January is a weird month because it has both seemed to last forever and to have flown by. I'm not sure how that's possible. But I'm always glad when it's over because it's kind of a nothing month in general. No offense if you love January. I just always think it's filled with a lot of pressure to start the new year off great and I prefer February when everyone is just more like "well, I gave it Read More

Sophie and I didn't intend to sound like we've given up this week, but we do talk about the frustrating state of empty nest cooking as well as our ability to remember detailed song lyrics from the 80s while having absolutely no idea where the scissors are. Plus, I share about my weekend in College Station, and Sophie may or may not recite a classic Amy Grant song like it's a poem. We also Read More

Here we are in the middle of January and it just feels like the middle of January. And that's really all I have to say. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. universal thread ruched t-shirt dress I saw this dress in Target the other day and it's a great everyday dress for spring and summer. It comes in several color options and it's just $20. 2. a new day Read More

This week Sophie and I talk about how we're navigating the lull between college football and college basketball season, and we discuss P's newfound knowledge about face contouring and the Royal Family. Life comes at you fast. Sophie shares about the writing progress she made over the weekend (will wonders never cease), I have an update on my reading progress, and we also discuss some spring Read More

I realize that it's almost mid-January but I have still spent this past week in some sort of Christmas break type mindset because Caroline is still home. It's not bad. But next week the real world will hit and I'll do all the responsible adult things I've been putting off like making dentist appointments and such. I will say that as I looked around this week for Fashion Friday things, I Read More

On this episode Sophie and I talk about the college football National Championship, and one thing we for sure agree on is that Nick Saban is a delight and a joy as a commentator. We share some details from our respective weekends, and we spend a good bit of time breaking down Sophie's unwavering affection for Amy Grant (She has been in her feels about AG ever since she watched the Kennedy Center Read More

Happy New Year! Here we are in 2023. Congrats, you've made it. As for me, I'm still kind of living like I'm on Christmas vacation until Caroline goes back to school on January 16th. It's not a bad way to ease into the new year. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. mock turtleneck pullover If you need a great basic cream colored sweater, this one is really good. It's a Read More

We recorded later than usual this week because Sophie has been out of town, and we were moving through a series of New Year-adjacent recaps (the latest with the Shankles, State's bowl game, the playoff games, a few I See Yous) when I saw some breaking news about A&M's new offensive coordinator. To paraphrase Ross Gellar, it was a bit of a pivot because I needed to do some serious real-time Read More

I have spent this week between Christmas and New Year's with hardly a passing awareness of what day it is or what a vegetable looks like. And I have to say I don't hate it. But it's probably good that 2023 starts on Sunday and I'll need to rejoin the real world. Here are some cute things I found this week and, yes, some of them are kind of Valentine's Day adjacent so I'm essentially like Read More
