Well, it’s our 300th episode – and our 15th podcast-i-versary – and Melanie and I are thrilled about both of these things. WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT. So, as you can imagine, we do a little reminiscing on this episode, but we also do a lot of talking about the here and now. That is because this is the week that Alex moves to college, and we have a lot to break down about that.
As always we recap our weekends, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.
Hope y’all enjoy!

You guys make my Thursdays so much brighter! Love listening to you while I run and you always make me laugh! Congrats on 300 episodes!
Thanks for keeping on keeping on!!!
Yay Sophie and Melanie!! My sisters and I listen every week and talk about what yall talked about. I met a girl at Camp Lurecrest in NC last weekend that is going to Alex’s college and I told her all about him like he was my nephew. You ladies make the world a better place.
Happy Anniversary! Love the podcast–thanks for the laughs on my commute to and from work!
congratulations on 300!
Love listening to you both! It’s like I’m ease dropping on your phone conversations!
Congratulations! Love listening to you both each week!
My mom and I have enjoyed listening you all for years—I think at least 5 years? We love to check in with each other and discuss each episode!
It’s not a pink it’s a pinky pink!
Absolutely LOVE you both and have listened to every episode.
I love your show! It literally makes me LOL!
Hi! Love y’all! Been listening since the In Style Days… I’m 34 years old now, Mom of 2 (7 and 5 in a few days). When I started, I had just begun college and y’all sounded like some fun Aunts to me. :) Now I consider both of you pseudo friends. Thank you for the laughs, the advice, and the perspective that parenting “bigs” can be just as fun (and lo, maybe even more) than parenting littles. KUDOS. Here’s to 300 more!
Congrats on 300 episodes! I love the podcast!
Love y’all’s podcast! Have been listening for years and have recruited some friends over too!
Also consider myself a Mississippi State and A&M fan as y’all are just the best fans that make college football even more fun!
Congrats on 300!!! I love the podcast!!
So glad that you keep on keeping on! I’m praying for you as you take your son to school. I was crying when I heard those little voices at the first of the podcast, so I’m empathizing with you during this life transition!
Congrats on 300 episodes! Jamie Golden sent me!
I may not have been listening from Episode One, but I feel like I have been on the journey with you both. From getting excited about a new episode after a few months without one to knowing I will hear your voices every Wednesday…I have really enjoyed listening! Congratulations to you both…what an accomplishment! Especially for two 9s (I’m a 9 too!). Which may be why I related to so much of your conversations!
Favorite day of the week is when there is a new Big Boo podcast to listen to! Thanks for continuing to make me laugh out loud, find a new product (or two) each week, and keep up with college football!
Congrats on 15 years and 300 episodes!
Congratulations on 15 years! I loved the 300th episode. So glad I found y’all all those years ago.
I absolutely love listening each week! Congrats on 300 episodes and 15 years!
SO grateful for you, friends! I absolutely enjoy listening each week, and a couple extra times a month on Patreon. Definitely a highlight in my week! Congrats on 15 years and 300 episodes!
Happy Anniversary!!
Love your show so much! Makes me laugh each week on my run! Thank you for all you do!! And those little voices … miss those days with my own kids!
Y’all have become the highlight of my week. So thankful I found the podcast over shutdown and the many afternoon walks I took jus to be outside were so much more enjoyable with y’all.
Love the podcast! It’s the only one I listen to religiously!
Your podcast will always hold a special place in my heart. One of the last times I brought my sister home from having chemo in Houston, we listed to you, Melanie and Travis. It was close to Christmas I believe. She had never listened and she would laugh with me. Thanks for the laughs!
Congrats on 15 years and 300 episodes!! You guys crack me up! I’m in northern Illinois, so I love listening to you talk about the weather situations down there. I have a senior this year, so I am learning what to expect from you and Melanie. I have bought MANY things based on your recommendations. Thanks for the many hours of funny, real, and Christian entertainment you have provided! Love you ladies!!!!
Love the podcast! Congratulations on 300 episodes and 15 years!
Congratulations on 15yrs!! Love the podcast!!!
Congrats on 300 episodes! You and Melanie brighten my Wednesday walks so much! Always love the SEC commentary – especially when you speak of my beloved Razorbacks.
Yay for 300 and hopefully many many more!!! Listening to y’all is always a highlight of my week!
WOW 300 episodes! Congratulations! You are my very favorite podcasts and I’ve read all your books.
Love the podcast! Congratulations on 300 episodes!
I feel like you are my friends and my people often ask how my friends are doing, especially during football season. I order your suggestions, talk football with anyone who will listen and share motivational inspiration regularly – and always give ‘my friends’ credit! I have cried with you during times of loss, celebrated during the wins and I agree with all of the conversations about targeting calls. Thanks for opening the door and welcoming me in so many years ago. Your faith and devotion has brought me such joy, strength and peace. I’m hoping for another 15 years and many more episodes :)
Love the podcast!! Congrats on 300 episodes!
Congratulations to two 9’s from another! Your podcast was my first and still remains my favorite. I listen on my commute and I’m sure there are times that other drivers worry about my driving ability because I’m laughing so hard! Please don’t ever stop.
Congratulations on episode 300. I’ve been listening since about episode 100. After hearing the sweet intro, I kinda want to go back and list to the first 99!
Yea for episode 300! Such sweet memories!
Native Texan listening from California. Mom of any only daughter. Skincare enthusiast. Grateful for your tutorage on all of these things (and more!) plus being such a bright spot in my week every week for many years!
My mom and I listen to this podcast together and we both love it!
You are such a joy and a bright spot in my day! Cheers to 300 episodes!!
Congratulations! The opener was SO good!
Happy 300th!! Laughed so much at your reminiscing and favorite moments. I agree that my absolute favorite thing is when you both laugh so hard that it’s complete silence…I sometimes have to touch my earbuds to make sure you’re still playing:) Congrats!
Thank you for so many laughs, tears and fun for so many years!
Love y’all deeply! Being a 9 myself, I can relate on so many levels… thank you for making me feel normal, most days! Here’s to 15 more years, and maybe 300 more… now that you’ve found your rhythm! Praise the Lord, won’t He do it!?!
Thank you both for all the good laughter and fun!
Congrats! Such an incredible accomplishment and so glad to be along for the ride with you both!
Happy anniversary!
The HIGHLIGHT of my week! I have heard every single episode and always laugh and sometimes cry… Thank you so much for 60 some minutes of levity and joy each week. You make my walks fly by and I appreciate you both. Congrats on year 15!!
SOPHIE! Congrats to 300 episodes. What an accomplishment. Who knew? I alway laugh when I listen to y’all ramble on about your life. Makes me feel so normal. I cherish my girlfriends and couple friends and happy that y’all do as well. So delightful to “know” you.
This is the only podcast I listen to! I don’t have a commute, so I have to figure out quiet times to listen, but I make it work!
One of my favorite moments of the past year–when Melanie declared that Alabama was like the Russian in Rocky IV. “He’s not a machine! He’s a MAN!”
Congrats on 300 episodes! You always make my day!
I’m a mom of 4 littles in my 30’s and you guys are my favorite podcast! You have upped my skincare game, keep me laughing and encourage me to keep investing in my littles in hopes of having a fun friendship with them when they are big.
I can’t remember exactly when I found your podcast, I think it was after I read one of Sophie’s books but I am soooo happy that I did! I just wish I would have found it sooner. I look forward to it every week and y’all always make me laugh. My favorite is when y’all get tickled, it reminds me of me and my sister (who is also my best friend) Also I had always ignored anything concerning enneagrams until y’all were talking about your piles one day, and that peaked my curiosity since it reminded me of myself so I went online and took the test to find that I am also an 8!!
Congratulations on 300 episodes! I love y’all as much as you can love 2 people you have never actually met. Blessings to you both!!
Oh and I forgot to mention that beginning of this episode with little Alex end Caroline is precious!!
Congratulations on episode 3oo!!!! My day is always made when I listen to y’all!!
Happy 300th Episode! My listening journey started wayyyy back after the release of “A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet”. I bought it from Square Books in Oxford and loved it. Next came the delight that is THE BIG BOO CAST and I’m so thankful y’all stuck with it. It truly is a marvel that you did! For every laugh you’ve given us all, for all the tips and tricks, and recipes and outfits and the parenting advice and on and on. Thank you Mel and Soph!!!
Kadoos! Happy 300th!
Congrats on 300 episodes! Always enjoy listening!
Congratulations on 300 episodes and 15 years! Your podcast is a delight I look forward to every week!!
Congrats on 300!

Congratulations! You are sunshine in my week!
Happy 15th and happy 300th episode!
Congratulations on 15 years of podcasting!
I have loved this show for 4 years. It’s been so fun to walk through life with y’all!!

Congrats. Love listening. Feel like we would be friends even though I am an Alabama Fan.
Happy 300th episode/15 yr anniversary!
I have listened to you guys for years…..your podcast is on my “always listen” list. Thank you for entertaining us all these years and for this giveaway!
So fun! Love you two mamas. Happy happy anniversary!
I look forward to your podcast every week! I love listening and I sound really knowledgeable whenever I’m able to throw out an A&M or State football fact! Thankful for y’all!
This was the best episode! I love listening to your podcast and look forward to it dropping every week. Congrats on 300!
300!!!!!!!
Love listening to your podcast every week. Congrats on 300 episodes and I hope you keep it up for at least 300 more!
Love the podcast!
Love the podcast! Thanks for all y’all do!
I’m so glad you guys stuck through it – you’re my favorite!
Classic Big Boo move by having the wrong link to the Anniversary episode with an error message (seriously, did y’all do that on purpose? Makes it even better!). Love, Love, Love the episode – baby Caroline and Alex made me tear up too! So many favorites (Add to cart, Kudooz, Won’t He…) It’s like a secret Big Boo club to hear those and know exactly what they mean! Thanks for all of the memories and for the uplifting chats about “all the things”
More than the 300 episodes, I’ve needed and loved your podcast for these 15 years! Congratulations!
CONGRATS! I’ve been with y’all from the start (blogging days) and feel like you’re family. Happy 15th – and 300th!
Congrats on 300!! Thanks for being so much fun
I have enjoyed listening to you & Melanie for the last 8 years. And the podcast has always made me relax & laugh through life’s ups & downs. I even listened to old episodes when I first found the podcast as I was living in Jordan and loved hearing just the simple conversations of two Christian mamas.
Love you two! I’ve been a fan for over ten years, heard you speak in West Monroe, LA several years back. Sometimes I forget I don’t know you in real life! Congratulations on 15 years.
CONGRATULATIONS 300 episodes & 15 years of laughs. Keep up the great work. Here’s to another 15 years which means I’ll be 68! ????
Congratulations and thanks for all the laughs!
Thank you for teaching us the importance of grating our own cheese (with special grace extended during a worldwide pandemic ????).
Love your podcast so much! Congratulations on 300 episodes!
Happy 15th! I began listening back in late 2009/early 2010 when I had a newborn and a 2 year old. Back then it was virtually impossible to talk on the phone to my real life friends and your podcast gave me some adult interaction during those all consuming baby and toddler years. Thanks so much for pushing through and continuing with it when it would have been easier to stop. Those early episodes are still some of my favorites.
Love the podcast!
Congratulations on 300 episodes! You both bring so much joy and light to my day! Thanks for sharing your gifts and lives with us!
