My name is Amy Lyon Smith.
I am a Florida girl uprooted in 2013 to a Virginia town in the Blue Ridge Mountains.I have been a stay-at-home mom since the oldest was born (2000) and found my self in a place where my children (all on the verge of, or entering, adulthood) still needed me as an overseer (ok, and as a chauffeur), but they didn’t have all the all consuming needs they did when they were younger.
Bedlam and Daisies was started in 2016 as a journey to seek the beauty amongst the daily chaos of life. A place to chronicle the discovery of my passions as I found myself in this new phase of life.
I wasn’t sure who I was outside of the roles that I held.
As Wife. As Mother.
Since beginning the blog I have found passions for writing, photography, travel, yoga, and meditation… just to name a few.
Perhaps you are on a similar journey of discovery.
Or maybe you know your passions and see that we have some in common.
I hope that here at Bedlam & Daisies you can find a little beauty in the chaos.
I’m so glad that you’ve found my little space on the internet.
You are always welcome here.
