Well, ’tis the season for NCAA baseball regionals, so this week Melanie and I discuss the fact that the Bulldogs are headed to Tallahassee, and we also briefly analyze the SEC uniforms this season (you may be surprised by the team I have designated as the uniform winner). Plus, we talk about Mel’s adventures with getting Caroline’s suitcase(s) packed for Europe and the complications that arise when husbands decide they want to be healthy eaters.

As (almost) always, we break down what we’ve watched this past week, and it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Hope y’all enjoy!

This week Melanie and I talk through a wrap-up of our Christmas festivities, and we even (unexpectedly) discuss some low-level goals for 2023. We also talk about our current writing frustrations, and I share about an exciting new habit I developed in 2022. Except that it’s not really exciting. But yay for new habits!

You can rest assured that we break down everything we’ve watched this past week – we have definitely put in some time in front of the television – and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Hope y’all enjoy!

Melanie is feeling so much better this week, and you’ll be delighted to hear her back in her normal feisty form (particularly where NCAA basketball is concerned). We continue our discussion from a few weeks back about Whoop City (oh, it tickles me), and we also talk about my recent facial – not to mention how this past weekend’s PJ Morton concert changed my life a little bit.

Melanie has a new book recommendation for us, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Well, first of all, we recorded this episode with Melanie talking on her phone because her microphone was in the guest room where P was napping. Sure, we could have waited until another day so that the sound quality was better, but when you’ve only recorded 80 podcasts over the last 10 years, you take the recording opportunities when they present themselves – no need to wait for pesky sound equipment.

Second of all, we answer several of your questions in this podcast, including how we navigate arguments in our marriages and whether watching This Is Us is worth it (short answer: YES). We also discuss fall fashion, disagree about whether booties have run their course, and marvel at our current state of skin care contentment.

Finally, we talk about workout pants and granola because, well, of course.
