We recorded this episode waaaaaaay later than normal – like just a few hours ago – so I’m a little pressed for time in terms of an engaging description. :-) Let’s just go with this: skincare procedure thoughts, my 8-wing is fully engaged in a situation at our school, and Melanie has watched some television.

Please do enjoy.

This week Melanie shares the details of her vampire facial (which is a sentence I never thought I would write). We also talk about our respective weekends, and I share what I feel is an exciting new career path that I’ve discovered.

I take on 2020Boo and 2020Woo (I’m not exactly sure how to type those) on this episode, and it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Hope y’all enjoy!

On this week’s episode Melanie and I discuss Caroline’s return to College Station along with all the ways I’ve been living my best home improvement life. And then, because we like to tackle the big problems, we talk about our need for a better shoe system in our closets. As you do. 

While Melanie does have an exciting skin care development, she unfortunately has sad situation to report as far as her personal ice situation is concerned. Thankfully, however, she is not without ice hope. We wrap up with Five Favorites and a 202Boo (don’t worry – we’ll get the sequence of these things figured out; we are, as always, slow to come up with a system). 

Hope y’all enjoy!

We waited until after the National Championship game (congrats, Georgia Bulldogs!) to record this episode, so naturally we talk about the game and all the reasons why we felt like it was the best of college football. We also discuss Melanie’s weekend with Caroline and her college friends, plus a new kind of exercise I recently tried for the first time.

On top of that, we offer our thoughts on the Duchess of Cambridge’s 40th birthday portraits, and it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, y’all!

Well, we’re kicking off 2022 with some on-brand audio issues (this time on my end – because my microphone didn’t connect to Zoom and I didn’t think to check it), so we hope that will be a comfort to you. Since we didn’t realize that I sounded like I was talking in a canyon, we still enjoyed some lively discussions about home deer and the Chick-fil-A drive-thru and #lowlevelgoals.

We also share some thoughts about bowl games, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, y’all!

Well, it’s a post-Christmas recap on this week’s episode, complete with our thoughts about what we ate and what we watched and what we’re looking forward to in this last week of the year.

Also, Melanie shares her thoughts on the Aggies’ bowl-game-that-wasn’t, and she has a fantastic list of Five Favorites that resulted in me buying not one but two things before we even finished recording.

Hope y’all enjoy!
