Fashion Friday: Edition it’s a three day weekend

Fashion

Happy Friday! I'm currently in a hotel room in Austin and it's actually Thursday afternoon, but I've been looking forward to Friday since Monday so I'm going to go ahead and wish us all a happy Friday. And this isn't any kind of transition at all, but I have been meaning to mention that I find myself posting a lot more often on Instagram these days because it's just easy. In many ways, Read More

This and that on a Tuesday

Another day

I haven't done one of these posts in forever, but I had a few things I wanted to share that I thought you may or may not be interested in. 1. A new dinner recipe I don't know why this has been such a challenge for me lately, but I think it's a combination of being tired of all my usual meals and trying to get back in the swing of real life after the holidays. On Sunday night, P asked me Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition as I sit in Starbucks between soccer games

Diary, Fashion

I woke up at the crack of dawn on Thursday morning because Caroline had to be at school at 5:50 a.m. to catch a bus for school soccer. For those of you unfamiliar (myself included) this means it was still dark outside. Even Piper and Mabel were looking at us like "Why are we up in the middle of the night?" P dropped her off and then I poured an extra strength cup of coffee before I finally Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition Welcome to 2019

Diary, Fashion

Well. Here we are in 2019. It's not quite the way I thought it would look based on watching The Jetsons when I was younger, but I can get groceries delivered right to my door so there's that. I hope you've all had a good first three days of 2019. Ours has involved a lot of Netflix, a 1000 piece puzzle and sweatpants. I'll miss you, Christmas vacation, you've been good to us. Here are Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition this doubles as a Christmas recap

Another day, Diary, Fashion

Well. I hope you all had a delightful Christmas and that Santa brought you some things you wanted and/or you got gift cards to go buy those things for yourself. We had a good one at our house and I decided I should probably go ahead and recap it for posterity's sake before it's 2019. Also, if I don't document it, I may forget everything as soon as I come down from the carb/sugar/wine/cheese Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition the last one before Christmas

Diary, Fashion

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are essentially just about out of shopping days left until Christmas. So if you still have gifts left to buy, I would suggest that you throw yourself on either the mercy of Amazon Prime or prepare yourself to face the hell that is your local mall. Also, I was in Walgreens earlier this week and they had a nice selection of "As Seen On TV" items that Read More

Big Boo Cast: Episode 127

Podcast

This is the second part of the episode we put up last week. We talk a lot about skincare products so hold on for that ride. We also discuss my trip to New England and Sophie's enthusiastic endorsement of going to see Ben Rector in concert if you get the chance. You can click here to listen. Or here. You can even listen right here on the blog. And if you're on the Facebook, well, we Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition you might want to finish your Christmas shopping

Fashion

It's true. We are now just about ten days out from Christmas morning which is so hard to believe. So if you want to order things online (I did every bit of my shopping online this year and it was LIFE CHANGING) then you better get on that. And in case you need some ideas for yourself or someone you love, here are some cute things I found this week: 1. simone color blocked kimono I Read More

And now it’s almost Christmas

Another day

Well, it's almost been a month since I wrote anything here besides Fashion Friday or a podcast post and all I can say is it has been a busy one. And now we are just a little over a week away from Christmas break and I hope it involves a lot of catching up on sleep and watching movies on Netflix. We spent most of our Thanksgiving break in Orlando for a soccer tournament. Before we left on Read More
