Cheers to 3 Years, Knockers!
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 bankParenting vulnerabilities* I want to remember you this way* Mean girls are out* Walking the tightropeParenting humor* Congratulations, you are our mystery reader!* How to survive the weekend kid birthday circuitTravel adventures* We are going to Chicago* 15 American observations following a 7-day adventure to England with children* What to expect on an Everglades airboat tour* Our unwitting visit to the haunted Driskill hotelCultural trends* Charcuterie: the ultimate party flex (our most popular post to date?)* The Stanley tumbler* Dorm makeover madness (why didn’t this get more traction?)Hair tutorials and nightmares* You gotta put some mousse on it* Bleach leakHow to turn 40* The strange thing that happens when you turn 40* Not ‘Just Another Birthday’Marriage Advice* You won’t believe these romantic texts from our husbands!* Life’s a kayak — get in* Who is this new guy at my gym?Movie / Documentary dissections* A big flaw in ‘Father of the bride’?* Are we being catfished by ‘Unknown number’?* Movie review: Mixed nutsClearly, we run the gamut.

(12/21/25 - live audience consisting of our mother and her bestie, SHEEZ)Put Her on a Leash (1/19/26) - special guest Eileen PitcockStay tuned for our next unscripted convo, further commemorating this historical event.From F.A.C. to “I love your shoes!” our hard knockers have showed up time and time again, ready at attention.
