New Reads

I have read/listened to a surprising number of books this summer. I'm warning you that my list of books are all over the place :) Here are the most recent ones:

The Girl Who Was Taken by Charlie Donlea
This is a suspenseful book with many twists and turns. It is about two abducted girls- one who returns and one who doesn't. Ya'll, I never guessed the ending of this book! It is a must-read! 

The Most Overlooked Women of the Bible by Mary DeMuth
Many of us believe we are unseen. Memories of being on the outside still haunt us today. We somehow believe that we are unique in being overlooked. And yet, the Bible is full of women just like us, women who felt on the outside of life, unseen and voiceless.  This book will help you find your place in this world, rest in being seen, and empower you to find your unique voice.

There Is a River by Patricia Sweet
This is a wonderful Christian Fiction book. It is set against the backdrop of a small church community in upstate New York. It weaves between past and present to tell a powerful story of betrayal, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal. With authentic characters and unflinching honesty about the complexities of faith, marriage, and parenting, this moving novel explores how God's grace can transform even the most broken relationships and bring light to the darkest corners of human experience.



My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan
This book was great. I know that it is also a Netflix film, but I haven't watched it yet. Julia Whelan has crafted a story that is fun and charming as it is powerful and wise. Ella Durran is a breath of fresh air and her story will stay with you long after you finish the book!

If you are looking for a good book to read, I would recommend any of these! 

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

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!...
