Five weeks ago I welcomed my fifth baby to my family. That still blows my mind–five kids!! It feels like a circus at my house. I want to say I love every second of it, but let’s be real. I have five kids and one of them is a newborn. It has been hard. I…

My Biggest Project for 2018
If you’re on my newsletter list, you might remember a wee little announcement I made a couple months ago. But to the rest of the world, I finally am coming clean about my biggest most secretive project for 2018…yep! I’m pregnant. 🙂 I’m almost 34 and I have to say, this pregnancy has made…
New Year’s Resolutions: My Word for 2018
2018 is here. I usually gear up in a big way for the new year, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, with new year’s resolutions up the wazoo. This year is the first year that I haven’t felt a need for new year’s resolutions. And I think it’s because throughout the past year or so I have…
20 Important Spring Cleaning Hacks
I actually really LOVE spring cleaning. There’s nothing better than the sun coming out, kids finally leaving the house after months of being trapped inside, and you opening the windows for some fresh air. And then getting to work! I love going through all the piles of stuff, decluttering, getting rid of things. I love…
How to Decorate as a Couple Without Fighting
When you’re married, you are merging two styles together. And that is not always a very easy transition. Lots of people (*cough* men *cough*) don’t care about decorating and see any money spent on home decor as a waste. Lots DO care but have strong opinions about what they want. And others don’t care but…
Living with White
I just moved…into a house we built that I am in love with. It’s basically a dream come true, living here. And I’m working on a full tour post but that requires a lot of cleaning that I haven’t done yet! That will come soon. But for now here is a little glimpse… I have…
Getting a Flu Shot
‘Tis the season of getting sick. I feel like I’ve been struggling with some sort of sniffles/sore throat for the last month! And especially when you have little kids around you, they bring home everything and just spread it around. And last week my daughter was throwing up so much she ended up having to…
My Small Business
As I begin writing my 1001st post, (and since Thanksgiving is soon) I wanted to take a moment to talk a little about my business and how grateful I am for the success I have had. I started Honeybear Lane in 2009 as an Etsy shop. I was getting back to my creative roots after…
How to Detail Your Car Yourself
I drive a minivan. I have three little kids. You might think that I have an exceptionally clean car. Or you might instantly realize that THAT combination equals a very messy car, most of the time. They don’t really eat that much in the car, but even one time of having a bag of fishy…
I am Brave and Beautiful
I am Brave and Beautiful – a beauty movement that is sweeping the globe. Colbie Caillat started it with her recent song and video called TRY. My blogging friend Megan of Brassy Apple wanted to push this movement along and invited women from all over to share what they looked like without make up and…

DIY Dirty Diet Coke
If you don’t know what Dirty Diet Coke is, here’s what it is: the most delicious form of Diet Coke you have ever tasted. There’s a couple of new stores/restaurants (I’m not sure what to call them since they serve nothing but treats) around my town that serve a dirty Diet Coke. They don’t cost…
