My Trip To Israel: Part One

My Trip to Israel: Part One / Bev Cooks

I went to Israel! Which is probably obvious based on the title of the blog post and just how often I blabbed about it over the last thirty days. I told myself, “Keep it to twenty photos, Bev!” I’m hilarious. Let’s take a look at the first two days of the trip! This whole adventure […]

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrruluuuudeeedaaaaadiddledeedooooo! WHEW. Guilty. I mean we knew it. We knew it was coming. But it was SO SATISFYING to watch the woman say the words out loud, and live. Guilty. Guilty.

I don’t know how brothy beans aren’t considered life’s greatest hack, but I’m here to proclaim it here and now. First of all, they go with anything. ANYTHING. Chicken, sausages, steaks. I served mine with bacon and pineapple chicken sausages and there was not a dry eye in the house. Secondly, they take a handful […]

flowers / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrridledeedeeeeee. So, okay. (<–name that movie.) I’m heading out in a little over a week on an ENORMOUS work trip. I’ve talked about this a bit in Stories (obnoxiously teased is more like it), and I’m ready to tell you where I’m going! (only because the flights are booked and it’s officially official.) I’m meeting […]
