Fashion Friday: Edition it’s officially summertime here

Diary, Fashion

Today is our first official day of summer vacation. I mean, technically, we've already had a few days off due to the high school finals schedule and Caroline's exam exemptions, but yesterday was truly the very last day. I guess that means my baby is now a sophomore in high school and I don't even understand how that has happened. Needless to say, I'll be soaking in some downtime with my Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s Memorial Day weekend!

Diary, Fashion

I'm not sure where the time has gone but here we are at Memorial Day weekend. I have packed my last school lunch of the year because Caroline just has finals and so she doesn't have any full school days left. It's the most wonderful time of the year. And just in case you missed it, Episode 106 of the Big Boo Cast is posted here with all our thoughts on the Royal Wedding. This also feels Read More

Big Boo Cast: Episode 106

Diary

Well, here it is. All our thoughts on the Royal Wedding. We had some technical difficulties while we were recording so I'm sad to say some of our commentary got lost, but I still think we covered it all. Bottom line: WE LOVED IT ALL. You can click here to listen. Or here. You can even listen right here on the blog. And if you're on the Facebook, well, we are, too. We'd love for Read More

Counting down to summer

Another day

So these two crazy kids got married over the weekend. Maybe you heard about it. I think it was on T.V. (Side note: I have so many thoughts and feelings about the wedding and Sophie and I are recording a podcast all about it later today, so stay tuned for that.) We spent our weekend in College Station at a soccer tournament. It wasn't quite a royal wedding and there was nary a Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s a royal wedding weekend

Diary, Fashion

Is there some kind of wedding happening this weekend? I'm just not sure based on all the Lifetime movies and continuous specials about the royal family. In fact, I am currently watching Kate: The Making of A Modern Queen on the BBC. Also, stay tuned because later today I will post a very special Royal Wedding edition of The Big Boo Cast because who would we be if we didn't take the time to Read More

So what’s everyone reading?

Y'all. This is a big week for me. I mean, for Harry and Meghan. It's the big wedding and in true wedding form, you have some relatives that have decided now is a good time to act crazy banana pants. Royalty. They're just like us. Except with easier access to tiaras. The sad truth is I probably won't even get to watch the wedding until Monday morning because Caroline has a soccer Read More

A post with a lot of information

Another day, Diary

Hello. It's me. I've been wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet. Someone should make that a song. I figured I better dust off the ol' blog and write some sort of something before I forgot my password to get into it. Especially since forgetting passwords is my specialty. The other night I kept getting all these notices that someone was trying to log into my Twitter Read More
