A Radio, Curls, and The Disco Ball

Trey woke up yesterday and the first thing
he went for was this Leap Frog radio.
This thing has really been around the block:   it was
Carlie's first, then it was Makena's and now it's T's.
My sweet big-girl, Carlie.  She got her hair cut a few weeks
ago and got a layer put in it, which I wasn't too sure about, but it
turns out that it is perfect for her natural curls :)

Today we went to Pine Bluff with my grandmother to take some blinds back to JCPenney and I had to run in Lowe's to get a new rug.  While we were in Lowe's, Makena found a disco ball lamp and fell head over heels
in love.  She just likes that kind of stuff.  Anyway, she had the rest of her birthday money with her and decided that she want to buy this lamp. In car on the way back home I overheard her and Carlie talking about having a party at midnight tonight (with the disco ball lamp and lots of music and food!)!!  I didn't dare say anything because I know for a fact that they will both be in bed asleep at that time.  They've tried staying up before, but we keep a pretty strict schedule and their bedtime has been 9:00 for a while now.  They usually don't make it past 10:30 :) 
Today is my grandmother's 75Th birthday but we are having her party tomorrow night.  I feel very blessed to have 3 of my grandparents left.  My kids enjoy Grammy and Papa a lot.  She rides them around on the Gator and pretty much lets them get by with murder!!  Of course they just live about 1/2 a mile down the road, so the kids spend a lot of time there.  They don't get to see Papaw G as much, but always enjoy their time with him too :)

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
