Weekend Recap

It was just a typical winter weekend here on the homestead.  We didn't have a lot going on. On Friday night we had tickets to a chili and gumbo supper. We just did take-out. Trey had tickets to a fish fry, so he brought that home. We had a smorgasbord of food that night!

Makena gave a presentation and speech for the Grand Prairie Historical Society. It was a presentation she gave to the museum guests in November. There were around 50 people in attendance, so that is one of the biggest crowds that she has presented to (except for when she was in college).

On Saturday Carl and I had to go into town to get a part for Trey's hot water heater. We are trying everything before we finally give in and buy a new one (and it's looking more like that is the direction we are headed). We also ran into Wal-Mart, but not for long! I remember why I don't grocery shop on Saturdays! 


Trey only comes around when it's time to eat!
On this occasion, he had piece of cherry pie and a glass (jar) of chocolate milk!

Maggie Mae with her paci toy :)

Sundays are church days! 
I took her to the nursery during church. She had pulled her little ponytail out of her hair, so she looked a little unkept, ha!
She would rather play in the crate than with the toys!

And every Sunday after church we eat lunch at my parents' house. Wrenley loves her playhouse at their house. She talked Trey and Maggie into playing with her :) Anything for Wrenley!!
Just look at that smile :)

It was a nice, relaxing weekend. We made it through the first (and hopefully the last) TikTok ban! That was a long 12 hours! Thanks to President Trump for lifting the ban :)

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Much Love,
Beth

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...

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...

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...
