This week on Tuesday Date Night, we’re covering a little bit of everything 😆 Cole’s birthday is this week so we celebrated at Helen! We get into Katherine’s upcoming trip to Auburn. Plus, we somehow end up discussing why tortoise shell is popular, along with plenty of our usual marriage, family, and life tangents.

Don’t miss Katherine’s picks and keepers:

Everyone needs a jelly shoe right now. Especially one that’s this comfortable and cute!

This little gadget is perfect for helping set healthy habits for your little ones.

A cute little set for morning drop offs and running errands (I sized up)!

Cole’s back from another wild weekend on the road, and let’s just say… the people on his flight were doing THE MOST. ✈️😂 We’re recapping the travel chaos, Katherine’s QUICK trip to Atlanta for Scott’s Antique Show (and the ongoing, borderline obsessive hunt for the perfect rug), and then Katherine makes her football picks for the week, because apparently she’s an analyst now too.

Katherine’s Keepers:

My favorite Halloween decor that is sure to sell out again this year!

This rechargeable lightbulb is the perfect way to use my vintage wall sconce!

If your bath robes could use a little refreshing, this $35 upgrade is the perfect buy. It would be great to monogram and give as a gift too!

College football season is officially back, which means Cole is back on the road, and his first weekend did NOT go exactly according to plan. 😂 We’re talking travel delays, food poisoning, and the reality of getting back into the rhythm of another football season.

Meanwhile, Katherine and the kids made the most of the holiday weekend with some much needed family time!

Katherine’s Keepers:

My fall shoe game keeps getting better and better!

A travel must-have for Cole…

Football season is officially HERE, which means Cole’s schedule is about to get absolutely insane. We talk about what his life looks like heading into Week 1 of college football, while Katherine is in the thick of sorority recruitment and living a completely different kind of chaos.

And then Katherine decides to put Cole on the spot: What does HE actually think happens during sorority recruitment? 😂

Don’t forget to check out Katherine’s Keepers:

I went a little shoe heavy this week, but I found two that I am loving for fall. These suede wedges are the perfect neutral to pair with anything from a dressy outfit to jeans a a top!

https://go.shopmy.us/p-79595170

I love these for a pop of color and fun! They are super comfortable, but size up!

I wish I had a link for my favorite candle, but this just gives you an excuse to take a trip to Birmingham. When you do, run by the Grand Bohemian in Mountain Brook and grab their signature candle in the lobby.

Finally- if you want to help Kit reach her goal with her school fundraiser, check out our Instagram stories for a link!

It’s a long distance Tuesday Date Night! Cole is in Charlotte, Katherine is holding down the fort at home, and somehow we still managed to record a podcast. 😂

Cole goes FULL football mode as we dive into the state of college football, while Katherine breaks down what it actually means to be a sorority recruitment advisor.

And just when you think you know your husband… you find out he once had a PET ALLIGATOR. 🐊

Katherine’s Keepers:

This one is such a keeper, I brought it back around for a second time. We truly can’t live without these for the shower!

The cutest little athletic dress! I sized up to a medium in this one!

You can’t have an antique plate obsession without owning these as well!

Since I mentioned it, this is the newest color in my favorite lip stain. It’s more of an every day neutral. The color is “Noon Chai”.

On this week’s episode of Tuesday Date Night, we talk bowling during your lunch break. Cole’s former life as a shoe salesman also comes back into the conversation as we compare shopping back then to shopping with kids now. In addition, we tackle Cole’s negativity and the pursuit of everyday positivity and happiness. Then things get serious when we debate the definition of a boy band.

Katherine’s Keepers:

The perfect drink cooler for a backyard of boys. Grab a canister of powdered purple koolaid, add water and ice, and you’re ready to be the most popular house on the block.

Cooler

Kool-aid

My most requested link. Y’all always love these shoes! I love this color more than my own.

Shoes

Y’all know I love a good lip product. I love this matte lip stain for fall. It’s long lasting and gives such a fresh finish.

Lips

I also love this lip staining liner!

Liner

After a week off, Cole and Katherine are back with plenty to catch up on! They recap their trip to the Grand Hotel and the beach, revisit family board game night, and ask the important question: Where exactly did Cole’s underwear go?

I promise this will make cooking so much easier!

Cole took the boys to Pittsburgh. Katherine took their daughter to Disney World. One trip involved baseball, the other involved Lightning Lanes... and both came home exhausted. Then Cole puts Katherine's college sports knowledge on the line with a Big 10 mascot quiz that goes about as well as you'd expect. Which vacation was more chaotic? Tune in and decide for yourself.

Katherine’s Keepers:

The only way we made it through Disney in July!

The cutest notepad if you like a to-do list!

I’ve told y’all about Jones Road foundation before, but I wanted to try the miracle balms for a while before sharing. I’ve been using for almost 6 months now, and I’m a big fan. Pinched cheeks and sunkissed are my favorite colors right now.

Link

Here is a palette with both of those colors (plus one more). This would be an easy way try out the balms at an affordable price!

Football season is almost here. This week, Cole shares highlights from SEC Media Days and explains why his lapel pin collection deserves its own press conference. Katherine heads to Franklin for a sister trip filled with shopping, catching up, and a delicious meal. Then, back by popular demand (Cole's), football trivia returns. Can Katherine answer Cole's latest questions, or will she once again prove that confidence and accuracy are not the same thing?

Katherine’s Keeper:

The future of my caladiums depends on this sign, so I’m crossing my fingers and toes it works😆!

Sign

I bought this tote as a dance bag for Kit, but she insisted on taking it as her overnight bag this week to my sister’s house. It worked great as a little weekend/ spend the night bag. It would be so easy to monogram too! It comes in several cute colors.

Bag

The matching cosmetic bag is sold out in the pastel rainbow stripe, but it comes in other colors. It’s a great size! It’s bigger than an average cosmetic bag , which I like.

Cosmetic bag

This is my second hair clip from this brand. It holds my hair well and is much better quality than cheap drugstore ones that break so often.

Cole kicked off this week by reminding us that kidney stones are apparently his favorite recurring hobby. You’ll never guess the twist this story takes 😂. We also dive into the impossible balancing act of raising kids. When do you let them fail, when do you swoop in, and how do you keep from making everything worse? Then, because we’ve earned it, we tell you all about our dinner at Helen, where the food was so good it almost made Cole forget he’d recently been personally attacked by his own kidneys. Almost.

Katherine’s Keepers:

The only lip staining product I’ve used that doesn’t dry out your lips. I LOVE this lip oil so much that I bought it in two colors!

Guava

First Sari

A diamond tennis necklace that looks believably real. It really snazzes up your necklace layering.

Necklace

$25 pajamas that are a must! Go ahead and buy them in both colors. I wear a size medium for reference.
