This is going to be quick because I am tired from all the Thanksgiving festivities. Plus there are so many good sales to take advantage of sooner rather than later so I'm actually posting this Thursday night instead of Friday. Three things of note: Anthropologie currently has 30% off with no code needed. So if you've had your eye on something there, it's the time to buy. Spanx also has 20% Read More

This week I explain why I went to College Station but opted to excuse myself from the actual football game, and I share some A&M / Reveille history. We talk through a few other football-related items before we move into Thanksgiving prep and plans, so be sure to look in the show notes for the recipes we mention. 'Tis the season, after all. We also discuss Christmas movies as well as the Read More

I know it is the biggest cliche in the world to talk about how fast this year has gone by, but this year has gone by so fast. And in case you haven't heard, next week is Thanksgiving. This means two things for me: My child will be home for a few days. I will cook and eat a lot of food. I hope you all have a great one. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. cozy mock-neck Read More

Guess what, everyone? IT'S BASKETBALL SEASON NOW. As you can imagine, that is a source of comfort and hope for Sophie and me after our teams had a not-great football weekend. We talk about all the not-great stuff, along with Side Eyes and I See Yous. And much to our delight, this week has given us the Yellowstone season 5 premier, so we break down the non-spoiler-y latest with the Duttons - as Read More

Yesterday I sat in my car and it was 86 degrees on my car thermometer and I wondered if I might ever feel cold again. I realize I'm a lifelong Texan and I should be used to it, but I do not like to sweat in November. So the fact that there is a real live cold front blowing through about noon today and the temperatures for the next week look appropriately seasonal makes me feel a little bit Read More

This episode is longer than usual because of our Gift Guide, but you can rest assured that Sophie and I break down all the important football developments before we get into anything else. After all, we want the podcast to be a safe place for me as I process my football grief and disillusionment. Just like last week, the Gift Guide links are in a Google doc (link below), and it's my turn for Read More

Remember back when A&M lost to South Carolina I think it was and I said things couldn't get worse. I lied. Because last weekend I went to the A&M vs. Ole Miss game and here's a quick list of things that went wrong: 1. The team had no run out song and it was instead just kind of an awkward silence as they took the field. 2. The officiating was atrocious at times. I never believe in Read More

Well, the Aggies didn't win, but just as I predicted, I still enjoyed the snacks and the company at this past weekend's Texas A&M / Ole Miss game. We talk about both of those things, as well as Caroline's game day overalls and the pre-game festivities. Then, in news unrelated to football, we discuss the quality time Sophie and her husband have had with Alex's roommate and why she may open a Read More

I can't really talk about football right now, but thanks for asking. All that being said, I'm already in College Station for the game against Ole Miss this weekend. I'd appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Here are some cute things I found this week in between reading message boards about what's going on with Aggie football. 1. mock turtleneck pullover sweater This is such a great Read More
