Homeschool Musings and More!

Carlie Erin, working hard on her Algebra 2

Makena Faith does NOT love Physical Science (yet).  Hopefully she will like it a little more as the year goes on !!

Trey had his first soccer practice on Tuesday evening.  He loved it!  I think it is so great that he is able to have some time with "the boys" (there are about 4 girls on his team also, but he mostly hangs with the boys)!

We took about half a day off from school on Tuesday and went to Little Rock with my mom.  We made a Sam's run, stopped by Academy, and then we went to the mall.  I have been needing a new fall scent.  I actually had this one last year and I loved it.  So marshmallow pumpkin latte it is!

We started the Gospel Project at Church on Wednesday night.
Our lessons are about Elijah for a while.  This week it was about his confrontation with evil King Ahab.  I found this cute craft on Pinterest for my kids to do.  They loved it!  They just thought it was too cool that I picked up sticks out of my yard and tore up paper for them to craft with!!

Me (looking ratchet) and Makena Faith at Trey's soccer practice tonight.  She and I had a good time watching him.  Boys are just different and a little gross.  When he got in the car he took off his shin guards and said, "look, there is sweat running down them" (and there was)!  Carl didn't get to start harvesting rice today because they were working on the combine and then it showered a bit, so he stayed at home with Carlie who is running a fever and has a sore throat (lovely).  She probably needs her tonsils taken out, but literally freaks out any time you mention surgery!

And the coolest (homeschool) teacher award goes to me!  I mean, how many teachers can say they wear their snuggly leopard bathrobe AND matching socks to teach in?!

This was Trey at practice tonight.  He really does like it and seems to be catching on quickly.
We call him the T-train!

Busy, Busy Week!!

Much Love,
Beth

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...
