I decided not to go with the Mountain Dew cupboard pulls (I know, such a pity). Instead I’m thinking of these (I need all the shininess I can get so I’m going with chrome. Mission impossible, by the way. All cabinet hardware comes in nickel, these days. If that’s not what you want, too bad.) […]

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 […]
Whew! I survived the Christmas gauntlet! Yes, the actual holiday hasn’t happened yet, but all the crazy stuff is over; the only thing that’s left is run-of-the-mill present wrapping and grocery shopping. Because I’m an absolute idiot I decided to make the presents for my mother-in-law, sister and sister-in-law. I was supposed to do this […]
May and June will be bringing us our last two birthdays of the Season (“the Season” spans from December-June with a birthday every month). As bad luck and poor planning will have it, both children are due for a birthday party. Arabella (turning 11) hasn’t had one for three years and Jasper (turning six) has […]
I haven’t posted for a while. I’ve been in New York! Without kids! Do I even have to tell you how wonderful it was? Mister, who you may or may not have heard, was not terribly excited to go at first (I did write a spiteful blog post about it, but deleted it the next […]

I’m sort of weird about my feet. I have issues. I don’t like them touched. No pedicures, no massages. I polish them myself and keep them looking just fine, I think–even though my toes are short and stubby and rather like baby carrots. (Last year, though, a nice looking older man came running after […]
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 […]

The one thing that I want you to learn about make-up is to be open to change. We all knew those women when we were growing up who looked like relics of the sixties and seventies because they were afraid to try something new and go for a more modern look. We don’t want to […]
We have lived in Austin for not quite three years. We all adore it (well, I don’t know if the kids do but who cares what they think) and never want to leave. One of our favorite things about Texas is just . . . that it’s Texas. You can’t believe how much people […]
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 […]
