This week Melanie and I kick off the episode with a recap of My Weekend with Martha (maybe that should be trademarked), which was super fun (you can imagine! can't you just imagine?!), and we talk about this new season of life where our kids aren't around very much. This basically makes us feel like we're dating the people we've been married to for 25 years. 

Also, Melanie fills us in on a movie she loved, we both have rave reviews for a TV show we adore, and we break down the AP college football poll that came out this week (spoiler alert: Melanie continues to give Notre Dame the side-eye). As always, we wrap up with Five Favorites - it's Melanie's turn this week.

And just a reminder: next week is our 300th episode and our 15th podcast-i-versary. We have some fun giveaways planned - because we want to be sure to celebrate the milestones! :-)

Hope y'all enjoy episode 299!
