No-spend February fails; swimsuit woes; double entendres; reunions that heal; busting on name tags; rose fungus; encouragement for creatives; running stories; insults; and flower walks
Tis the week for our unscripted conversation & recommendations!
We have an unscripted convo (rather than writing) about once a month. During this convo, we ridicule each other while discussing books and other things we are currently loving. Why? Because we’ve never felt so alive.

Cheers to 3 Years, Knockers!
Can you believe it? Today, Knock It off turns THREE.
On March 26th, 2023, two sisters living in the ‘burbs of Florida released our very first piece, titled “It’s F.A.C.!” to introduce ourselves to the world. Share our humor vibe. Explain why we are the way that we are.
From there, we have journeyed through pieces on:
Childhood memories
* The orange tree that sparked a sister duel
* Sacagawea walks into a bank
Parenting vulnerabilities
* I want to remember...

Goodbye, Catherine
It doesn’t seem fair. On Friday, Catherine O’Hara passed away at the age of 71. We’re still reeling from the death of Diane Keaton in October last year, and now this. Both of these women served as our on-screen secondary mothers. Their untimely deaths, so close in time, hit hard.
Sure, Catherine was perhaps the most neglectful mother, twice accidentally leaving her fictional son alone while her family gallivanted the globe, but that’s part of what made her so . . . relatable. We found oddly familiar comfort each time she shrieked “KEVIN!!” as sheer terror took over upon th...
