Summary

This week Melanie is helping Caroline get ready for her Europe trip, I'm gearing up for the SEC Baseball Tournament, and we're both feeling mildly fascinated by the Busch Apple phenomenon. We talk about all of the above, of course, as well as what we've watched this past week (I'm really having to process my feelings about The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives). 

We also discuss some Mississippi-adjacent things that have made me super happy, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!
