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 […]

White Bean Salad on Toast

White Bean Salad on Toast / Bev Cooks

You know when people ask you what you could eat every day forever and ever? For me, it’s this. It is this white bean salad on toast. Right here. This. On one hand, it’s embarrassingly simple. And is precisely why it should be happening this shy of all the time. On another, there’s no real […]

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, […]

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 […]

My final post about Israel! And I think I narrowed down the photos to only 57 hundred billion photos this time. Ya. . . yay? First up, if you’ve not read Part One and Part Two, you should! It was such a surreal trip, with a group of fantastic women, some great blazers and a […]

Monthly Mixtape: Sweep it Off and Get it Planted

April! Time to open windows! Time to garden! Time for picnics! I can chill. Things are starting to blossom. The temperatures are spectacular. Patches of lime green are spreading through the yards. Daffodils are the boss right now, and tulips aren’t too far behind. It’s a magical transition. So let’s have a slight get-ya-going mixtape, […]

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 […]
