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
