What do restaurant birthday songs, college sports, fine china, shelter dogs, and political ads have in common? We have some thoughts.

This week on Here For All Of It, we're getting into the things we believe, the things we question, and a few opinions we're not afraid to stand behind. We talk about marriage, the pressure to have life figured out when you're young, taking a gap year, studying abroad, family businesses, and why getting older might just be more fun than we were led to believe.

We also get into good food, giving back, learning another language, and why you should stop saving the good dishes for "someday." Plus, Shannon makes a summer melon and cucumber salad while Tracy mixes up a "Tegroni."

This week, we're taking a trip back to school! From crossing guard badges and almost getting into schoolyard fights to brand-new shoes, lunch boxes, and the unmistakable smell of fresh pencils, we're reminiscing about the little things that made heading back to class so memorable. We laugh about layaway shopping, homemade clothes, decorating book covers, frozen bologna sandwiches, and the excitement of finding your teacher's name on the classroom window. We also share how differently we experienced school and the lessons that have stayed with us all these years. So, grab your favorite school snack and join us for a walk down memory lane. What's your favorite back-to-school memory?

What happens when you accidentally get a staycation? You make the most of it.

This week, we're sharing how coming home from New York a little earlier than planned turned into one of our favorite weekends. We explored Tulsa like tourists, spent quality time with Tracy's dad, tackled projects we've been putting off, and found joy in slowing down without ever leaving home. We also talk about why every couple should be intentional about avoiding the "roommate phase," celebrate an exciting milestone of 500,000 podcast downloads, and ask a simple question: if you had the perfect staycation, what would it look like? We'd love to hear your ideas.
