Well we're not even halfway through June and I'm already over the summer heat. And it's actually not so much the heat as it is that it feels like I'm being suffocated in a warm, wet blanket covered in mosquitoes every time I walk outside. No thank you. The good news is you can shop online in the air-conditioning. Here are some cute things I found this week. 1. Zelma royal blue midi Read More

This week I share all about our trip to A&M for Caroline's New Student Conference (to use baseball terminology, it was a real home run). We also talk about TV (Sophie finished watching Breaking Bad and HAS SOME THOUGHTS), and we dig into our current summer reading situations. Plus, we discuss our current state of contentment with our beauty products (I KNOW), and it's my turn for Five Read More

So Caroline and I just spent the last few days at Texas A&M for her new student conference. This is basically an orientation for new students and included all manner of information, including meeting with her academic advisors and choosing her classes for the fall.

It's a big week for The Big Boo Cast: Caroline's high school graduation and the SEC Baseball Tournament. Not that those two things are of equal importance, of course (I mean, graduation = milestone). But Sophie and I talk about graduation and the tournament and TV and so much more on this week's episode. We also discuss an exciting new find in the way of summer shorts, and I share my Five Read More

You know what's more tiring than May? May with a high school senior who is about to graduate. You know what's more tiring than that? Navigating all of it after coming out of a pandemic and being socially awkward after a year of no real social events. All that to say, I'm so tired. But here are some cute things I found this week. 1. custom Judith march patch hats I don't Read More

This week we talk about the different ways we're aware that MAY, IT IS UPON US - graduation and office clean-out for Sophie, Caroline's soccer all-star game and pre-graduation festivities for me. I also share an exciting new charcuterie idea (GENIUS), and Sophie talks about some shorts that are suddenly everywhere and clearly taking summer by storm. We also discuss what we're watching (of Read More
