It’s Michaelmas, friends! Which means it’s technically the 5th blogiversary (I know….ridiculous word) of Carrots.
And I have a big favor to ask. Would you, pretty please, fill out this quick survey to help me learn more about what my readers love (and don’t love!)? I will be eternally grateful. You may have to click over to the actual site if you’re using a reader like feedly or bloglovin’. I really want this space to be the best it can be for my readers and this will really help me do that!
SURVEY CLOSED. Thanks, everybody! <3
AND as a thank you, I made this Spotify playlist of fun start-your-Monday kinda songs. Because I love ya. Some newer tunes and some old stuff.
Thank you for making this space such a delight over the past five years! I am constantly blown away by how kind, interesting, thoughtful, and inspiring my readers are. Thank you for your encouragement, support, and friendship. You make blogging an absolute dream come true!
We’ve got a fun feast planned to celebrate Michaelmas tonight! Roasted chicken (recipe is in our book!), creamed kale, whiskey-glazed carrots, and homemade blackberry ice cream. Yum.
p.s. If you filled out the survey, please leave a comment and I’ll choose a random winner to get a free copy of our book, Feast! Because I REALLY appreciate it!

Congratulations on FIVE years, Carrots/Haley/Stewarts!!
Thank you for being one of my most favorite corners of the internet. Your blog is inspiring, educational, heart-warming and seeped in the reality of day-to-day struggles/silliness/humor, which are a helpful reminder to me not to be discouraged. Thank you for being an awesome friend (we’ll make it real life friends eventually).
A very happy Michaelmas to the Stewarts! Feel free to send some of your feast this way. 🙂

Took the survey AND made a blackberry crisp for dessert tonight, inspired by your book. Thanks for all the great information on how to celebrate Michaelmas. My son and I studied the archangels today during homeschooling, and it was better than watching Star Wars. Those dudes are INTENSE! Wouldn’t have known anything about it if not for your blog. Way to evangelize the cradle Catholics, lady. (:

Christ’s Blessings upon you today.
