We also discuss our Thanksgiving weeks and other things. You can click here to listen. Or here. You can even Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition I have fallen in love with New Hampshire

Fashion

It's true. I spent this week in New Hampshire and parts of Maine and I'm a little bit in love with all of it. I'm sure I may not feel the same after months of temperatures below 15 degrees, but it was a great place to be for a few days in December. And I'm going to write an actual blog post about the last few weeks next week sometime, but life just hasn't quit moving for about the last Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition the last one of November

Diary, Fashion

Well. It feels like it's already December. We bought our tree last night and it's now in our living room waiting to be decorated. But I'm thinking I'll get the dead mums and rotted pumpkins off my porch before I put the lights on the tree. I guess now I have weekend goals. And since we are officially in the Christmas season, I thought I'd share a couple of good gift ideas that are on sale Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s Black Friday

Diary, Fashion

This is going to be quick because Caroline and I are in Orlando and spent the day at Universal Studios seeing all things Harry Potter related. And we have soccer early Friday morning. Here's what I know for sure right now. A lot of people go to theme parks on Thanksgiving Day. I had no idea. Here's the other thing I know for sure. There are so many great sales going on right now that will Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition the one before Thanksgiving

Diary, Fashion

I loved reading your comments about Mabel yesterday and have no doubt that those of you who declared you don't "reckon Mabel's heart will hinder her none" are my people. I laughed out loud. For those of you who listen to the Big Boo Cast, Sophie and I recorded the first of two gift guide editions yesterday that will go up over the weekend. I'll post that here on Monday. As for now, here Read More

It’s not the size of the dog, it’s the size of the heart

Another day, Dogs

I can't even tell you how many times I've started to write a blog post over the last few weeks and then I either decide I have nothing to say or I get distracted by Netflix or Caroline texts me from wherever she is at the time to tell me it's time for me to come pick her up. And all my good intentions go out the window. But here I am. Caroline is home which means she won't have to be picked Read More

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 123

Podcast

This one contains some technical difficulties which reminded us why we only managed to record one podcast a year between 2008 and 2011. But we persevered because we are better people now than we were then or maybe we just have a few more tricks up our sleeve and knew to switch to a different format. We also discuss Mississippi State's outstanding defensive performance against the Crimson Tide, Read More
