Six More Days and A New Name

Well, I'm sure that most of you have noticed that I changed the name of the our blog.  I always wanted to come up with something other than the last name thing.  So the other day I was listening to Taylor Swift (not necessarily by choice, my girls LOVE her!!) sing The Best Day, and in one part of that song she sings of princesses and pirate ships, so I thought that it would be a perfect new name for our blog :)  Today was another nice day, and we actually got to enjoy the outdoors today. 
For some reason I just couldn't go back to sleep after Carl left for work, so I got up and started working on my lesson plans for Trey's school.  After everyone got up and ate breakfast we went outside to do some chalking with sidewalk chalk.  Then we went in and got dressed for Mommy's photo shoot (that would be me taking pictures of them!)  By that time it was time for lunch so we came inside and Makena and Trey built a tent to lay in and watch TV.  He really is going to miss them a little bit, but then again, he will enjoy getting to do stuff alone too. 
We went swimming this afternoon and then came home and relaxed before starting dinner.  Carlie and Trey helped me cook, but Trey was the only one who let me get his picture.  He said, "I am the chef!"  Ratatouille is one of his favorite movies!! 
Carl is working late...still working as I'm writing this, in fact.  I love this time of year, but then again, I hate this time of year.  This is my time to learn a little of what it's like to be a single parent, and believe me I don't  EVER want to be a single parent!  Maybe tomorrow we can go to the farm and get some pictures of them harvesting.  Trey is always more interested in the big trucks than the combine, but he loves to go out there ;)

it out!! SO READY FOR RAZORBACK FOOTBALL :)

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
