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!

Sophie, I’ve listened to this podcast since the beginning of time and these episodes kept me quite entertained on long road trips. I love that we both have family in same small town in MS and I can relate so well to stories about home. Thank you for bringing me so much joy and I’m always thoroughly entertained during football season. I hell Go Dawgs too, just a different dog than you.
Best podcast ever!
Congrats on 300 episodes. You all delight me each week.
Hope this next phase of parenting goes well. It’s fun to see them soar and reach their potential. But it’s not easy to see them go.
