Que Up for London

Que Up for London

An in depth look at my first trip to London.

“Have kids,” they said.
.
“It’ll be fun,” they said.
.
Justin and I routinely use these lines as comic relief when having kids is less than “fun.” 😬 What an absolute joy it is to use these lines when having kids is FUN!
.
We recently took the kids on a FUN trip to Southern California. There were theme parks, beaches, piers, iconic places, and even the zoo. We went from LA to Anaheim and ended up in San Diego. One darling discovered a love for roller coasters 🎢 (thank heavens), one cemented disdain for them 🙄, and one drew a hard line on which ones were rideable and which were not 🧐. You win some and you lose some. 😂
.
We’ve already lost our nomination for 2025 “parents of the year” by tricking them all onto Guardians of the Galaxy 🛗 (a parent personal favorite). 😬😂 I’d do it all over again for the looks on their faces. 😳
.
Where are you taking the kids this year?!

What do confetti, chow, and California have in common?
.
cabi Fashion Week 🎀
.
I’ve spent the last three days in San Diego deep in training and fashion. I love that cabi allows me to offer you beautiful clothing that fits your lifestyle. If you’re looking for a different way to shop, don’t find joy in the pieces in your closet, or love getting together with your girlfriends, I’m booking gatherings now.
.
Let’s get together 👯‍♀️

Work. Hard work.
.
Better get used to it.
.
Nothing worth having in life comes without hard work because if you haven’t had to work for it, you just don’t appreciate what you have. These kids will know what it means to work for what they have/want.
.
As a side note, how about that sky?! 😍 God was really showing out with that.

Work on things that no one can take away from you.
.
It’s possible.
.
The dreams you have for yourself are completely possible. You have the ability to love yourself, to dress yourself with confidence, to disregard other people’s irrelevant opinions. Imagine looking at your reflection and loving what you see. Imagine putting aside your thoughts of what others think (or even what you KNOW they think) and not feeling weighed down by them. Sit in the joy and freedom that would come with that moment. Close your eyes and really FEEL what it would be like.
.
What are you willing do to do get there? Here’s the thing, my friend, you have to work on things that no one else can take away from you to get there. Work on the hard things like your mindset, character, personality, relationship with Christ, and your general well being.
.
Those dreams? They’re yours for the taking.

16 years since we said, “I do.” 💍
.
I love you, baby.
.
If you could see behind these “best moments” pictures, you’d see words I shouldn’t have said, actions I wish I could take back, and a million I wish I should haves. Love is a verb - a choice - and I choose you.
.
Thank you for choosing me. 😘 Happy Anniversary. 🩷

Daisy 🌼 would like a word with you.
.
Are you listening?
.
She wants you to know that pigs are arguably the “smartest” of livestock as they exhibit the ability to apply deductive reasoning skills. This is why as house pets potbellied pigs can become destructive and hard to handle. They use those little piggy 🐷 brains to open cabinets, root up carpet, and more.
.
Pigs make upwards of 20 different vocalizations from low grunts to high pitched squeals; they have no problem to make their feelings known.
.
Have you had a conversation with a pig 🐽?

Why didn’t you tell me?
.
The easiest way to make hard boiled eggs 🥚 isn’t to boil them.
.
Steam them instead.
.
I recently saw this hack on social and knew I had to try it. I am often asked to make the stuffed eggs but have always struggled during the peeling process. Even when I used store bought eggs years ago it was hit or miss as to whether they would look pretty after peeling. I’ve now used the steaming method twice and color me impressed because the eggs 🥚 practically peel themselves! It’s a must use life hack 👏🏼
.
Add steamer basket to pot. Add water to fill the space between the basket bottom and pot. Bring to a boil. Cover. Steam for 13 minutes. Allow to cool enough to handle before peeling.
.
Who’s been gate keeping this information instead to telling me?!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Sample Sale time 🤣🛍️

At the end of each fashion season, it’s time to move out the old to have room to bring in the new. That means discounts for you 😉 Find cabi (and Finding Foxtale) up to 75% off in my sample sale.

You’ll need to DM me for the link.

Best friend. Reporting for duty.

This girl is the best. She also drives me insane 🤣 Dobermans have big, intense personalities and tend to want things their way. Regardless of what you want. Her job is to guard and protect, and she takes it very seriously. She causes people to pause just at the sight of her. 😳 I like it that way 😉
.
The real point of this is to tell you about a product we use every day at our house - @spotonfence . We don’t have a fence that will keep a dog in 💁🏻‍♀️, so I knew we would need a long term solution to keep any dogs from roaming (a personal pet peeve). After some research, SpotOn was chosen. We’ve been using this collar/fence for almost five years and like it so much we got an additional collar when we added a second dog. What I love about this fence system is that it allowed us to lay out a custom area as the “fence” so the arena and livestock areas are dog free zones. When the dogs go outside, they know they have to wear the extra collars and will wait at the door to have them put on. There is nothing to bury and quick to set up. We have had a few issues with the collars over the years but customer service is helpful and quick.

Shameless mom brag.
.
My kids are famous.
.
Not really, but earlier this year they were interviewed by Driving Digest as features for the Junior Whip article in the Nov/Dec issue. We received our copy early last month, and their 4 page spread is a fantastic read. I love that they each had their own “magazine moment.”
.
Watch for them in the show ring next year. 🐴

Christmas 🎄 Traditions.
.
They are engrained in my soul.
.
One of our favorite traditions is visiting our very own hometown of Canton, MS during the Festival of Lights 💡 at Christmas time. It’s simple, wholesome, Christmas fun. We’ve been doing it for years - 17, but who’s counting 😉. Over the years the festival has grown but it has yet to get old. Beautiful lights, carnival rides, food trucks, music, characters, story time - there’s something for everyone. Visit the shops on the square, pop into @thedailyscoopicecream or the seasonal @eatstreetdough for a snack, and even see the big man himself 🎅🏼. The very best thing? There’s no charge to wander through the square and see the lights 👏🏼 Be sure to check out @cantontourism for a full schedule of events.
.
Some Tips:
There is parking along the square but also check the parking lot behind the Bank Plus and in front of the Madison County Courthouse. There are some food trucks but if you are looking for a sit down spot, take a short walk to our favorite @picantes_canton.ms . If you have the time, go east to Avondale Road for a massive blow up display 😍
.
Take the short drive to Canton. It might just be your new family tradition.
.
Who else visits the Canton lights?

Give thanks from a heart filled with love.
.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 from us to you.
.
My family has legendary dressing.
.
Yours too?
.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. There is no pretense. No presents. No posture. It’s about being together and eating a great meal. Part of that meal for my family is the Smith family dressing. Hands down my favorite dish. It’s been perfected over the decades and no one’s plate is complete without it.
.
Guess who’s made her way up over the years from apprentice to head dressing maker? 😉
.
Share your favorite Thanksgiving dish in the comments!

I think what you need now more than ever is . . .
.
to hear that it’s okay to say “No” to events that don’t serve you well during this holiday season.
.
The number of events that take place between Thanksgiving 🦃 and Christmas 🎄 is exhausting. You don’t have to be at all of them 💁🏻‍♀️
.
If you need me, I’ll be over here prioritizing our family traditions as well as events and people that fill my cup.
.
🙋🏻‍♀️ if you use the word “No” during the holiday season.

One of my favorite sounds.
.
The ocean 🌊
.
This time last week we were settling in at the @ritzcarltonbacarasb for a weekend of celebration and worship; the Lifesong conference is one of the highlights of our year. This was our fifth conference to attend, and I really thought they couldn’t get any better. I was wrong. This year we heard from people you might have heard of like @christinecaine , @scotthamilton84 , and @shaneandshane . We also listened to countless stories from people you wouldn’t know - those impacted by this amazing organization. Stories of redemption and restoration. Stories of hurt and fear. Kleenex is required. I always learn so much about myself during this weekend.
.
We really didn’t understand what we were getting involved with when we joined hands with @lifesongfororphans . I don’t know that I completely understand everything now. What I do know is if you are looking for a place to get involved where lives are being changed, this is the place.
.
Need an introduction? I’m happy to facilitate.

Get on a horse. Stay there a while.

I have a hobby farm 💁🏻‍♀️ and today I’m going to tell you a game changer when we travel ✈️.
.
Cameras 🎥.
.
Leaving all these animals 🐴🐶🐱🐔🐷🐐 in someone else’s care isn’t easy and comes with anxiety 😬(reasonable and unreasonable 🤣).

SimpliSafe has made monitoring all the spaces so easy. Cameras may be wired in or wireless and can be toggled between motion activated or not with a touch of a button. The user friendly app keeps all the things in one place. Setting up the system doesn’t require a professional and adding pieces as needed couldn’t be easier. Highly recommend.
.
This post isnt sponsored. I just love this system and think you should know about it.
.
What’s something you’ve done that makes traveling easier?

Fall flowers 🌸
.
Tall ones. Short ones. Double ones. Single ones.
.
If you want fall blooms, plant Camellias. Encore Azaleas get an honorable mention.
.
What are your favorite fall blooms?

It’s an unlikely relationship
.
🐦‍⬛ 🐓
.
These three friends (and more) hang out at my place on the daily; crows are sometimes viewed as pests. I view them as natural protection from hawks. 😳
.
Hawks 🩷 Chickens
Crows 👎🏼 Hawks
.
The byproduct of the crows’ dislike of hawks? My chickens are left alone. We occasionally see a hawk hanging around but rarely do they stick around long. I’ll keep the crows. 🐦‍⬛
.
If you find my farm content interesting, I’d love for you to tap that airplane and share it with your friends.

Everybody’s got their little slice of heaven
.
Mines on the back of a horse 🐴.
.
I don’t get to ride very often. These kids have taken over (as planned) these ponies; they ride or work them pretty much daily (weather permitting), so I don’t get much saddle time. The kids were recently gone for several days so I took it upon myself to work their ponies for them. Such hardship 🤣. The ponies weren’t exactly thrilled about it, but I had a great time. And sore legs 🦵

I’ll take any excuse 💁🏻‍♀️
.
To get away ✈️
.
Started off strong in Philadelphia, PA and visited the Independence National Historical Park, US Mint, Reading Terminal, Museum of the American Revolution, Constitution Museum, and Elfreth’s Alley. It was my first time in Philly, and I left plenty undone for a return trip.
.
Then we hit the road 🚗 and saw beautiful New England in the fall 🍂.
.
Spent some time in Salem, MA 🧙🏼‍♀️- the weekend before Halloween 😳. But truly, a town packed with history and so much to see. We enjoyed the Peabody Essex Museum and other historical (and cinematic) sites around town.
.
Ended the trip in Boston 😍 for a Bruins 🐻 game. We managed to beat the Toronto 🍁 Leaves in over time 💪🏻.
.
Have you been to New England in the fall?

October in retrospect.
.
It’s been one to remember.
.
MS State fair. Fall Festival. Trick-or-treating. Boo breakfast. Wild flower picking. Cypress swamp. Cookie decorating. Salem, MA.
.
I have a true love for fall. There is just something about October that fills my soul with happiness. Inevitably it is one of the busiest months of the year, but the fantastic weather and long days make it hard to not make every moment matter. This year was no exception.
.
I want to know what your favorite fall activity is ⬇️

These kids.
.
They’re different.
.
I’m here for it.
.
Homeschool and farm life. 👏🏼 Different doesn’t mean better (or worse) just different. We have to make choices and decisions based on caring for other creatures; our lives revolve around feeding times. Regardless of the weather, state or mind, or how you feel, they’re 🐴 🐔 🐐 🐽 🐕 🐱 waiting.
.
We are embracing our kind of different. Follow to stick around.
