Photography Challenge. Even though I'm only a few weeks into my January challenge of eating a vegan diet, it's already time to begin thinking about the challenge for February. In light of the fact that I shared in my recent three year blogiversary post that I wanted to begin capturing more photos, February's challenge will be a 28-day [...]
Three Years of Blogging. Today Bedlam and Daisies turns three. Can you believe it?! It is still hard to believe that this moment marks three years of blogging.

Why I Set Goals Instead of Resolutions. And what in the heck is the difference? As we approach the new year, many people start talking about setting their New Year's Resolutions.
