Simplicity. "One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple."-Jack Kerouac The Lens-Artists photo challenge this week is hosted by Patti and she has chosen the theme of simplicity.

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 [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 51. I'm pulling this quote from within my archives, shared before I began my Tuesday Truth series. Isn't it so true? The sweet, simple things of life truly are the real ones. I hope that you all have a marvelous day and a week that uplifts your soul. If you're one of [...]
Tuesday Truth. Number 43. Sometimes I wish that life had a user manual. But, of course, it doesn't. And really, where would be the fun in that.

And since I need different titles... Episode 002. Secretly I'm hoping that Episode 007 will have something really exciting to [...]
Friday! Edition 25. Sometimes I have to ask myself what happened to the week. Teeth. Well, this one was filled with dental cleanings for me and the teens. I was at the dentist office 3 days in a row! Yesterday Miss Sunshine had her final orthodontic evaluation. Baby teeth are gone and molds were [...]
Friday. Edition 24. Hey, ya'll! It's Friday! I hope you've had an amazing week so far. This has been my last semi-mellow week before gearing back up for the return to school of my teenagers. The next three weeks will slowly become filled with dental cleanings, orthodontist trips, doctor check-ups, sports physicals, haircuts, clothes [...]
Friday. Edition 23. This week has been a strange week for me. But here we are on Friday! And I definitely have some faves to share today! Big Mr was invited to go to Myrtle Beach with a friend (luuuckyyyy) and left on Saturday. He'll finally return home sometime tomorrow. Mr. D is helping his [...]
Chill. Relax. Chillax.Where, or when, or how, or with whom, do you find this place? That's what Nikki over at Flying Through Water has asked us to ponder this week.
