Podcast

You’re probably aware of this, but I went to the Taylor Swift concert this past Sunday, so on this (super-sized) episode we spend a significant amount of time on a TSwift recap. AS WE SHOULD. We also talk about a spaghetti dinner for Alex’s buddies, a friend’s 40th birthday party, and Sophie’s quick weekend trip to Mississippi.

On top of all that, ’tis the season for our 2023 Graduation Gift Guide, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

On this episode I share the joys of cleaning out Caroline’s closet, and Sophie shares how she tried to break date night dining protocol in a way that she told herself was subtle even though it wasn’t subtle at all. We also talk about an exciting development in my Taylor Swift concert plans, and Sophie confesses that she had to invest in a heating pad. Life is a series of highs and lows, right?

You might be surprised by our thoughts on the 80’s fashion influences we’re seeing in stores (here’s a hint: we’re fans), and it’s Sophie’s turn for Five Favorites.

We don’t want to oversell the excitement of this episode, but this week I share an update about my ice maker (we say the word “coils” approximately 74 times), and Sophie talks about a plastic table that has really filled the no-more-dining-room gap in her house. We also discuss our Easter weekends.

On top of all that, we discuss some recent enjoyable moments in entertainment (Sophie just finished a book and a show that she loved), and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!
