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!

Congratulations on 15 years and your 300th episode! As a long time listener/Patreon subscriber, I have been thankful for you in so many different ways. I feel like you’ve been part of my growth in learning to know and accept myself, and I always appreciate the lightness and humor you bring to my podcast listening time. I wish you the best personally, as friends and business partners, and in your families. Cheers to many more years and episodes of the Big Boo Cast!
With a grateful heart,
Katrina
Love the podcast but my husband could kill y’all for starting the five favorites! Congrats on 300!
So happy for y’all!
Happy 300th! Love the podcast!
Congratulations on your 300th episode! Love y’all!
I can’t tell you how much I’ve loved listening to you all for the past 10 years. You’ve taken me from singlehood, to marriage to having three babies under three. I love listening to you all and feeling like I have two best friends over chatting with me. Blessings to you sweet ladies!!
Congrats on 300! Love listening to y’all each week!
Congratulations on 15 years!! Woohoo!!
Love your podcast! I’m a 29 year old who lives in California and your podcast just makes me so happy!! So thankful for you two making me laugh over the years!
This is such a fun & generous way to celebrate your 15 years + 300th episode! Congratulations! I love listening & laughing along with you all. Such a lovely part of my week. Congratulations again!
Congratulations on 300 episodes!
Love listening to you ladies so much. So many laughs, and I love the parenting wisdom from mothers who are a little further down the road than I am. My Amazon bills are higher and my bathroom drawers and closet are full of your recs. Congrats on 15 years! Geaux Tigers!
Congrats on 300! I’m a newer listener and have enjoyed every minute! So much fun listening to you and Melanie!

Love love love your podcast!! Truly my favorite!!
You all are just a TRUE DELIGHT!! So grateful that whole blog thing didn’t go as planned, because listening to you all chat, laugh, and get fired up is one of my favorite parts of the week! KADOOS Sophie and Melanie! ???????????????????????? Happy 15th anniversary and Happy 300th episode!!
Congrats on your 300th episode! I feel so blessed to have found your podcast along with your books. Two weeks ago, as the President of my local school board, I was tasked with giving a speech to 1,100 educators and staff as part of a back to school kickoff. My message was drawn from chapter 10 of “Stand All the Way Up”, about serving, encouraging and listening to each other and “pulling the rope in the same direction”. Thank you for providing such an inspirational message and attributed quotes that I was able to share with my audience!
Congratulations on #300 in 15yrs. I’ve been listening for years and I look forward to every episode making me laugh and purchase random stuff. Keep it up!!! Can’t wait to meet you when you come to Union City in November.
Just started listening on a recommendation from a family member-love the podcast so much! Y’all are a delight to listen to. Very refreshing!
Congrats!!!! I found your podcast about 3 years ago and it was a blessing. I love Ouida Wednesday on Instagram so much I bought the cookbook. The recipes and pictures remind me of my mom and Granny Lois cooking for the family dinners in Texas. Keep the podcast episodes coming. XOXOXO Jenn
I’ve been listening to Big Boo for so long I can’t even remember when except y’all weren’t regular then, and it was so exciting when an episode dropped! I’ve loved the sisterly chitchat all thru the years, and when I learned you taught English once upon a time, that cemented our virtual, mainly one-sided friendship. I’m also an English teacher (retired). Thanks for responding to my rare comments on your instastories or blog. Yours and Melanie’s books & recipes have been fun, and all the other delightful wit, wisdom, & material things – all the things – you’ve shared through the years have kept me “looking on the bright side” when sometimes it was kinda hard to do. So thank y’all for that! Y’all’s catch phrases have made their way into my vernacular, and it makes me smile when they slip out. The interweb is weird, but can be good, too, like you said. I love your Martha voice. It’s delightful! Keep on influencing!
Congrats!! So grateful for your infectious joy & for getting to 15 years!
Happy 300th Episode! Thankful for y’all. Especially for five favorites. I love telling people, “Oh my friends Soph and Melanie told me about this product! Isn’t it great?” and “add to cart” is my mantra.
I found your podcast during Covid and have listed to it ever since. It it a highlight of my week!
Congrats on 300 episodes! Love ya’lls podcast! My Texas daughter went to University of Alabama so we have some mutual friends which I think is so weird. My other daughter went to Texas A & M so naturally I connect with Melanie. Keep up the fun podcast! Love the books too.
Sophie and Melanie- you are a blessing and a light in my world! Thank you both for the joy you bring to my life and to so many others. I am a stay at home mom with a two year old daughter. I am a native Texan living in Colorado, and like other listeners have said, hearing your voices every week makes me feel like I’m getting a hug from home (the South). I am also training to be a professional counselor, which can be very heavy and dark. Your podcast always brings a lightness and joy that truly ministers to me. I am truly thankful for you and the work you do! I am literally praying about winning one of the prizes (lol)–James says that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective- standing on that promise today! HUGS.
Y’all are just the best! The podcast is always a highlight of my week! Thank you!
Congratulations! I’ve been listening since day 1 and it’s still a highlight of my week!
Loved this episode! You are a light!!!
Loved going down memory lane with you two!!!! I’m so excited every Thursday to hang with my friends!

Your podcast brings such joy into my life and reminds me of listening to my moms best friend and her talk when I was growing up. That friend who was also like a mom to me passed away over 15 years ago but I always think of her when listening to your podcast and makes me so happy. Thank you!
I have loved listening to you two for a few years. You both remind me of my Aunt Betty Lou and my best friend Linda who both past away a few years ago. I feel like they are still with me when listening to you. I also love it when I’m laughing out loud on my walk around the neighborhood while listening.
Love the podcast!
Congratulations to The Big Boo! Thank you for bringing some laughs, love and fellowship to us each week. Y’all are fun to listen to, and are a joy in my day.

Happy anniversary ladies!!! I first discovered you when I attended a fundraiser in Amarillo featuring Knox and Jaimie. I went for K&J but came away a Melanie and Sophie fan. I keep waiting for a reprise of Melanie’s impression of her aunt.
The two of you have brought me so much joy and laughter when the world has felt so bleak. Thank you for the love and light you bring to this world.
I love your podcast! Thanks for providing joy every week!

Love y’all! Love college football and y’all have turned this big 12 girl into an Aggie fan my longhorn family would just roll their eyes at that comment and Miss State fan although I already was a small one bc of Leach and his connection to my Alma mater. Thank you ladies for all you do!
