Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrack! I mean back! Flotsam’s back. I took last Friday off for the Girl Scouts campout. You didn’t notice? Oh. Never mind. Last week we had lice. LICE. Lice!! And I’m not 100% we’re lice free. I don’t think I ever will be. My friend Mindy went over my head hair.by.hair two nights ago, so […]

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrewwwwwwwwderdeeeeeee! Hold on I’m listening to the new Snow on the Beach featuring more Lana Del Rey. One sec, one sec. . . . Okay that is GOOD. That is actually really really good. I loved the first version but the world was totally right – it needed more Lana. I’m not even a massive […]

flower pots / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrah! dah! duh! doh! The other evening I spent an embarrassing amount of time adding photos to all of my contacts in my phone. Have you done that? I feel like I used to have a bunch of photos in my contacts, but I really didn’t. So I went through my camera library and screen […]

peonies / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr………. . . . . .. … ? This isn’t going to be a heavy post, I promise, but I cannot, simply cannot go today without mentioning Heather Armstrong and the gutted blogging community this week. What a tragedy. I remembering discovering Heather (and Ree at the same time!) waaaaay back around 2008 or 2009 […]

morning kitchen / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriduuuuuh! Can you gleek? Do you remember gleeking in the ’80s? I mean, it’s still here in 2023. It’s not like gleeking has disappeared. But at this age it’s no longer a SPORT. For me it’s purely accidental, and normally lands on pages of my book mid yawn. Natalie can gleek ON PURPOSE. What sort […]

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruhduhluhmuhyuh! (I’m fine, why do you ask?) I think we might be getting a Ferris Wheel. Not at my house, ya boob. But our CITY. I think Kansas City might be getting a Ferris Wheel. And maybe I don’t even need to capitalize Ferris Wheel, but I’m going to anyway. A Ferris Wheel! Isn’t that […]

plants / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrriddddeeeeee. Tea. TEA. Tea! I had no idea it meant anything besides a cozy hot drink. Do you want to know that I was this year’s old when I found out tea means gossip? And no, believe it or not, the lyrics in Anti-Hero didn’t tip me off. I just thought Taylor literally meant tea […]

taco fest / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! . ! . eedoo. !! …! I’m on the hunt for white pleated shorts. Which might possibly be the nerdiest way to begin a blog post, but this is where I am in life. I have some on the way from Amazon. Which means one of two things: secret loophole of fashion gold, […]

pretty patio / bev cooks

Freeeeeeeeeee! der. Flawt. sum. No one talks about suppositories anymore. Remember suppositories? When was the last time you heard someone mention a suppository? It’s been a minute. I guess we should be thankful for that yet I still need stories. It hit me the other day in the car that no one ever talks about […]

sunset / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrurdurdurdaydaydeededoodoo. I don’t even know how to talk about this week. I don’t have words. To begin the week with a horrific tragedy that will haunt me every single day as I kiss the kids’ little foreheads as they walk to the side school door. I can’t talk about it. That’s not something I can […]
