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!

Here’s to 300 more episodes in maybe 15 years or less.
I’m always telling my sister things I’ve learned or heard about on your podcast. She now refers to you two as my “fake friends” lol!! I actually met you both years ago at a Women’s Retreat at Falls Creek Convention Center in Davis, OK. I became a follower instantly! Thank you both for being my “fake friends”. :)
Love y’all! Every time I listen I feel like I’m participating in a conversation with old friends. Keep it up!!
Just love to begin my Thursday morning with The Big Boo! You and Melanie bring joy to my life. Congrats on 300 episodes! Look forward to each one ??
Sophie! I am sending my only daughter to college on Sept 8. I would love to win one of the prizes so I could treat myself to some good ole retail therapy! Thanks to you and Melanie for being such a bright spot and blessing in my life! I love laughing out loud with the two of you! Congrats!
Love y’all! Long time listener, congrats on 300!
I love y’all!!!! I also went to Samford, class of 1998. I loved my time there and still have relationships with my professors.

Thankful,

Sophie, congrats on 300 episodes!!! I love my Thursday morning commutes because I can visit with my friends, Sophie & Melanie. Your podcast, playlists, & 5 favorites are the favorite parts of my week. Thank you for teaching me there is the gospel in nearly everything if we are looking for it.
I was looking for some friends to listen to as I ran (to distract me from my thoughts of why am I doing this, maybe I’ll just stop). You all have filled my ear holes for hundreds of miles and I have definitely laughed instead of cried while I was running. I look forward to your episode weekly. signed, a fellow 9
Thanks for such a fun podcast! I love that I can listen to y’all wherever our crazy military life moves us to.
Congratulations on 15 years! Thank you for being my friends. My husband rolls his eyes every time I say “well, Boomama liked x show, maybe we should try it.” Blessings to you as you move Alex to college this week – I’m right behind you!

Congratulations on 300 episodes!!! I hope there’s 300 more……I love the podcast so much! I feel like I might be your only Canadian listener, but I’m sure that’s not true. I know zero things about college football, I don’t have a Trader Joes or an Ulta, but I just love listening every week and being part of the Patreon community as well! It’s so fun to listen to ladies my age, dealing with the “joys” of middle age and to laugh along with you.
Thanks for all you do!
I just love listening to you and Melanie when I take my walk. You are both amazing!
Happy 300th! Have loved being on this journey with you both!!

Been around since before dot mom. Thanks for the laughs!
I am a big fan of your podcast. As a mom of two girls ages 20 and almost 18 it all feels so relatable to the things you and Melanie talk about. When I listened to the beginning of episode 300 it (to quote Melanie) “about put me in the bed”! Alex and Caroline’s little voices about did me in! So sweet! You are a bright spot each and every week. Keep it coming!
Never have i ever left a comment on a blog… but for the big boo cast… here i am! Thank you for taking me back to the OG social media – the world of blogs. 15 years is honestly incredible. Love yall!
The silent laugh is easily one of my favorite things.
Congratulations on 300 episodes and 15 years. I’ve been listening since the very beginning. Such a joy!
I talk about you and Melanie like you are me besties!!! Thanks for always making me laugh. I have bought A LOT of five favorites so my husband doesn’t quite love you as much as I do—but that’s ok, you are MY friends!!!! Cheers to 300 more=)
