Easter Preview

This is Makena's Easter dress:
She is the hardest to buy for because it's hard
to find plus-size clothing that is cute.  We found this
one on the Old Navy website.  Boutiques don't
carry true plus-size most of the time.

The girls shoes.  Too bad they don't like the little white
eyelet lace socks and stride rite shoes anymore. 

We are still trying to decide between these two dresses for Carlie.
I like them both.  The white is more fitted and straight and the green one
is a bubble.  She really likes the green one, I guess I just wanted them to
match a little more.  Again, long gone are the days of matching smocked dresses.
I know, GET OVER IT!
I guess Carlie's dress will just have to be a surprise, as will Trey's, since
I haven't bought him anything yet!  Boys are pretty easy and since we're going to LR on
Wednesday, I'll shop for him then.
Speaking of Wednesday, please pray for me as I am going for academic advising at UALR.  I'm very excited and nervous.  If I can't get the classes I need for the summer online, I'll be waiting until the fall.  I really want to start in the summer for numerous reasons.  Also pray for Trey because as of tomorrow morning around 8:30 he will be minus one tooth.  I took him last Monday and he has an abscess (never complained) so he has been on antibiotics for a week and tomorrow is THE DAY!  Just writing that makes me sick to my stomach because the last time he had a tooth pulled was after his accident when he was two, and that was just traumatic for me and him.  It took me and two nurses to hold him down, and I was as close as I have ever been to fainting.  Not a good time.  
Other than that, we are looking forward to a 4 day school week:  Yea for Good Friday!!
Hope you all have an awesome week.

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...
