Day 3 of potty training two little boys (my third attempt this year). Please send all the coffee, prayers, love, and Clorox wipes. Keeping this verse from james in mind because, WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!

Hubby built a table for me for Christmas! I think it's pretty nice, especially since it's the first thing he's ever built!! Still waiting on our bench, and then it will be complete!!

View of our festive little living room while I sit in the floor and watch the boys play in the playroom. (Yeah, I'm not a photographer, as you can see)

This little man makes my coffee in the keurig every single morning. He knows every step and I don't have to help him with a thing. Except, of course, when it's finished and it's time to drink it! He looks forward to it every morning and so do I! And most mornings he gets to do it a few times 😉

It's really hard to get a picture of two non-stop moving toddlers' feet, but you should have seen their joy when I pulled these cozy socks out for us to wear around the house this winter. I had no idea socks could be so fun!!

Y'all! Please tell me you've heard about Conway locally grown. It's like a year long farmers market for central arkansas. You order online by Tuesday at 10 pm and then pick up your tasty goods between 4-6 on Friday at the episcopal church on Mitchell street. So far we've bought pork chops, eggs, ground beef, muffins, cornbread, cheese, and apples and have been sooooooo pleased! Knowing exactly what you're feeding your family feels so good!!

On lucky days, this is how I choose to spend nap time. Two babies sleeping in the back seat, sitting at Hendrix village, drinking coffee, reading my @shereadstruth for the day, and looking at Instagram. It is pure joy for this introvert who NEEDS alone time!!

I have been messing up so often when things get messy. Sticky floors bother me. Derek in a bad mood upsets me, whiny kids stress me out. A dirty dog annoys me. Making unhealthy eating decisions makes me feel yucky. When all these things pile up (which they do almost daily) that is the PERFECT time to trust God, but instead, that's exactly when I tend to lose my cool, and then end up frustrated with myself.//Jesus, help me to use these messy, chaotic moments to grow, to remember that I CAN'T do it all on my own, which is exactly why I feel so frustrated when it all goes wrong. You desire for me to run to you and give it all to You.//one more thing, I've never been happier in my life. I adore staying home with my boys, but my goal is transforming "those moments" into something God can use. THE END 😃

"Here is a soul to train for God...I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all, to whom, while I minister in Christ's name, I make a willing sacrifice of what little leisure for my own recreation is left for me. Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to your mothers heart, welcome to her time, her strength, her health, her tenderest cares, her lifelong prayers! Oh, how rich I am, how truly, how wondrously blessed!" Elizabeth Payson Prentiss This quote grasped my heart this week. Also, google this lady if you get a chance. Pretty interesting story.

We can hear every train that comes through town at our house. Sometimes I cover Sam's ears because he thinks it's too loud. The other day both boys were playing outside when a train came by, and Berkeley decided to take care of his little brother. Love them both so much!!
