Snack Central – Hive and Nest

Y’all know how much I love snacks, right? A lot. A super lot. I would much rather eat snacks all day than have a meal. Even a really delicious meal. Are you like that too or is it just me? Far and away my favorite place to by snacks is at H•E•B. It’s my favorite […]

This will all be over soon – Hive and Nest

Class parties. Work parties. Church parties. Friend parties. Teacher gifts. Neighbor gifts. Homemade gifts (what was I thinking?) Kids’ gifts. Hostess gifts. Recitals. Concerts. Ballets. Christmas lights. Stocking stuffers. Post office. Post office again. Priority shipping. Overnight shipping. P.S. Don’t forget the seven dental appointments this week to use up all the insurance money before […]

A bunch of stuff – Hive and Nest

OK, here’s the story: I don’t have a lot of interesting things going on in my life right now; hence my blog is pretty dull. My life consists of me cleaning up after my kids and watching them eat snacks all day. That’s it. That’s my life in a nutshell. So I haven’t been blogging […]

Don’t forget to bring tissues! – Hive and Nest

I’ve attempted to see Bright Star twice now, but I finally managed to see it last night. Mister and I were a few minutes late for it last week, so we decided to go see something else instead. I’m glad we didn’t stay and miss the beginning because the opening sequence is gorgeous. I called […]

Promenade – Hive and Nest

Last weekend was India’s first prom. Strangely this has never been a moment I’ve thought much about as I’ve raised my daughters. Probably because I never had a boyfriend (or a date for that matter) in high school so the Prom was always a source of anxiety and frustration rather than excitement. But India is […]

The Giveaway Winner – Hive and Nest

I’ve been wondering why the winner of the giveaway still hasn’t contacted me and then I noticed that the post where I announce the winner has been sitting in my drafts folder this whole time. Good job, Jennie! Anyway, the winner of the apron, brownies and skin care stuff is: Jennifer from The Seven Alstons. […]

Don’t. Hate. Me. – Hive and Nest

All right you guys. I try very hard not to be picky about what other people do. Growing up I was notorious for correcting other people’s grammar. Yes, it’s both obnoxious and unkind, and really who cares? If you want to drop the -ly off of your adverbs, be my guest (unless you’re my child, […]

Maybe this time I’ll like it – Hive and Nest

So I’ve been rolling my eyes about Twitter for quite some time. I just didn’t get. I still kind of don’t get it, but after three people in one week asked me if I’m on twitter I figured I ought to get my head out of the sand and just do it. And it turns […]

The Magic Circle – Hive and Nest

I am not a believer in luck. I mean, lucky things happen. But I don’t believe in it as a “force” exactly. But I do believe in the Magic Circle. I have a Magic Circle. I was having lunch with some friends today and we started discussing what exactly the magic circle is. The Magic […]

I’m Alive! – Hive and Nest

I pretty much vanished for the last couple of weeks. Partly due to relatives in town (we know who loves us by how often they visit. Hint, hint, relatives.) Partly due to being the Relief Society President when half the ward decides to move at the exact moment the other half goes on vacation. I […]

The Confederate Car Trip – Hive and Nest

Since our car trip to Arizona in March was such a roaring success (meaning nobody killed anyone else and I only had to scream at the kids to shut up a dozen times), I decided that we shall take another car trip. Mister will hold down the fort while I travel with all six children […]
