Fashion Friday: Edition it’s back to school

Diary, Fashion

So just in case you missed it on social media, a lot of kids went back to school this week. As for us, we start on Monday but we have soccer this weekend so the reality is that we are back to the real world as of Saturday morning. And maybe that's for the best because our house has devolved into a place filled with nothing but Netflix marathons and potato chips. Did I just describe heaven? Read More

Big Boo Cast: Episode 148

Podcast

We kick off this episode with some awe and maybe a tiny bit of lamenting that our kids are officially licensed drivers, which is totally surreal but at least gives us opportunities to watch them swing and catch their keys a lot while they contemplate where they'd like to go next. As teenagers do. We also talk about a few books I've read lately, some books Melanie is about to read, and some Read More

Sixteen

Diary, Doodle

Dear Caroline, Today you are sixteen. Sweet sixteen. Except sweet isn't really your thing because you've always been a little more salty than sweet and I mean that in all the best ways. First thing this morning you'll go take your driver's test so you can go get your license on Monday morning and that's just one more step you'll take towards adulthood while I sit here and try to figure out Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s August, it’s hot and I don’t know why I’m surprised

Diary, Fashion

Well I'm going to blame the heat and my lack of attention to all details during the summer time for the fact that I thought I posted our latest podcast and was apparently wrong because it's nowhere to be found. But if you're a podcast fan, you can find the latest episode here on our Facebook page or here on Sophie's blog. This is also the week we launched our new Patreon option where you can Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition we are at the end of July and where did summer go?

Diary, Fashion

It's like the early part of this year lasted about six years and the last three months have flown by and now it's almost time to start thinking about fall clothes. Which I don't hate. Fall is really my favorite time of the year so I'm always a little relieved when we get to August and I know we only have two months left of super hot temperatures. In other words, we are halfway through summer in Read More

Big Boo Cast: Episode 146

Podcast

In this episode we talk all about our recent visit to Pawhuska, OK to see Ree and stay at the Boarding House. We may talk excessively about all the food we ate while we were there.

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s good to be home

Diary, Fashion

I've been out of town all week so this is going to be quick. I will say there are many good sale items to be found right now depending on what you may want or need. Here are a few cute things I found this week: 1. j.crew rainbow enamel hoop earrings I have loved these all summer because they are so bright and fun, yet still just a hoop. They are on sale for $23.99 but an extra 50% Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition wow it’s mid-July

Fashion

Well I missed doing Fashion Friday last week because I guess I was still caught up in the fourth of July festivities. Or maybe I just ended up binge-watching Veronica Mars with Caroline and forgot it was Friday. I can't remember. Whatever the case, we are now almost right in the middle of July which is insane. Summer is going to be over before I can blink, but on the upside it means college Read More
