I don't know if this spring is worse than others, but it feels like the oak pollen is at an all time high around here. My entire back porch is yellow. My car is yellow. Our yard looks yellow. And my eyes are basically bloodshot and itchy all the time. It's as attractive as it sounds. So basically I'm going to stay inside until the oak finishes doing all it's pollinating and such. Which Read More

Since we recorded our last episode a few days early, it felt like we had lived ten lives when we sat down to record for this week. That's why you're going to hear about a wide array of topics, from which ride made Sophie nauseous at Universal to how college kids don't like to commit to activities to when Sophie's family received a free gift in Georgia to why she experienced buyer's remorse over a Read More

Listen. I just watched the Aggie men's basketball team lose by one point in the NIT championship game so I'm a little depressed at the moment. But I do just want to say that I am so proud of this team. They could have quit when they lost eight games in a row in February. They could have quit when the NCAA cheated them out of spot in the NCAA tournament (I SAID WHAT I SAID) but they showed Read More

It is hard to believe that March is almost over, yet here we are. Spring is officially in the air and I, for one, couldn't be more excited about this development. Springtime in Texas is really the best season because it's just the right amount of warm before summer gets here and tries to kill us all. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. exploring love coral maxi dress Love Read More

If you're wondering this week if I am over my spirit of grievance with the NCAA regarding the college basketball tournament, I will settle that question for you almost immediately after this episode starts. We also explore two new topics - doom piles and tantouring - and lament our complete lack of skill when it comes to organizing and applying make-up. It's my turn for Five Favorites, and Read More

This bonus episode marks a first for us, and that's because our guest, Kim Spradlin-Wolfe, was actually a Survivor champion about ten years ago. This means she can claim some next-level mental and physical toughness, so suffice it to say that Sophie and I - as a couple of Enneagram 9s - are fascinated. Kim also has a new show coming out on HGTV, so we talk about that along with a fun project Read More

I'm feeling so much better this week and I have some thoughts to share (particularly where NCAA basketball is concerned). We continue our discussion from a few weeks back about Whoop City (such a dumb name), and we also talk about Sophie's recent facial - not to mention how this past weekend's PJ Morton concert changed Sophie's life a little bit. It's Sophie's turn for five favorites! Enjoy, Read More

On this week's bonus episode Sophie and I talk with our friend Kari Kampakis, who lives in Birmingham and is the author of four books. Kari also happens to be one of our favorite Instagram follows. The mom of four daughters and a graduate of The University of Alabama, Kari has so much wisdom to share about friendship, the dynamics between moms and daughters, the power of being vulnerable and going Read More
