Mother's Day 2014

Another successful Mother's Day is in the books! I, personally, had the best one so far! Carl was able to be home all weekend and we even got our laundry room project completed :) My kids and Mom showered me with lots of goodies, too!



These are a few of the things I got. My sweet Momma got me a pair of leopard Chacos, Makena got me a pretty pitcher, Trey got me some pretty earrings and Carlie got me some gray towels to go with my gray and yellow bathroom redo (another small project!)


My laundry area! I never think of taking a before picture, but it was just an ugly area separated by pretty red (my favorite color) doors. I kept the doors closed most of the time to hide the ugly!


Saturday morning we got up and went to buy some seeds so we could plant the garden. The girls and I stopped to take a selfie :)


I ended up coming home with this pretty hanging plant! It was another gift from Carl. He also got me a lounge chair for the back porch as well as a pretty skirt.


We had a cookout at our house on Saturday for my Mom. My sister and her kids were down, so it was a perfect time to take a picture with my mom and all of the girls.


I had to take a picture of my dad and his boys too!
It was pretty much a perfect weekend!

When I describe my mother I feel like I say the same thing every year. But she really is the kindest, most unselfish person I know. She does so much for my family, and like it is in most families, she is the glue that holds us together. I love her more than she will know and way more than I could ever show.


I love these three awesome kids. They are the best kids in the world. I am truly blessed to be called their "Mom".

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...
