A Balancing Act

 It has definitely been a balancing act around here! We have been getting lots of baby loving, playing with big sister, and having a little fun of our own. 

My Malibu Barbie in the dirty White River

Trey got my Papa's old truck running!
I think it's a 72 model and it's a manual transmission.
Another thing to get licensed and insured, lol

Wrenley and I had a fun day at the pool!

She is so fun these days!

Wrenley and Nanny

I also got a haircut! It was much needed.

This girl LOVES to play Barbies!
You should see her bucket of dolls, playsets, and accessories.

My little squishy boy

Bath Time!!

Such a sweet little man

Macy doesn't know the meaning of personal space!
(She belongs to Wrenley and Wesley)

Toby Lewis (my parent's dog)

And would you look at that.. I got to spend a fun afternoon in the pool with Pappy💖

And what a beautiful reminder that God always keeps his promises.

As I look around at this season of life my heart is so full. Summer days seem to move a little faster when they are filled with Barbie adventures, jumping in the pool, and fun time with my sweet granddaughter who brings excitement to even the simplest of moments. Then there are sweet snuggles with my brand-new grandson, reminding me just how fleeting these early days are.
Add in fun family pets, riding in Papa's old truck, and making memories at the river on the jet ski with Makena, and no fancy vacation could compare.
Years from now, the details may blur, but I hope we will always remember these moments together.

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...
