Five Years of Blogging. First off. Happy New Year!! Sometimes it seems so wild to me that I've been here sharing parts of my life for so long. Today, Bedlam and Daisies turn five years old! 5 years! In the scheme of a lifetime a part of me thinks that five years sounds short, but [...]
Four Years of Blogging. Today Bedlam & Daisies turns four! When I started this blog at the beginning of 2016, I had no idea that I'd still be blogging four years later. I mean, I thought I might, but I really had no plans around it. The blog was a place for me to try [...]
Three years ago, I wrote a love letter to my daughter. A love letter to my youngest child. Miss Sunshine. My only girl, who was just entering into the teenage years. Interestingly, the love letter that sat in the recesses of this blog, and had been seen by around 100 pairs of eyes before 2019, [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 46. Happy Tuesday!! And Happy First Day of October! I'm back from my travels, refreshed, renewed and ready to continue tackling the journey. I am just beginning to look to see what October holds. I'm hoping to carve out more time for writing! I see that I have lots of soccer chauffeuring [...]
It happened again! You may be asking what happened again. Well, I blinked my eyes and another one of my children crossed the threshold into adulthood. Yep! On August 17th, son #2 (Mr D) turned 18. I wrote about this second blessing of mine when he turned 15 (you can read that post here). I [...]
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 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 [...]
