Planner Stack 2023

I'm starting out the new year with a new planner stack! Unlike last year, I am starting with only two.

The Happy Planner is a constant for me.

I struggle with what to use this page for.

It is marked for priorities/goals and important dates at the bottom.

But the large part is bullet journal style.

Sometimes I cover it with stickers, but I am thinking that this year I may use it as a memory/scrapbook page for the month.

This is the front page for the month of January.

I had to add some things to make it my own.

Just your regular monthly layout.

I prefer the vertical layout.

It is just easier for me to keep track of lists, appointments and daily tracking.

The section on the left, I usually use for prayer requests.

Wouldn't you know that my birth month is beach themed :)

All of my favorite things!

My next planner was an accidental find. I am not a huge Pioneer Woman fan. I like her cookbooks but I find some of the designs a bit gaudy.

I thought this one was pretty and I like the hard binder cover.

It came with stickers in the front.

Had to add a little picture to personalize it.

Monthly spread.

Ok, so know I said I love a vertical layout, but this horizontal is perfect for a blogging planner.

There is also a place in the back for contacts.

Not sure if I will use this or not. We will see as the year progresses.

A note section is a must!

There is also a pocket.

This is really a great planner.

So, that's it! I am super excited about planning all the things for this year!

I promise to do a little update when I get it all decorated inside (Happy Planner).

Hope you all have a great weekend. We are planning a bonfire tonight and then we have a wedding to attend in Hot Springs tomorrow evening for one of Makena's friends, and Sunday is church/family day.

Carl will go back to work for the first time in a month on Monday or Tuesday. He isn't really ready but it has to come some time. We are just thankful for a job :)

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...
