This post is sponsored by the Sacred Art Series from Bloomfield Books. All opinions are my own. I love to fill our home with sacred art. It's important to Daniel and I to create an environment of beauty for our kids. And we want there to be images in our home that help them learn about our Christian faith. We have tons of great and beautiful picture books about the saints but when it … [Read more...]
This Week’s Miscellany: Vol. 128
Welcome to This Week’s Miscellany, the weekly feature at Carrots where I share photos, quotes, links, or whatever strikes my fancy! It seems weird to start this off with anything other than grief and prayers for Charleston and the victims of the racist hate crime that took so many lives. And following that, any little news our family has seems silly and trite but it's all I have to share … [Read more...]
20 States + 6 Weeks + 3 Kids + One Van = Our Next Crazy Idea
Give a warm welcome to my husband Daniel, known on the internets as Daniel Bearman. I don't even know why anymore. But folks call him that. He's spilling the beans on what we're up to after we move out of our house in Florida but before we arrive in TX.

Friday Fashion Frivolity: Denim, Out of Africa, and Cats in Space
Every so often, we chat fashion at Carrots. I hope it feels like going shopping with a friend, but not having to try on jeans….or leave your couch. So here's the drill. I share a new box of Stitch Fix items, tell ya my thoughts, get my husband Daniel's take, and tell you what I kept and what I sent back. (I’m not gonna go into the details of the personal styling service Stitch Fix here, but … [Read more...]
Welcome to Crazy Town
I know it's been quiet over here the past few days, y'all. Sorry! We are two weeks away from our move out date. (If you hadn't heard, we're moving cross country to a farm.) And the stress, y'all....the stress has hit. It's been crazy. There are now piles and boxes all over the house as packing has begun. Daniel is orchestrating all the changes in health insurance, the giant pod to move all … [Read more...]
8 Ways to Help a Mom Struggling with Severe Morning Sickness

Since I've had HG for two out of three pregnancies, I say YES to all of Rachel's advice! - Haley I've gone through two pregnancies now that had pretty severe morning sickness, the first being the worst.

Don Draper’s First Confession
**Spoilers ahead, folks. If you don't want any of the plot of Mad Men ruined for you, don't continue.** “The young man ringing the bell at a brothel is unconsciously looking for God.”-Bruce Marshall source: Justina Mintz/AMC Before I started watching Mad Men, I thought it was a show about an attractive guy name Don Draper with supporting characters Sex, Cocktails, and Cigarettes.

This Week’s Miscellany: Vol. 127
Welcome to This Week’s Miscellany, the weekly feature at Carrots where I share photos, quotes, links, or whatever strikes my fancy! It's this little gal's birthday tomorrow. How has it been two years since she was born? As my brother pointed out, she was born not just with hair...but with a hair do. I think it was Great Gatesby era inspired. She is still the absolute silliest … [Read more...]
Five Favorites: Household Supplies (and a Gift for You!)
I'm linking up with Rachel today for #5Faves on this fine Wednesday.

Last fall as we were getting the house ready to put on the market, I was trying to figure out how to make my life easier and part of that meant not having to … [Read more...]
Our Lady in Art by Heather Sleightholm
I asked one of my favorite artists, Heather Sleightholm of Audrey Eclectic, to share about Marian tradition in Christian art during this month of May, month of Our Lady. I think you'll love her beautiful post.--Haley During my first semester in college, I had the crazed idea to take an art history class at 8:30 in the morning. I would stumble out of my dorm room, sometimes still wearing the … [Read more...]
