Big Mama

This is the last weekend of September. I'm not sure how we got here so fast but I don't hate it. Especially because we just experience the first "cold" front of the season this week and it renewed my will to live. The thing about Texas summers is they last for about five months and by the time you get to the end of August, you aren't sure how you're going to keep functioning like a normal human Read More

This is going to be quick because I'm headed to Brenham with Sophie for our first live Big Boo Cast show of the year. And I still haven't packed. And I still haven't done about sixty-four other things I need to do to get ready for all the fun. But I did find some cute things this week: 1. one size fits all oversized sweater I love this oversized sweater. It's the perfect lightweight Read More

There was oh-so-much college football to talk about on this week's episode, so we hit the ground running re: the Aggies and the Razorbacks and the Cy-Hawk game. Oh, and re: the cat at the Miami game because that rescue operation was the play of the week. We also discuss our uncertainty about how to pose in some pictures we're having made (Sophie's traveling to Texas this Thursday), and I recap Read More

Yesterday we made a quick trip to College Station to see Caroline. It had been two weeks since I'd seen her and I decided that was long enough. But now it's late so this is going to be quick. Plus, I need the weather to cool off before I can get excited about sweaters. 1.uma bodysuit I don't always know I feel about bodysuits, but this one is so great with this tailored white top. It Read More

It's Labor Day weekend, it's September and, as I'm typing this there is college football on my television. It's officially my favorite time of the year. We can start at least thinking about sweaters and boots and days that don't feel like we live on the sun. 1. v-neck sweater vest Sweater vests are a big fall trend and I really love this one. It's a great length with higher waisted pants Read More

Listen. I have lived a thousand lives since this time last week. I packed Caroline up for college, we moved her in her dorm and then we left her there. Like she's a grown up or something. It's the most surreal feeling in the world. But she is so happy which makes it hard to be sad. And when I do feel sad, it always helps to shop. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1.

Basically we still have to finish packing all of Caroline's stuff and I'm totally procrastinating by posting this in the first place. We're leaving for College Station tomorrow and I have a checklist a mile long because it keeps my mind off what's really happening. Denial is a helluva drug. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. pilcro plaid tunic blouse I love this pilcro Read More

It is officially the point in August where I am dying to clean out closets and get rid of all the things I didn't wear this summer. It's kind of stupid at this point because there are at least two more months of heat, but the seasons are about to change and I can't wait on the weather to do the same. Once kids go back to school, I get in fall mode. Yesterday, we started by cleaning out Read More

I've had this week marked on my calendar all summer and knew it was going to be a busy one. Texas A&M has two different optional freshman orientation camps and Caroline decided to go to both of them within the same week. So we left here last Sunday and I drove her to Impact Retreat outside of Waco and dropped her off then drove back home. Then yesterday I drove back to pick her up and we're Read More
