A Winter Wonderland

Hello from the frozen tundra! It has been a frigid weekend here on the homestead. It all started overnight Thursday and into the wee hours of Friday morning.

Home sweet home

Carl and I went to check things out around the community shortly after waking up.

The church always looks beautiful in the snow.

The post office

My parent's house

The duck hunters are still here!

They must be insane to be out on the river in these temperatures!

The White River at Preston's Ferry

I'm ready for sandbar season!

On our way back from the river we came across this little creek.

So pretty but so cold!

We found Trey and Maggie while we were out and about.

This is her first snow💗

Carlie sent me a picture of Wrenley with her snowman.

She loved the snow this year!

Boone loves snow too!

Boone also loves naps :)

We ended our snowfall with just under 6 inches.

We have loved the slower pace that snow days bring. We played games, read, and watched lots of television. My mom made cookies and peanut butter chewies. They were hard to resist. Carl and Trey went to the farm and fed the deer while Makena and I just hung out at the house. We are thankful that everyone stayed safe and that we never lost electricity or internet. I'm not sure that I'm ready to rough it!

Hope you all have a fantastic week!

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

Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with Andrea and Erika for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

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 ...
