Twenty Facts About Me

Hey there! I know I have several new readers so I'll start off with a quick little introduction.
My name is Beth. I am a married mom of three (ages 19, 17, and 14). I started this blog twelve years ago (wow!) as a scrapbook. I don't post fashion or beauty content because let's face it, that isn't really my jam. Oh, and popular opinions aren't really important to me either.
So now that all of the niceties are out of the way, let's go on to the twenty facts, shall we?


  1. I am a sinner saved by grace. I make mistakes and am in need of Jesus (and His forgiveness) daily. 
  2. I have been married to my sweet hubby for 20 years (will be 21 Mar.27). We married when we were 19 and almost 21.
  3. We had all three of our children in a 5 year time frame and would have definitely had more if I hadn't had my tubes tied. Fertility was never an issue!
  4. As a child I attended school in five different elementary schools around the state of Arkansas (my dad changed jobs often for a while). 
  5. I have lived in the same house all of my married life!
  6. My family is very important to me. 
  7. I am very transparent. I cannot hide how I feel.
  8. I attended college for four years and have no degree. I was set to graduate on Carlie's due date but was put on bedrest 8 weeks before due to high blood pressure. After she was born it just wasn't a priority to me anymore. 
  9. I love to read.
  10. I love to watch murder mysteries and true crime tv.
  11. Summer is my favorite season with fall coming in a close second.
  12. Spending time with my chickens de-stresses me.
  13. I would love to own a ranch: cows, sheep, pigs, & chickens.
  14. Midwifery has always peeked my interest. I think it mostly stems from the fact that my grandmother helped birth many babies (her religion doesn't believe in going to doctors). 
  15. I am an ex-vaxxer. My girls are fully immunized and my son had most of his...just not on the recommended schedule. The more I learn, the more I back away from  them. I definitely think mandatory vaccinations are a "no".
  16. I teach a preschool class at church on Wednesday nights and I love it!
  17. Homeschooling is one of the best decisions I have ever made! The freedom and opportunities are endless!
  18. I am a procrastinator and do my best work last-minute 🤣
  19. I struggle with anxiety and depression. 
  20. My favorite color is red.
That's it. Those are twenty (very random) facts about me. If you are new here, welcome! I'd love to have you stick around.

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!...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...

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...
