he likes to throw things and rip things and knock things over. But his teachers and all the therapists and aids at his school only talk so highly of him and how much they love him.

They are constantly telling me about funny things he’s doing and the progress he’s making. His teacher told me today that all the kindergarten teachers are asking to have him in their class next year. To have others truly see your child for the gift you know he is is one of the most heartwarming things as a mom.

Read more about my experience and thoughts on visiting David’s class here.

This week, we had a door slammed in our face – not literally but figuratively. And I immediately felt panic…

This was something we’d been praying about and hoping for for one of our kids for the last few months. And in an instant, the thing we’d expected and prayed would be a yes was a clear, final no.

I wish I could tell you I felt complete peace and just knew that I could trust God despite the unexpected no.

But nope, I felt my heart start racing and my chest tighten and the panic rising…

“What are we going to do??” I gasped inwardly. And then I thought, “I gotta figure something out.”

So I went into mama bear fix it mode and started researching and trying to come up with Plan B, C, and D.

But nothing was really materializing in my searching grasping for ideas – which made me feel more panicky.

I went to Jesse in my anxious state and was like, “We have to figure something out. What are we going to do?”

He calmly replies: “I think we’re just supposed to wait.”

What?? Wait?? I don’t want to wait. I’m not patient like that!

Jesse proceeded to say, “I think God is up to something that we just can’t see right now and we need to trust Him.”

I’m so grateful to have a husband who helps to talk me off the ledge when I’m spinning out. And who reminds me of the truth when I need to hear – which I desperately did that day.

After he said that, it hit me…

I had prayed repeatedly for red lights and a closed door if this wasn’t God’s will for our child. And yet, when I got the answer to the very prayer I had prayed, I didn’t even recognize it and had let myself spiral into anxiety!

“Okay, God” I said, “I’m going to trust that You are in this no. I’m going to choose to see it as your protection or re-direction for my child. Help me to rest in You in this.”

I called our child to break the news… I thought they would be discouraged or stressed or upset by it (and that’s a big reason why I was initially feeling so much anxiety!)

Instead, they completely surprised me by their response! They were super chill and felt very confident that if the door closed they could trust God in it!

Talk about our kids teaching us what it looks like to trust God when we are struggling with doing it ourselves!

There’s still not clear direction. Another door hasn’t opened. We don’t have a clear plan.

But, I truly do feel more and more deeply confident that the God Who loves my child even more than I do is working behind the scenes. He has a plan. And He will reveal it to us when we need to know.

As I shared last week, “He is always on time but rarely early.”

So I trust Him – even when I can’t see what the future holds.

As I texted some friends two days ago: “I’m actually kind of excited because I just get to wait and see what God has planned. And trust that His plans are so good and every day I can continue to preach that truth to myself and entrust my child and their future to a good, good God.”

Books I Finished This Past Week

Mists Over the Channel Islands — This was my first Sarah Sundin book to read, can you believe it? I really enjoy World War II historical fiction so I’m so excited to explore her other books as she has written a lot of WWII historical fiction, I’ve heard (any suggestions on the best ones to read?) Stay tuned because I’m interviewing her on Wednesday on Instagram!

What I’m Watching

I asked for one thing for Mother’s Day and that was to get to watch Remarkably Bright Creatures that is based upon one of my favorite novels. Jesse and the older kids ended up watching it with me (and Jesse got me my favorite California Club from Jason’s Deli) and it was such a perfect Mother’s Day.

Note: the movie was good. The book is better (listen to it on audio if you can!), but I definitely recommend the movie, too!

What I’m Listening To

Project Hail Mary — This book came highly, highly recommended to me by two people who have great taste in books so I am listening to it… and I’m so intrigued by it. I’m a few hours in and I have absolutely no idea where it’s going or how it’s going to end up (no spoilers, please!). I’ve heard it’s best to listen to it not read it. The narration is very well done.

Podcast Episode This Week: The Surprising Lessons I’m Learning from Training for a 10k

Funnily enough, this episode of The Crystal Paine Show was originally supposed to be about my 22-hour getaway with Jesse and then naturally became much more an episode about running and how I have been training for a 10k!

Listen in as Jesse and I share how a two-week break from the podcast turned into a reflection on just how full life has been lately!  Between juggling travel ball schedules and long practices with Jesse and Silas, I have also been dealing with a completely new challenge for myself: running longer distances than I ever thought I could!

What began as a simple goal has turned into a deep learning experience around pacing, breathing, fueling, and even rethinking how I understand my own body, and I talk openly in this episode about how I’ve had to slow down, correct my breathing habits, and even explore things such as mouth taping after dealing with laryngitis and realizing how much my old habits were holding me back from my full potential.

I share how, as I have trained, I have been so surprised by how much running has changed not just my fitness but also my mindset. I am really learning that endurance is just as mental as it is physical and that sometimes finishing a run is less about speed and more about choosing to keep going one small step at a time.

I also share how tools such as the Runna app and Strava have helped me structure my training and actually understand what it means to train smart instead of just hard. It has been such a fascinating journey discovering firsthand how much strategy goes into something as simple as going for a run! (Use code CRYSTAL2 to try out the Runna app free for two weeks!)

Beyond the physical side, I also reflect on what it means to take on something new in my forties and how running has unexpectedly opened up new ways of seeing my neighborhood, my routines, and even my own limits.

From exploring unfamiliar streets to learning how to manage discomfort, this journey has become about more than just race day. It’s about growth, curiosity, and learning to trust myself in the process.

Jesse and I also discuss how this experience connects to bigger life themes such as stepping into new and even initially-uncomfortable challenges, embracing uncertainty, and letting our kids see us do hard things. I hope that you enjoy this episode!

I recommend doing a custom box because it allows you to customize the meat that they send and you are able to get exactly what you know you will use.

After you’ve chosen your box size, then you can customize what they will send you. I like that you can see exactly what your options are and you can figure out how to get the best bang for your buck!

Tips & Tricks

• Clip your CVS app coupons before you shop.
• Some stores may not have every item or prices may be higher.
• Check online or in-store on the shelf to see if items are available for you!
• Check sale dates. Deals can end or change fast.

FAQs about CVS Rewards Program:

How do I get CVS deals without using the app?

When entering the store, first visit the red Coupon Care Center to scan your card or enter your phone number and receive any store coupons. Make sure to enter your phone number or have the cashier scan your physical card at checkout.

How do Extra Bucks at CVS Work?

CVS ExtraBucks Rewards — often called “Extra Care Bucks” or ECBs –are store rewards you earn from select weekly deals. When you buy a qualifying item, you pay out of pocket at the register, and CVS prints (or sends to your app) an ECB coupon at the end of your transaction. This ECB works like cash on your next purchase, with a few exceptions (e.g., you can’t use it on stamps or gift cards).

How it works in practice:

1. Buy the qualifying items.
2. Get ECBs back on your receipt or in your app.
3. Use those ECBs to pay for your next transaction.
4. Repeat (“roll”) your ECBs to keep out-of-pocket costs low.

How Do I Find CVS Weekly Deals?

The weekly deals are advertised in the weekly fliers, distributed by email, and appear in your app. You can also pin and revisit this post because we update it with the best CVS deals each week!

How do I get started shopping CVS deals?

To start out, you would check your local ad or return to this post and find out what product you needed to buy that week, which would use a coupon and generate an ECB for the purchase price you paid. Once you bought the item, you would receive an ECB at the bottom of your receipt (or sent to you in the app), which you could use like cash on your next transaction, thus making that item, in essence, “free.” 

If you’re new to shopping CVS deals, our CVS 101 post outlines how to set up a CVS account and everything you need to know about weekly deals, coupons, ECBs, and other ways to save.

When do new CVS coupons come out?

The CVS weekly ad and coupons come out each Sunday.

How do I get a free CVS 8×10?

CVS regularly offers promo codes for a free 8×10 with free same day in-store pickup. Visit this post for the latest free CVS 8×10 deal. Go to the CVS Photo site and use the promo code at checkout. Be sure to select in-store pickup to save on shipping costs.

What is Home Chef

Home Chef is a meal delivery system that allows you to select from a wide variety of meals for yourself, your family, or a group of friends and have all the ingredients delivered to your house at a specified time period.

There’s no measuring or wasting extra ingredients because everything is pre-portioned and ready to go right out of the box.

Home Chef meals are made up of fresh (never frozen), pre-portioned ingredients. All you need to do is follow the simple instructions and you’ll have a gourmet-tasting dinner on the table with little to no effort or mess on your part!

How much is Homechef?

Your order cost will vary depending on the size of your order and the meal options you select.

Standard meals start at $9.99 per serving, depending on the available menu and options. Meal types vary in price, and customized options are more expensive.

The minimum weekly order value is $49.95 — however, keep in mind that you can easily pause your service or even just skip a week if you’ll be gone of if your plans change.

(And don’t forget to sign up for your discount to score 18 FREE meals + FREE dessert for life!!)

Why We Love Home Chef

I’m always a fan of “quick and easy” in the kitchen, so it was definitely fun to try Home Chef out for our family.

Their 15-minute meal kits make it SO easy to prioritize eating at home more while still keeping things super simple.

We’ve been trying different meals from Home Chef over the past year and have LOVED them! They are SO delicious, very nutritious, and easy to make!

Home Chef vs Hello Fresh

In many ways, the two services are similar.

However, although HelloFresh includes family-friendly options, Home Chef allows you to select up to six servings per recipe, which may better suit larger families and households.

Additionally, the Home Chef menu includes a variety of meal kits and dishes that require little to no preparation — such as their 15-minute meal kits and oven-ready kits!

Our Favorite Home Chef Meals

Since we love to keep things simple in our house, our favorite Home Chef Meals are the 15-minute meal kits and oven-ready kits that don’t require any prep.

We’ve received many different recipes in the boxes we’ve tried, including fun recipes like Pesto Chicken Sicilian Style Pizza, Greek Style Beef Bowls, Chipotle Pork Lettuce Tacos, Chipotle Flautas, and Chicken Thai Tacos.

All of the meals have been super delicious, but we loved the Chicken Thai Tacos the best!

And I love that you can keep the recipes and make your favorites over and over again if you’d like.

Looking for Home Chef Deals? Don’t Miss This One!

If you’re interested in trying Home Chef for the first time, don’t miss this HOT discount you can score right now!

Just sign up and you’ll get 18 FREE meals, free shipping on your first box, and FREE dessert for life!

But remember, it’s only valid for a limited time!

I tried this app out and it’s super easy to use! I’m really excited to start earning cash back on all of my gas purchases!!

How Does the Upside App Work?

To earn money back on gas, just follow these steps:

1. Go HERE.
2. Sign up.
3. Look at the map for offers in your area.
4. Claim an offer near you.
5. Fill up within 4 hours to redeem it.
6. There are two ways to redeem: either by submitting a receipt or by providing your card number at locations with a blue lightning bolt.
7. Print the receipt and submit it. Or select which card you’re using for instant processing without the need to submit a receipt. (Look for the blue lightning bolt — only available at select locations.)
8. That’s it! You’ll receive your cash back in 2-4 days!

I used the app today when I filled up on gas. I filled up at a Shell station that had the blue lightning bolt, and it was SO easy. Now it shows as processing in my account and I’ll see the cash back in just a couple days!

Is the Upside App (formerly GetUpside Gas App) Available Everywhere?

The Upside app is available in most cities across the U.S. and has over 25,000 gas stations participating nation wide.

In my area, I had TONS of choices of gas stations. I was very impressed, and I didn’t have to go out of my way even slightly!

How Much Can You Earn with the Upside App? 

For the gas rewards, you’ll typically earn up to $0.25/gallon depending on the location. So if you fill up 15 gallons, that’s $3.75 savings per fueling! Not bad!!

But that’s not all! They have a really great referral program, which allows you to earn even more. You’ll earn a $0.15/gallon bonus when you refer a friend (and they’ll also receive an extra $0.15/gallon bonus on their second fueling).

Also, referrers will continue to earn an extra $0.01/gallon every time their referral redeems an Upside gas offer. Pretty cool!

How do you cash out with the Upside Gas App?

You can cash out via paypal, gift cards, or direct deposit. Withdraw directly to your bank or to popular gift cards with no points to convert and no minimum to cash out.

And they have a big selection of popular gift cards to choose from, including Apple, Amazon, Starbucks, Dunkin, Panera, Kohl’s, Home Depot, Target, CVS, Ace Hardware, Walmart, and more!

Whichever way you choose to cash out, I have a feeling these earnings will add up VERY quickly — especially if you commute to work a lot!

Weight Watchers Coupon Code: 10 Months at $10/Month!

WeightWatchers is currently offering a HOT deal to get your first 10 months for just $10/month when you commit to a 10-month subscription! Plus, your first month will be free with code RESULTS10 at checkout!

That means you’ll get a total discount of $150! And you’ll pay nothing to get started today!

Valid for a limited time only.

How to use this WW promo code:

1. Go HERE.
2. Choose the Core plan.
3. Choose the 10-month plan that shows the promo price of $10/month for 10 months.
4. Click the “next step” button.
5. Use the promo code RESULTS10 to get your first month free!
6. Fill out your personal and payment information as you’re prompted to get started.

That’s it! You can get started right away!

Note: To get this deal, you have to commit to a 10-month subscription. You’ll get your first month for free, then pay just $10/month for the next 9 months and then the regular rate for any following months. After your 10-month introductory offer, your account will auto-renew at the standard monthly cost unless you cancel.

Weight Watchers Specials: What’s Different about this WW program?

Based on groundbreaking nutritional and behavior change research, the current WW program is completely personalized for the first time ever! When you sign up, you’ll be asked a series of questions that helps tailor the program to your preferences, allergies, diet choices, favorite foods, and more.

For example, I’ve been using WW on and off for almost 20 years. One thing that I haven’t liked in recent years is that as a vegetarian, I was really limited on my low-point protein options. But this time around, when I signed up, I was matched with a few protein options — eggs, lowfat yogurt, quinoa, etc. — to be ZeroPoint foods on my personalized plan! A few of my go-to favorite foods are also zero points for me (like avocados, whole wheat pasta, and potatoes). It’s really cool!

And on top of that, you’ll earn points for doing healthy things — like eating veggies, drinking water, and moving more.

The WW award-winning app makes it easier to lose weight while getting to eat more of the foods you love. It also includes 24/7 coach chat, weekly progress reports, a food barcode scanner (super easy to use!), a restaurant database, on-demand workouts, and more!

Try it out with this Weight Watchers Coupon!

If you’ve been wanting to try their new program, now is a GREAT time to do so while they’re offering this deal!

This is such a great offer because of the deeply discounted rate that we rarely see!

Also, when you commit to a longer subscription, you’re much more likely to see results than if you just try the program for one month — and results are what we love!

How much does Weight Watchers Cost?

The typical monthly fee for the Core Plan starts at $23 per month for a monthly subscription, and decreases to roughly $14 per month for an annual subscription. There is also a $20 starter fee (which is waived if you sign up for the annual subscription or for special promotions sometimes.)

Through this deal, you can get 10 months at just $10/month with your first month free!

Other Weight Watchers Deals

WeightWatchers usually has a few different deals to choose from depending on what you’re looking for and the time of year. You can choose from a few different plans and lengths of time — which varies the promotion and pricing.

If you’ve been wanting to try WeightWatchers, this is a really great opportunity!! Valid for a limited time only.
