Weekend Recap: Fall Fun Edition

 Happy Monday, friends! I am running behind on getting this post up. That has been my mantra lately. 

We had a fantastic weekend here on the homestead. Harvest 2025 is complete, which means Carl is finished working on weekends (PTL!). My mom and dad hosted a Halloween party for our family. My sister and two of her three kids were with us. It was a lot of fun. I dressed up like a taco simply because I had it from last year's trunk or treat. Wrenley thought it was hilarious. She dressed up as a princess (imagine that!). She also loved that my brother-in-law, Tim, dressed up like a banana :) Trey came as a cowboy and brought Maggie, wearing her pretty red bandana. Elijah wore the unicorn costume; Ellie Kate was Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and Jamie (I didn't get her picture) was a pirate. We had punch, lots of sweets, and Pizza Hut Pizza. We also played games and decorated cookies. It rained, so we weren't able to carve our pumpkins (my dad didn't want a mess in his shop).

Happy Early Halloween!

Sunday was slower —cooler temps, cozy sweaters, church, and then a nice, relaxing afternoon watching our favorite series, which we have watched at least twice all the way through. We went back to church for a lesson and a birthday party for a special lady who turned 92. 
 
It was simple, but those are the weekends that fill my heart the most-- the ones that remind me that family time doesn't have to be fancy to be special. As much as I love summertime, I also love that fall has a way of slowing us down and bringing us closer together, one cozy time at a time.

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...

Friday Favorites

 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 ...
