Tuesday Truth. Number 41. I thought this quote quite perfect given that my youngest has returned to school. It was very strange to be down to the last of my three for the first day of school. My life has been dictated by school schedules since 2005. If you count the part-time half days of [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 40. I am a person who requires a bit of quiet every day. Moments of solitude. It's in those spaces, sometimes long and sometimes short, that I'm able to question whether I'm living in alignment with my values, my goals, seeking the places where my soul is content. Recently, I did a [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 34. Short and sweet this week. Enjoy the small things! Many of my small things recently have been little conversations with my teens. Being fully present in those conversations. Cherishing the words they share with me. This time passes so quickly. And so I am quiet on here and quiet on Instagram. [...]
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. I thought that today, I'd share some reflections about the journey...of the blog...and of myself. I'll also share a few technical aspects of blogging that I've slowly [...]
What's Up Lately. Episode 006. Hey Everybody!! I hope that you all have been well. My life has been busy, but that's nothing new given the fact that my three teens keep me on my toes. Getting Outdoors. Now that the rain has finally moved out (for the most part), I've been making a [...]
Birthday Celebrations. That's right! It's my birthday! I'm singin' and dancin' that out ya'll! Thoughts on being 40. I had an amazing year of being 40. I grew by leaps and bounds. Pressing comfort zones both physically and mentally. It really felt like a coming into my own. Background. If you are new to my [...]
What's Up Lately? Episode 002. Since I'm mostly popping in with updates, it doesn't feel right to call them "Friday Faves" and also they may not always fall on a Friday. Today, however, it does. And since I need different titles... Episode 002. Secretly I'm hoping that Episode 007 will have something really exciting to [...]
What's Up Lately? Life. It's taken all the little snippets of time that I could steal away from daily life just to pop in here and share a photo for the past few weeks. I figured it was time to fill you in with "what's up lately." Missed those? You can find a Naples, Florida [...]
M.I.A. I've been missing around the blogosphere. (anxiety) There's been a lot that I want to share from my earlier travels and I've thought...maybe I can get to that tomorrow...and then I don't. So today is a check-in of sorts. I'll probably add some photos from my archives because I can't imagine one of my [...]
The Evolution of Me. We are always changing. Right? Just by the sheer nature of life surrounding us, it is almost impossible to be stagnant. I started this blog about 2 1/2 years ago. As a journey of discovery. A seeking of who I am outside of society's definition of me (mother, wife, daughter, sister, [...]
