Ramblings From The Munger House

Having fun with the cousins at Nanny's house
Toys in the pool :)
Makena's swollen hand after she got
stung by a red wasp. 

Carlie was being Trey's buddy for the day

It has been way too long since I last blogged, and to be perfectly honest, I'm having to try and dig pictures up
of stuff we have done over the past week.  We were visited Friday by the Simpson's.  They came in from Jonesboro on their way to Morrilton to give me and Makena our birthday presents.  The kids always enjoy getting together and playing in the pool and as you could see above the boys even took the monster trucks swimming.  Saturday was.....MY BIRTHDAY!!  Carl had to work that morning and the kids went to Grammy's and made me a birthday cake.  I know every mother probably says this, but I seriously think I have the best kids EVER!!  They are always wanting to help and do sweet things, not only for me, but for others too.  Carlie brought me breakfast in bed and then they made me a cake, AND my precious nephew, Noah called me and sang Happy Birthday to me :)  We all went to eat Mexican that evening and then ended the night with a quick swim.  I had a great birthday...but I'm still not telling you how old I am !! 
We've got a busy week ahead of us that includes, but is not limited to, Revival at our church, a birthday party for my grandmother, and a birthday party for Carl's step-dad.  My camera is fixed now, so maybe I'll have some more pictures to come :)

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...
