Summary
On this week's episode I recount a very exciting Step Sing weekend in our family, Melanie shares a delicious new dip discovery, and we both try to make our peace with who we didn't know at the Grammys.
As always we deal with the low-level hum of a leaf blower (and a vacuum!), and it's my turn for Five Favorites.
Hope you enjoy!
