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

Fashion Friday: Edition I’m too tired to think of a name

Diary, Fashion

Listen. It's been a long week here. But I wanted to let you know that for whatever reason, the sam edelman camellia tall suede boots are back in stock in limited quantities in camel and black right now at Nordstrom Rack. I got mine this week and they are all I dreamed they would be. I will suggest that if you're between sizes or not sure, I'd order a half size up. They really are just Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s November!

Diary, Fashion

I feel like I blinked and October was over. And now that we are past Halloween, you know that it's time to turn our thoughts toward the upcoming holiday season. I am a purist and fully embrace Thanksgiving and all that November brings before I focus on Christmas. I like to take my months one at a time. But I did want to tell you about one thing I'll be doing for sure in the next few days to Read More

Big Boo Cast: Episode 122

Podcast

I think it's a given that we discussed the outcome of the Texas A&M vs. Mississippi State game. Spoiler alert: The Aggies lost. But we also talk about Sophie's tough love strategy and trying to turn our teens into productive members of society. And the fact that I guess I'm going to sleep with cloth surgical tape on my forehead from now on. You can click here to listen. Or here. You can even Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition you won’t even believe what is back in stock

Diary, Fashion

I don't know that I've ever loved the internet more than I did yesterday when I had no less than twenty people message me on Instagram to let me know that they noticed that Nordstrom Rack had the Sam Edelman Camellia boots in stock. If you're new here or don't listen to the podcast, then maybe you don't know that I have spent the better part of a year lamenting the fact that I didn't buy these Read More

Big Boo Cast: Episode 121

Podcast

It will probably come as no surprise that we talk about college football in this episode. It was a good weekend for me because my Aggies had a bye week which meant I was a normal person. But Sophie's Bulldogs played LSU and, well, it was a defensive struggle. And an offensive struggle. Also, targeting calls continue to be my hot button. But we also discuss the lines you get when you Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition and now we find ourselves with no plans

Diary, Fashion

I thought I'd be packing us up for a weekend trip to Dallas for soccer this weekend, but all our games got cancelled due to all the rain. So instead I'm wondering what to do with all this newfound freedom and time. The sky is the limit. We may go to Home Depot AND Bed, Bath and Beyond before it's all over. via GIPHY Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. ae oversized Read More
