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

  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!...
