It's the best time to the year to hang out at the farm: BABY ANIMAL SEASON. I'm glad that even though the internship is over and we don't live there anymore, we can still snuggle all the babies because Daniel works there. The baby goats will always be my favorite. The kids love getting a chance to bottle feed the little snuggle muffins. Did someone say BABY BUNNIES? Meet Taco, … [Read more...]

Welcome to This Week’s Miscellany, the occasional round up of Carrots family updates, photo dumps, books I’m reading, links I loved, and events where you can find me. Number one thing I'm into lately: giant, messy buns. But first, let's talk about this no Lent until March situation. My friend Cari brought this up on social media the other day and I was like YES, GIRL. PREACH: February is … [Read more...]

Welcome to This Week's Miscellany, the occasional round up of Carrots family updates, photo dumps, books I'm reading, links I loved, and events where you can find me. Well, we're back to the daily grind on our little urban homestead after a trip to Florida to visit family for Christmas. It was wonderful to be with our families and friends in Tallahassee.

This Week’s Miscellany: Vol. 163 (Long Overdue! Thanksgiving, Advent, You Name It)
Daniel and I ready to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Y'all. Since the last time I posted a TWM (which was WEEKS ago! Sorry!) I have been to the movies three times. Yes, you read that right. In six weeks I've seen THREE movies. This is positively unheard of in my life since we became parents. I don't really understand why the stars aligned this way but it was fun. Anybody interested … [Read more...]
This Week’s Miscellany: Vol. 162 (DC Edition!)
I don't always remember October being such a whirlwind! But it's been quite. a. month. I don't even know where to start. So, here's my attempt at a recap.... We got a dog! We adopted a two-year-old Goldendoodle named Olaf. He is THE SWEETEST love muffin. I'll tell you the whole story sometime, but suffice it to say we are head over heels for our little snuggle bug. He is in danger of being … [Read more...]
This Week’s Miscellany: Vol. 160 (Road Trip Edition!)
Every summer since I was born (save the summer I was pregnant with Benjamin) I've gone to my mom's family reunion in the North Carolina mountains. It's been even more special now that I get to bring my kids to the same mountain to explore, spend time with family, and enjoy the cool weather. Now that we're so far away in Texas, the special time with their grandparents is even more … [Read more...]
This Week’s Miscellany: Vol. 159 (Moving Edition!)
Happy weekend, sweet friends! I know I've been MIA for the past couple of weeks but when I tell you why you'll forgive me. So we'd planned to be moved out of our apartment at the farm this coming Monday, but after Daniel interviewed for a few positions that would require him to start work this Monday we realized that we'd have to rearrange our plans for visiting family in Florida. So basically, … [Read more...]
This Week’s Miscellany: Vol. 158
This girl, y'all. If I had the energy she has in her little finger, my house would be so sparkling clean. It's been awhile since I shared a little Carrots fam update on the blog, so here. we. go. I figured we might as well get some homeschool in because it's too dang hot to play outside when you're not in the pool. So I've been reading aloud from a Greek mythology book and The Jungle … [Read more...]
This Week’s Miscellany: Vol. 157 (Gwen’s Birthday!)
A TWM on a THURSDAY, you ask? I know. What are things coming to! But I didn't do one last Friday because we were all sick AND prepping for the 10th anniversary party of my dreams and Gwen's 3rd birthday. So, mea culpa. I was overwhelmed, emotional, and down and out with a cold (it was a super fun week to be around me!). So here we are. Almost a week late. Ta da! After a week of being stuck … [Read more...]
