There wasn't as much college football this past weekend, but there was still plenty of real life to talk about, including how our dogs like to encourage us to take them for walks and what we've been watching lately. 

Plus, Melanie shares an interesting theory re: a favorite vegetable, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. 

Hope y'all enjoy!
