This week Sophie and I talk through a wrap-up of our Christmas festivities, and we even (unexpectedly) discuss some low-level goals for 2023. We also talk about our current writing frustrations, and Sophie shares about an exciting new habit she developed in 2022. Except that it's not really exciting. But yay for new habits! You can rest assured that we break down everything we've watched this Read More

Yep. If you haven't finished your Christmas shopping then it's time to get going. And probably too late for a lot of shipping unless you order everything from Amazon, in which case you can have it before you finish reading this post. My college girl is home, the first batch of Chex Mix has been made, the Christmas tree is still alive and life is pretty dang good. Here are some cute things I Read More

As you can imagine, we were heartbroken to hear about Coach Leach's death earlier this week. We actually recorded this episode before he passed away, so we talk about a lot of the stuff you might expect: My hunting wardrobe, the trip that David and Sophie took last week, A&M's continued search for an offensive coordinator, and our thoughts about the college kids coming home for Christmas Read More

I can't believe the fall semester is almost over, but here we are. Caroline has her first final today and will be home on Wednesday for almost a month. And so I've been busy getting the house and her room ready for Christmas and all of that. And my goal this weekend is to wrap the growing pile of boxes that I keep shoving into a corner of my bedroom, but I also still need to decorate the Read More

We are officially to December and that means if you haven't started your Christmas shopping then you're behind. So what I'm telling you is I am behind. I've bought a few things here and there, but I really needed to get past Aggie football season and Thanksgiving before I could focus. And here we are. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. Sorel explorer II Joan Read More

We honestly weren't sure how we were going to make this episode happen because I have a pretty significant case of laryngitis this week. As in I had zero voice on Sunday and Monday - which is problematic in terms of recording a podcast episode. However, on Tuesday morning I thought I could power through, and that is exactly what I did. As a result, you're about to hear the raspiest account of the Read More

This is going to be quick because I am tired from all the Thanksgiving festivities. Plus there are so many good sales to take advantage of sooner rather than later so I'm actually posting this Thursday night instead of Friday. Three things of note: Anthropologie currently has 30% off with no code needed. So if you've had your eye on something there, it's the time to buy. Spanx also has 20% Read More

This week I explain why I went to College Station but opted to excuse myself from the actual football game, and I share some A&M / Reveille history. We talk through a few other football-related items before we move into Thanksgiving prep and plans, so be sure to look in the show notes for the recipes we mention. 'Tis the season, after all. We also discuss Christmas movies as well as the Read More

I know it is the biggest cliche in the world to talk about how fast this year has gone by, but this year has gone by so fast. And in case you haven't heard, next week is Thanksgiving. This means two things for me: My child will be home for a few days. I will cook and eat a lot of food. I hope you all have a great one. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. cozy mock-neck Read More
