Weekend Rewind: A Little Boring Edition

Some weekends are packed with plans, places to be, and plenty to talk about. And there are weekends like this one! We didn't go anywhere exciting, there were no big projects or celebrations, and I'm pretty sure no one would be lining up to make a movie about it.

So, there may not be a whole lot to recap this Monday but grab your coffee anyway. Here's a little look at our perfectly ordinary weekend...

Carl started rice harvest on Thursday of this week, so his weekend was pretty much spent at the farm or at the rice mill taking the crops in, oh and changing bean water. It' literally never ending this time of year!

Headed to the field!

Waiting in line to get dumped.

Storm clouds rolling in

I kept Wesley here at home on Friday. We had a great day. Just hanging out and getting all the baby love I could get💙 He is literally the sweetest baby in the world.

This made me laugh out loud.

He looks like a little man just laid back in his easy chair watching Elmo 😊

On Saturday I was at home alone all day. I would be lying if I said I hadn't been looking forward to it all week. It was a pretty productive day. The only downside of the day was the sore throat that I started getting later in the afternoon. I didn't take a single picture all day, though.

Of course, Sundays are church days. I felt okay this morning, so I got up, cooked muffins for breakfast, and got ready for church. Carlie always sends me pictures of the kids on Sunday morning and these are the ones I got yesterday:

All the heart eyes for this boy😍

These two cuties have my whole heart!

After church, Wrenley always likes to ride home with BeBe and Pappy. I had Carl snap this picture of us before we went in the house to change. Please disregard my dead grass...it's been brutally hot and extremely dry here for the past month.

She will always be BeBe's baby girl.

Carl and Trey were both sick last week, as were Wesley and Wrenley. I guess I am the next victim. I opted out of church last night because I felt awful. Maybe I just need a little rest. I have been going non-stop for about a month now.

And that was pretty much our weekend. Nothing to write home about--and apparently still enough for me to write a blog post about

Monday will bring another week of schedules, responsibilities, and all the usual things waiting for us, but for now, I am thankful for a quiet weekend and the people I got to spend it with.

Sometimes a little boring is good!

Here's to another good week ahead, friends!

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...
