This week I share all about our trip to A&M for Caroline's New Student Conference (to use baseball terminology, it was a real home run). We also talk about TV (Sophie finished watching Breaking Bad and HAS SOME THOUGHTS), and we dig into our current summer reading situations. Plus, we discuss our current state of contentment with our beauty products (I KNOW), and it's my turn for Five Read More

So Caroline and I just spent the last few days at Texas A&M for her new student conference. This is basically an orientation for new students and included all manner of information, including meeting with her academic advisors and choosing her classes for the fall. She is now officially an Aggie and I have to say that I walked away loving Texas A&M more than ever. Which, if you've read here long, Read More

Well, Caroline has graduated from high school, which is shocking considering that it seems like yesterday when she was telling Alex about "bad twaffic" in "San Antone-yo" on an early episode of the podcast. Anyway, I bring us up to speed on the graduation festivities, and we also talk about last week at the SEC baseball tournament as well as some of my initial reactions to the Friends reunion Read More

It's a big week for The Big Boo Cast: Caroline's high school graduation and the SEC Baseball Tournament. Not that those two things are of equal importance, of course (I mean, graduation = milestone). But Sophie and I talk about graduation and the tournament and TV and so much more on this week's episode. We also discuss an exciting new find in the way of summer shorts, and I share my Five Read More

You know what's more tiring than May? May with a high school senior who is about to graduate. You know what's more tiring than that? Navigating all of it after coming out of a pandemic and being socially awkward after a year of no real social events. All that to say, I'm so tired. But here are some cute things I found this week. 1. custom Judith march patch hats I don't Read More

This week we talk about the different ways we're aware that MAY, IT IS UPON US - graduation and office clean-out for Sophie, Caroline's soccer all-star game and pre-graduation festivities for me. I also share an exciting new charcuterie idea (GENIUS), and Sophie talks about some shorts that are suddenly everywhere and clearly taking summer by storm. We also discuss what we're watching (of Read More

Listen. All I can tell you is it's been a week here. I'm about to shut down the computer and head to bed. But just in case you missed it, I did a whole instagram story yesterday on finding dresses for your teen girl and saved it in my highlights. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. hyacinth batik top I got the Sundance catalog in the mail this week and it's always Read More

I knew May was going to be a busy month around here and this weekend is kind of the kickoff of a whole lot of festivities that come with having a senior in high school. And I am certainly not complaining because the last year has made me beyond grateful for normal and social interaction and being able to live life. I'm just saying that I'm going to need to sleep when June gets here. In the Read More
