Happy Mother's Day!

I'd like to give a big shout out to all the Mother's today!!  It is such an important role.  I realize on a daily basis how much influence I have on my children, and I try to be mindful of that with every decision I make.  They are watching and learning.
I happen to think that I have one of the best Moms in the world :)  She is so kind and generous, as well as completely selfless.  I don't know what I'd do without her!
I'm also thankful that I have a great mother-in-law who did a great job raising my Carl!  He is awesome, and I definitely think we owe that at least partly to her :)
My Mommy got me and Jamie a new pair of TOMS!
I told you she was great :)
Mom was opening her present from us....a new bag for the pool and a towel chair thingy....I know that doesn't explain it, but I'm really tired and don't want to go into it. 
A class at school made this cute little flower pot (an owl) for me with a plant and a sweet little Mother's Day card signed by  the kids in that class.   It was so thoughtful!

The kids got me this owl bracelet.  I had been looking at it for a while and Carl helped them get it for me.

I wore my new Toms the other day to school and I love them :)  Thank you, Mom!
Trey made this jewelry box for me out of class in his Sunday School class.  He was so proud that he decorated it all by himself!  So Sweet.

Each of the kids filled out these Mom's Gazettes that my Mom found somewhere.  It was so precious to see the things that mean the most to them individually.  Each of them were different.

I had a great Mother's Day and I am so proud to be a Mom to my three little monkeys!!

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...
