It's been a week-o-special-events for both of us, and on this episode we're going to talk about all of them. You'll hear about Perry and me getting all dressed up for a wedding, Sophie's quick trip to see college friends, and Alex's performance in Into the Woods. Plus, I have some exciting new skin care strategies to share. We're also going to discuss TV (it's Sophie's favorite coping mechanism Read More

You may not be aware if you don't live in South Texas but we are in a bit of a drought. And every day this week it's been overcast and unbelievably humid and, well, just gross. If this is going to be our new weather pattern then I, at the very least, need it to amount to some measurable rainfall. It doesn't seem like too much to ask. All that say, the old "March winds and April showers" Read More

We're all over the place this week, so if you would like to hear about what's on sale at Anthropologie along with the snake situation at the ranch along with a round-up of some recent TV shows along with a story about some leggings, this is the episode for you.

Anyway, here are some cute things I found this week: 1. just hold on white eyelet midi dress A lot of you have emailed and messaged me asking about dresses for graduation Read More

We both had lively weekends - Parents' Weekend for me, a John Mayer concert and daddy's birthday celebration for Sophie - and you're gonna get a recap of all of the above. We have some thoughts about concert couples and late-night fast food and the sweetness of being with family. We also revisit the topics of doom piles and radishes, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Hope y'all Read More

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
