Weekend Recap

 Happy Monday, friends! We have had such a fun weekend here on the homestead. Everything is supposed to be back to normal this week, but now winter weather is in the forecast. It is definitely not my favorite (I'm a summer girlie at heart). Anyhow, I promised a post about the Prayer Board Party I attended on Friday night, so here it goes!

Ellie Kate and Makena were doing their boards on the island

My mom even found Wrenley a little purple board with kitty stickers.

Me and Makena were excited to get started!

Eli, Wrenley, and Carlie 

Wrenley wanted to show off her mommy's board while I showed mine.

The whole crew!

The party was so fun and a little chaotic. My sister was supposed to come with Ellie Kate, but she had a kidney stone and had to go home. My mom didn't get to do her board with us because a cute little toddler kept having meltdowns! Eli and Ellie Kate came from the Sonic movie and since Jamie had to leave them for my mom to pick up, Eli had to come to the party. He mostly chilled in the living room and tried to play with Wrenley, but she wasn't having it! In the end, she settled down and worked on her board and she was so proud of it. We made my mom promise that she will make her prayer board on her own. 
I think it will be great to write down my prayers and just have that visual.  It will also be great to reflect on everything God has done at the end of the year.
We also ate pizza, candy, and other treats. This would be a lot of fun with a group of ladies.

Carl and I watched Wrenley on Friday afternoon and of course I have to post some pictures of her!
She was helping Pappy drive.
Don't worry, we are on the back roads!!

She loves going to check on Trey's dog, Maggie.

Sitting in her lawn chair, wearing her Little Sleepies & sparkly Crocs, and eating her nonuts!
She does what she wants at BeBe and Pappy's house!

We didn't do much on Saturday. Carl has been half sick and did something to his back, so we just hung out around the house. He helped Trey try to get the heater in his truck working. I think they finally got it. There is always something going on around here!
We all went to church on Sunday. I had a Sunday School class full of kiddos. I love that!
Wrenley with her church bestie, Adalee.
They haven't seen each other in a couple of weeks.

Hope you all had a great weekend and have plans to stay warm this week!

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...
