January Favorites

Praise the Lord it is finally January 31st (insert me doing a happy dance). There should definitely be a song about how long it seems to be every. year. I mean we already have "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Long December", why not Everlasting January or something like that?!
 Ok, so I've rambled enough. Here are some of my favorites for the month of January!
First and foremost are my new cowboy boots that I received as a Christmas present. I love them! 

Next are my fringe booties. For some reason I have been on a southwest/cowboy kick lately!

I have also been loving this puffy jacket in the color misty pink.
It is very cozy and super cute!

Ok, let's talk beauty products for a few...
This eye cream by Clinique is the bomb! 

Don't laugh too hard at my "old lady" cream! I like this because unlike so many other moisturizers, it isn't oily! Just because my skin may get dry in the winter doesn't mean I want it greasy oily! 

Yall...this stuff smells so good (Rose), it leaves your hair super soft, and it is pretty😊😊
But mainly the first two things. My girls love it too!

These pens though! I use these for my planners and also for grading or correcting school work. They write well and seem to last for a good while. 

Now for some of our favorite TV shows. 
Chrisley Knows Best is definitely one of my guilty pleasures!
It's just so darn funny! Carl wouldn't admit it, but he watches it too!

Carlie and Trey got me hooked on this one. 
The new episodes start next Tuesday and we will be watching!

Ok, so I got over the Duggars after all of the scandalous activity with Josh.
I then started watching the TLC show about the big family (The Willises) with all the singing kids which ended abruptly after, you guessed it, a sexual scandal. So I have sworn off of TLC!  
The Bates are a very conservative Christian family with 19 kids and seem to be scandal free but only time will tell! I have watched them since they appeared with the Duggars, so it is kind of neat to see them all grown up.

Here is the book I was talking about in my last post. Great read. I was reminded of things that I have known for years and I was also encouraged and inspired to put some things into my daily prayers. 

This is also a good one, although I sat it aside temporarily to read the book about praying.


This book was bought for my girls. It is about true beauty and was written by a former Victoria's Secret Model. I haven't started it yet, but I will give it a good once-over before passing it on to them. They also have devotion books that go with it. I'm sure it is fine but you can never be too careful.

And last but not least, Eat That Frog! This is really a book about time management. It kind of goes with the idea that if the first thing you do in the morning is eat a live frog, you can go through your day with the satisfaction of knowing that is probably the worst thing that is going to happen to you that day. Your "Frog " is your biggest most important task, the one that you will most likely procrastinate on if you don't do something about it. It can also be the task with the greatest impact on your life!

So that's it. Those are my favorites for the month of January. 

Much Love,
Beth

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!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
