Early Autumn 2017: Ring Them Bells
We’re moving into early autumn here in Brooklyn. The sky is still sunny, but there’s a crispness in the air that marks the inevitability of sweater weather (our favorite kind). But even as we thrill to the first hints of fall, we find ourselves reflecting fondly on the summer coming to a close. And at…

Early Summer 2017 Playlist: Hey, Ho, the Wind and the Rain
If we were back in Kentucky, summer would be upon us already. School would be out, the weather would be warmer, and the pools would be opening. But alas, we are not in our beloved home state, and while we’re happy to escape the influx of pollen and dander that the season brings, there are…

Winter 2017: Make a Brand New Start of It
A new year has dawned and, for maybe the first time, we both returned from our beloved Bluegrass State after a holiday break with that cozy, fuzzy feeling of going back home. Somehow, without either of us realizing it, this madhouse of a city wormed its way into our Southern hearts. And while our roots…

November Round Up
Where oh where has November gone? This year is on track to be the hottest on record, and the past month’s unseasonably warm climes left us discombobulated, and shocked when Thanksgiving and the subsequent holiday bonanza snuck up on us. Or maybe the reason November seemed to fly by is that it was a whirlwind…

October Playlist: Darker Than a Georgia Night With a Heavy Heart
We love October — the leaves crunching beneath our feet, the crisp air, the lattes, the onset of sweater weather. But our favorite bit of October? Halloween. October is the month of ghosts, of witches, of deals with the devil. The South in particular has a history with haunting, and so our soundtrack to this…

August Round Up, And A Few Changes
Hello lovelies! Welcome back. Our little blogcation was lovely, thanks, but we missed you terribly, and are thrilled to be diving into year two! A few housekeeping things before we get down to business. This past year has been wonderful; we’ve written a lot of posts we really cared about and enjoyed, we’ve told stories…

May Round Up
Oh May, you of the sunshine and storm clouds, with your 85 degree days and 45 degree nights getting us all discombobulated. This month started off with a bourbon-soaked bang and proceeded to fly by, full of visitors and job changes and the return of our favorite beer. Scout’s been filling her downtime filming a…

May Playlist: I Want to Be a Part of It
Music has a unique power to define a place or time for us, providing a soundtrack to a certain period in our lives or a place we used to know. There are bands and songs that take us back to childhood car rides or high school dances, late nights in a dorm room or unpacking…

No party is complete without an appropriate soundtrack. These are the songs that get us in the mood all Derby season long. From bluegrass and country classics to tunes with a modern twist (Didn’t know there were rap songs about Kentucky? You are welcome.). Whether they’re Kentucky specific or just oozing Southern charm, each track…
