DITL: Monday

 Welcome to my DITL post-- otherwise known as "watch me attempt to be productive." I didn't wake up glowing, I didn't float into the kitchen, and my hair didn't cooperate.

But I did find these super cute moisturizing eye patches

Please ignore my dirty mirror. 
Another "Wren was here" moment. She loves brushing her teeth!

And I made myself a yummy weight loss drink. 


And then I got started my Bible Study/Memory work.
I really enjoy soaking it all in.

Then it was time for me to warm the car up and head to Trey's house to check on Maggie. I was really dreading this because as you can see it was 37 degrees and she always runs off to places she doesn't belong. 

Heater all the way up! Steering wheel heat on as well as the seats!
I hate the winter!

As soon as I got back home and warmed up, it was on to laundry!
We were busy catching up from the weekend!

After a couple of loads, I headed to my bedroom to put away some of that laundry!
It didn't take too long.

Then it was lunch time! Makena was also home today (the museum is closed on Mondays). She has been on a fitness journey for almost a year now and looks amazing I might add. But she tries to cook stuff that is good for you, with the right portion size. I, on the other hand, am a little lazy when it comes to prepping ahead of time, and when I'm hungry, well, it's time to eat! So around 11:45, we decided to fix lunch. So here she is, in all her gloriousness: 

Chimichanga with cheese dip and lime chips.
And it was good to the last bite.

Makena chose to put The Brady Bunch on while we were eating.
12 p.m.

I forgot to take pictures of me doing dishes, but I did take one of the clean kitchen! 

2:45 p.m.

Makena and I went to watch Wrenley tumble at gymnastics. We got about 3 miles up the road when this light came on. Carl assured me that it was fine, so we proceeded.

4 p.m.

She takes gymnastics in a town about 20 minutes from where we live. Wrenley was so happy to see us!
4:25 p.m.

We made it back home with our low-ish tire, and believe it or not, but Carl had dinner fixed for us! Chinese fried rice, egg rolls, and General Tso chicken. It was delicious too (sorry, no picture).

My beautiful but cold view.

5:45 p.m.

Ahh, I like this warm cozy view too!
6:30 p.m.

All fresh and showered! My mirror is still dirty, but that's okay!
8:30 p.m.

After editing the blog, it's finally time for bed! Goodnight, friends.
Today didn’t come with fireworks or life-changing revelations. It came with dishes, texts from grown kids, time with my granddaughter, and the occasional dramatic sigh — and somehow, that feels exactly right. These small, ordinary rhythms are where most of life actually lives. Now let’s both go switch the laundry we pretended we forgot about.



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...
