After our regular TWM updates, I have some big news so be sure to check out what I'm sharing at the end of the post!) Friends, there's still 12.5 weeks until my due date. That's right. This is my 6 months pregnant bump photo, not my … [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 big news.  Remember my last TWM? Yeah, me neither. Because I posted it in NOVEMBER. I had to look it up. "Ah yes, 20 lbs ago when I wasn't too sick and exhausted to write. I remember those days." I posted it at the beginning of this HG (hyperemesis … [Read more...]

It feels like November is always a whirlwind, but this year it's been crazier than usual with my book edits due back at Thanksgiving (eek!). Life has been so full, but full of good things. I can't believe I keep failing to post weekly TWMs. My last one was almost a month ago! #worstblogger We had a great Hallowtide. We continued our tradition of trick or treating with my best friend from … [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 big news.  Fall weather for Texas (highs in the 70s and 80s) is here! We've been loving it and it arrived just in time for the farm-to-table meal that Daniel put on for 100 people. It was beautiful. And the food was fantastic. After the … [Read more...]

We still do some … [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 big news.  "You're a big four-year-old girl now, Gwen. But you're still the cutest person in our family," said the sweetest big sister in existence. That's right! Our Gwen Stellamaris may still be Thumbelina-sized but my baby is FOUR! How did that … [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 big news.  It's beginning to feel a lot like summer. The 90 degree weather has hit (which I actually don't mind at all--it's only the 100+ temps that get to me). And while I know we're about to be boiling for the next 4 months, it's been so beautiful since … [Read more...]

I feel like I've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off since the beginning of Lent. The late winter/early spring upper respiratory viruses were something else this year.
