This week Sophie and I talk about how we're navigating the lull between college football and college basketball season, and we discuss P's newfound knowledge about face contouring and the Royal Family. Life comes at you fast. Sophie shares about the writing progress she made over the weekend (will wonders never cease), I have an update on my reading progress, and we also discuss some spring Read More

I realize that it's almost mid-January but I have still spent this past week in some sort of Christmas break type mindset because Caroline is still home. It's not bad. But next week the real world will hit and I'll do all the responsible adult things I've been putting off like making dentist appointments and such. I will say that as I looked around this week for Fashion Friday things, I Read More

On this episode Sophie and I talk about the college football National Championship, and one thing we for sure agree on is that Nick Saban is a delight and a joy as a commentator. We share some details from our respective weekends, and we spend a good bit of time breaking down Sophie's unwavering affection for Amy Grant (She has been in her feels about AG ever since she watched the Kennedy Center Read More

Happy New Year! Here we are in 2023. Congrats, you've made it. As for me, I'm still kind of living like I'm on Christmas vacation until Caroline goes back to school on January 16th. It's not a bad way to ease into the new year. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. mock turtleneck pullover If you need a great basic cream colored sweater, this one is really good. It's a Read More

We recorded later than usual this week because Sophie has been out of town, and we were moving through a series of New Year-adjacent recaps (the latest with the Shankles, State's bowl game, the playoff games, a few I See Yous) when I saw some breaking news about A&M's new offensive coordinator. To paraphrase Ross Gellar, it was a bit of a pivot because I needed to do some serious real-time Read More

I have spent this week between Christmas and New Year's with hardly a passing awareness of what day it is or what a vegetable looks like. And I have to say I don't hate it. But it's probably good that 2023 starts on Sunday and I'll need to rejoin the real world. Here are some cute things I found this week and, yes, some of them are kind of Valentine's Day adjacent so I'm essentially like Read More

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
