Weekend Recap

 Happy Monday, good friends! I hope you all had the best weekend. It was pretty low-key around here. On Friday, I watched Wrenley all day. I hadn't seen her in a whole week, so I was really needing my girl! 

She was watching my uncle's new dog, Skipper in our yard.

We ate McDonald's for breakfast. She wanted a McGriddle and a hashbrown. We went to Nanny and Pop's house and played all morning. Then Carl came home around 12 for the day. We "rested" for about an hour and then it was back to playing!
We had a tea party. 
She mostly just like drinking her tea from a spoon and making a mess.

Then we took a ride on the Ranger
She laughed and squealed because Boone came with us and ran in a big puddle of water.

Carlie and Caleb came and brought some take-out plates from a fish fry at the Christian school my kids attended when they were younger. Then she went outside and looked at where we are going to plant the garden. Somehow, she slid down and got mud all over her which led to a bath at BeBe's. I was worn out when they left, but it was a good day. She only got mad at me once (ha!).
I didn't take any pictures on Saturday. We used it as a catch-up and clean-up day. Carl was home, so he cleaned out his shop. I swear you couldn't even walk in there. It is much better now. He says he may put his jet boat down here, but it usually just stays at Trey's house. At least he can find what he needs now!
He also moved the hot tub down to Trey's. 
Makena had to work all day but opted out of the gym so she could enjoy the nice weather, because the weather in Arkansas changes on a dime and boy are we in for a change! 
On Sunday we went to church. It was a great day in the Lord's house! Trey had to leave church because he wasn't feeling well. I think he is fine, but he has been fighting allergies pretty bad over the past week. There is pollen everywhere!

 We had a bit of severe weather after church. There was a tornado warning. Wrenley called me to check on me from the bathroom. She said, "You're okay BeBe?" I thought it was so sweet. There was a funnel that may have briefly touched down not far from Carlie's house. Thank goodness there was no damage and everyone is just fine!
This is what a coworker sent Makena from her house in Stuttgart

The clouds were very ominous

Starting to clear

Trey came to our house during the storm and brought Maggie.
She's such a cute little stinker.

Despite the chaos, the unfinished to-do lists, and the realization that I forgot half the things I meant to do…Weekends are still the best. They’re full of little moments, small laughs, and just enough rest to help us survive another week.

And honestly? If the house is a little messy and the to-do list is still half full, that just means we did the weekend right.

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...
