tulips / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrring freak! Sorry, I mean – spring break! I have the lit-e-ral best news ever on the planet to share. Just get ready. Sit down. Stand up. No wait, sit back down. Natalie came to me earlier this week and said, “Mom, I’ve decided it’s time to watch Gilmore Girls. Will you watch with me?” […]

little kitchen scene / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrieeeeediiiieeeeaaaaayyyyyyaaaahhhhhhh. I’m mildly embarrassed but also obsessed to announce that my family is currently in love with chocolate pudding. As in, boxed chocolate pudding. The little boxes, ya know? Not the little boxes on the hillside made of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same. Not those. But the kind of little boxes where […]

valentine's kitchen / bev cooks

Frrrrriiiiiiiiiiilanetine’s Fay! (<–sorry) Ya know what’s weird? I forget about figure skating for three and a half years and then the moment I watch again it I remember it’s my favorite thing in the world. In the entire world! Like, since I was a child! And then after the Olympics I forget again. Ha! Don’t […]

heart balloons / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrallydallydoop! Am I the only person who needs to know what time it is? At all times? Especially when I wake up in the night. Tell me this, are you capable of waking up, being aware that you’re awake, rolling over and closing your eyes again and not checking your phone or a clock for […]

snowy morning / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrreeeedeeerrrlleeeedeeeee! You know what I never understand? And tell me if you agree, or even notice this. In books, why does the main character, or any character for that matter, always turn their phone off in a moment of stress or crisis? Like they turn their phones OFF. And I just don’t feel like people […]

plants and mirrors / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I mean BRRRRRRRR. (<–sorry) Okay, when was the last time you thought about a rabbit’s foot?! Like, not attached to the rabbit, that is. A keychain rabbit’s foot. A LUCKY CHARM. I’ve not thought about those since 1999 when I had a side part. What a weird thing those are! Were? Are? OMG, ARE? […]

lovely sky / bev cooks

Fridaaaaay! Okay, you can’t comment on this freaking blog anymore, I’m hearing. You guys, I am so sorry. I know the irony of asking you to give advice on a platform that’s not letting you, but I need help! I was on the phone with Godaddy yesterday for an hour and they were useless. AND […]

pretty plant in a rainy window / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrreederleedeeeee! Well we’re nine days into January. The new year. How are you all feeling? Motivated? Overwhelmed? Fresh? Anxious? A little giddy? A little rundown? Same. I don’t do resolutions. Never ever have. It’s too much pressure and they make me cranky. And I’m already perimenopausal so we’re simply having none of it. Don’t get […]

moody lights / bev cooks

thanksgiving dinner / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrr! More like brrrrrrrrr! Am I right? Sorry. Awful. I’ll just dive into the heavy part of this post. We lost Charlie on Monday. Our beloved dog, who we’ve have for 18 entire years. We said goodbye to her Monday late afternoon at 4:22pm. She’d been sick-ish for a while. Nothing that we knew of […]
