Cheers to 3 Years, Knockers!
Can you believe it? Today, Knock It off turns THREE.
On March 26th, 2023, two sisters living in the ‘burbs of Florida released our very first piece, titled “It’s F.A.C.!” to introduce ourselves to the world. Share our humor vibe. Explain why we are the way that we are.
From there, we have journeyed through pieces on:
Childhood memories
* The orange tree that sparked a sister duel
* Sacagawea walks into a bank
Parenting vulnerabilities
* I want to remember you this way
* Mean girls are out
* Walking the tightrope
Parenting humor
* Congratulations, you are our mystery reader!
* How to survive the weekend kid birthday circuit
Travel adventures
* We are going to Chicago
* 15 American observations following a 7-day adventure to England with children
* What to expect on an Everglades airboat tour
* Our unwitting visit to the haunted Driskill hotel
Cultural trends
* Charcuterie: the ultimate party flex (our most popular post to date?)
* The Stanley tumbler
* Dorm makeover madness (why didn’t this get more traction?)
Hair tutorials and nightmares
* You gotta put some mousse on it
* Bleach leak
How to turn 40
* The strange thing that happens when you turn 40
* Not ‘Just Another Birthday’
Marriage Advice
* You won’t believe these romantic texts from our husbands!
* Life’s a kayak — get in
* Who is this new guy at my gym?
Movie / Documentary dissections
* A big flaw in ‘Father of the bride’?
* Are we being catfished by ‘Unknown number’?
* Movie review: Mixed nuts
Clearly, we run the gamut. No topic off limits, no leaf unturned.
A real variety show, if you will.
Because the crowd bellowed for more, we introduced our original unscripted conversation on January 28, 2024, titled “Jingle Bells and Milky Ways”
From there, about once a month, we rolled out a fresh take. Over time, these delightful conversations have taken on a life of their own with dedicated segments on:
Starbucks addictions
Farming with Millennials - Kara gardening / Bethany chicken updates
Turn a phrase like Truman Capote - elevating our metaphorical game
Pedigree of Paula - highlight a high performing woman of community
Tayvis - our parasocial relationship with Taylor and Travis
Snoop Dogg Update - always relevant
Sweaty Betty & Dare to Kare - our exercise journeys
Ask Bethany - always cringe, forever unanswerable, NEVER from our diaries
Taste of Kara - newest finds
Our personal favorites include:
I’m running Mojave (2/25/24)
Taking it in the Shorts (6/16/24)
Don’t Bust One on It (8/11/24)
It’s so Moist Here (9/16/24)
Proof of Life (3/30/25)
Sweata Weatha (9/21/25)
We even began surprising you with actual guests on the show. We didn’t even pay them to be there! Well, perhaps compensation occurred in the form of Taco Bell (see first title) or a Knocker hat.
Burnt Bean Burrito (11/16/25) - special guest Ashlee Anderson
You’re having a Fantasy! (12/21/25 - live audience consisting of our mother and her bestie, SHEEZ)
Put Her on a Leash (1/19/26) - special guest Eileen Pitcock
Stay tuned for our next unscripted convo, further commemorating this historical event.
From F.A.C. to “I love your shoes!” our hard knockers have showed up time and time again, ready at attention. For that, we salute you.
If you have a recommendation, review, or request regarding the future of Knock it Off, you know what to do. Drop us a cawwwwment! We always read, and rarely laugh at them.
We hope you take a moment to click through memory lane with us, and know that we are deeply thankful for each and every one of you.
Long live the Knockers!
