The Joy of Being a Grandparent

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 27 Comments/ 529

Everyone told us that being a grandparent is THE best thing in the world. I have to fully agree with the statement. Micah and Wendy graciously accepted us into their beautiful home for 10 days of fun and Theo time and we are so happy Continue reading →

6 Months Later

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Writing/ 9 Comments/ 844

Last week marked the six month period since my mom passed away. I suspect the 25th of each month will be a monthly reminder for the rest of my life. I have said it many times – grief is unpredictable. A friend shared this on Continue reading →

A Great Irony of Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Writing/ 5 Comments/ 652

I re-found this quote I had posted several years ago on my computer the other day and it made me smile just like it did the first time I discovered it. Why can’t I ever articulate my thoughts quite as effectively as Gordon B. Hinckley Continue reading →

More Than a Bag of Peanuts

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 13 Comments/ 470

One of the sweet memories I have of growing up includes the simple memory of a tiny bag of peanuts. Now my Daddy didn’t fly on airplanes all that often but on the rare occasion that he did he never forgot his 4 kids at Continue reading →

Memories Framed

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Life stories, Writing/ 12 Comments/ 522

I have shared many memories here on It’s Just Life over the years. One of the things that I have the great fortune of having possession of is a huge tote filled with pictures and documents from my parents. Actually it is two totes and Continue reading →

Bag of Bags

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 402

Who can relate to this picture? It’s a bit ridiculous. I have bags of bags. Multiple bags of bags. I have been trying to clean cupboards up bit by bit and this cupboard in my pantry was out of control. I have so many bags. Continue reading →

What Happens When You Let a Nine Year Old Have Your Phone

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 7 Comments/ 415

Last week I finally got a chance to go to Ohio to visit my sister and brother-in-law who bought a beautiful house with their daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter. Who would have thought it would take a year and a half for me to get there Continue reading →

Feeling Wordy

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 16 Comments/ 485

Did you read the title of that correctly?  I know you did!  Today’s post is all about words. All about language and some quirks that you may or may not know. I love words.  I love how I can learn new words every single day. Continue reading →

Sweet Memories

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 17 Comments/ 612

That picture at the top of the blog post is a picture that evokes sweet memories. If you can’t tell from that picture what it is I will give you another hint below. Who else remembers their mom or grandma making cinnamon sugar pie crust Continue reading →

Girlfriend Getaway – Abbeville, South Carolina

Beth Ann Chiles/ Photography, Travel, Writing/ 7 Comments/ 646

When you think of a girlfriend getaway what comes to mind? Probably not Abbeville, South Carolina. My friend Ann and I FINALLY got together after 15 months of not seeing each other and honestly the destination did not matter. Our last road trip was in Continue reading →

The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...
An Abundance of Katherines
5 of 5 stars
An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
