These products have all found their way into my garbage can this week. My vote for the most horrid mascara of all time (in case you can’t tell, it’s by Revlon). Not only is is clumpy and globby, but imagine applying your mascara with a twig. Or with a mascara brush that your dog has […]

There is a lady here in Austin who is running for County Commissioner. She is not in my precinct, darn it, because I would completely vote for her based on her name alone: Instead I will be voting for Gerald Daugherty because he looks like a leprechaun. Is there really any better qualification? And here’s […]
Hmm, no you might actually curse me. But tell you, I must. Costco now carries the most delicious candy ever: chocolate caramel macadamia clusters. I love chocolate. I love caramel. I love macadamia nuts (well, all nuts really. Except walnuts which make my tongue swell.) I was foreordained to love these. Mister bought me […]
I’m sorry I didn’t post this earlier, but this is today’s Groupon for Austin (don’t tell me you aren’t slightly interested!) Did you notice the name of the place offering this class? The Brass Ovaries. For reals. You’ve only got a few more hours until this one expires, ladies.
I have decided that this week shall be Hobby Week here at Beehive and Birdsnest. I like to collect hobbies which isn’t surprising considering I was born to two people who always had some “thing” that they were into. My dad leaned toward things that go. He was on the pit crew for a few […]
Time to dredge up the old wedding photo again. It’s my anniversary. Number 17 this year. Let me just state a few things about this picture: 1. I was 21. I may have looked 16, but I really was a grown up (legally. Emotionally I certainly was not. But nothing gives you a big, […]
It was Mister’s birthday last week. The poor guy is just dying because he is in his forties. I know! It’s super old (just kidding. I’m only a year and a half from the big four-oh myself). I wanted to make his birthday really special so I gave him the best present I could think of […]
To those of you who have been wanting to know how to make the white sandwich bread that I showed a couple of days ago; I have some good news and some bad news. First the good news: you can make this in a bread machine (well, the dough part, at least). Yay! I love […]
Today’s my birthday. I’m not a huge fan of spending my birthday at home because then I just end up cooking and cleaning and doing all the normal mom things I do every single day. I like to spend my birthday being spoiled and doing nothing more difficult than decided what to order at a […]

A couple of weeks ago one of my readers,Tiffny, pointed out that my blog has been really gross lately; weevils, lice, rats . . . Yep, I’m most definitely guilty. It’s a strange thing when you blog; there is the group of bloggers who feel like they should present a really lovely, wonderful life because […]
Oh, how I love walking tours. So that’s the first thing I had scheduled after our arrival in Paris. Our tour was through Paris by Martin. The guide we had was Martin’s partner whose name was Pepé. He was delightful. By the way, tons of men in Paris wear scarves. As far as women’s fashions go, […]
There are a lot of kids around the country starting school soon. Mine are, including Jasper–the last of my six babies–who is heading off to Kindergarten. It really signifies the end of an era. The end of me being the mother of very little children. This is what it boils down to: I have had […]
