Contrary to popular belief, I don’t actually only listen to Mariah Carey and Wilson Phillips. I listen to Debbie Gibson, too. Woo hooooo! I’ve been so freaking jazzed (see what I did there?) to start this new series. Because, before I was Will and Nat’s prop, before Bev Cooks was even a sparkle in my […]

Friday Flotsam
FRIDAY! FRIDAY? FRIDAY: FRIDAY; #FRIDAY. <FRIDAY> FRIDAY. Greetings from Arkansasandia! Doesn’t quite have the same ring, does it? We’re doing a little summer family-visiting vacay, hence the non-stop bathing suit photos on Insta. Speaking of, have you noticed people are just calling it Insta these days? It started off as Instagram, obviously. Then morphed to […]
I LOVE PORTLAND OMG.
So glad we had that talk. Portland. Oh my gosh, Portland. That city won my heart. Won my eyes, ears, mouth and nose, too. #toddlermom I’m going to try to plow through these photos because I want to avoid you gnawing through your own jugular. Wait, can you even do that? I can’t get over […]
Bev Cooks New Site Design!
It’s heeeeere! I have a new WEBSITE DESIGN, omg. F f f finally. And also, welcome to the most Inception-y post you may ever see. Photos of my new site, on my new site. The new logo, right under the new logo. The new menu bar, right under the new menu bar. Part of an […]
Our Trip to the Shack Up Inn
As in, shacks. As in, old sharecropper shacks turned into rad as hail places to kick it in for a weekend. And that is juuust what we did. The weekend before Thanksgiving we met a big group of friends at this unassuming nook in Clarksdale, Mississipsisipsispsispsii. This place is beyond cool. Two quaint campground-style neighborhoods […]
Snoopits: The Holiday Edition
SANDY CLAWS IS COMINNNNG TO TOOOOOWN. It’s been an entire year since I’ve screamed Christmas songs at you. You’ve ached daily for it, haven’t you? Welcome to the last edition of Snoopits for the year! I need to think of things for you to snoop in 2015. My sock drawer? (just kidding) My collection of […]
That Time I Peed and Passed Out At the Dentist
Oh don’t act so surprised. Let me set the scene for you real quick. As if imagining me on the floor, lights out with urine soaking through my designer denim wasn’t enough. It was the summer of 2004. I had just moved to Kansas City a few months before, so as I began to settle […]
Snoopits: The Walls Edition
Ahhhh, welcome to the second edition of Snoopits! The series that allows me to pretend I’m cool enough for you to want to snoop around my crib. All the while realizing there will never be a world or lifetime in which I am cool enough to say the word crib. So what we have here […]
Prosciutto-Wrapped Barbeque Jalapeno Poppers. And a Farm Party.
I almost titled this post “Been Farming Long?” because I figured I’m long overdue for a good face punching. But plastic surgeons are crazy expensive these days, and I need to wash my hair later, so . . . We went to a farm party! At this dude’s house. Instead of asking if he needed […]
Our Trip to the “Other” Apple Store
You know what they say, autumn doesn’t exist unless you visit an apple orchard. And not only that, it’s highly possibly you’ll come down with a horrible case of guinea pig face if you forget it all together. It’s true! And I don’t mess with myths and legends that I make up. So you better […]
