On this Independence Day, we talk about declaring our independence from holiday rituals and traditions that don't work for our families. Like, you know, fireworks (loud! flashy! lots of waiting around! No thanks).

On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
Catherine and Terri ponder whether they prefer trying out new TV, movies, and books or revisiting beloved favorites. Doesn't help that it's never been easier to find that old stuff, or just watch memorable scenes on YouTube over and over and over again.
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from April 2019.
Thanks to this roundup of campaign slogans from moms, we brainstormed our own (Nicole had a little help from SloganGenerator.org) before deciding we probably—no, definitely—do not want any job we'd have to campaign for.
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Catherine shouts out Shout--specifically, Shout Color Catchers. These dye-trapping sheets will save your red-and-white clothes from a pink future. Terri's recommending a cute children's book from her fave Bobby Bones, starring his bulldog Stanley.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
Terri's family recently said a sad goodbye to their 21-year-old Jeep. Yet they shed nary a tear over the loss of a similarly dependable and long-tenured toaster. So we obsessed about what makes some objects meaningful, while others can be kicked to the curb without a second thought. Mentioned: The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park, where you can visit cool objects like old-fashioned typewriters.
Wall Street Journal columnist Julie Jargon reeled us right in with a story titled "Moms are struggling with burnout. Is it more work to let dads help?." That headline was all we needed to share our own rants about the division of labor in our homes.
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2: Girls5Eva season 2 ends with a knock-down, drag-out fight between two unlikely characters, and it's a joy to behold (and is being added to "Janet Kicks Some Demon Butt" on Terri's fire-me-up playlist. This show is a delight and we're in for season 3 if there is one. Mentioned: Interviews with Renee Elise Goldsberry to read and listen to.
Next: Another show we enjoyed is back for season 2: Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. We'll start with the first episode, "Persons of Interest."
Dancing With the Stars pro Sharna Burgess recently did a sexy maternity photo shoot, so that got us talking about whether we'd ever want to do the same (uh, no) and what other milestones should be commemorated by a professional with a big camera. (And if you want to hear Catherine talk about her super non-sexy pregnancy rash, that episode is here.)
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
Nicole brought to our attention an article about American Dream Miami, soon to be the biggest mall in America, but not exactly our dream of the perfect mall. We'd skip the amusement park rides and ice-climbing wall and focus on things like roaming nail technicians, golf carts, and the ability to shop in peace. (Mentioned: Mall of America, West Edmonton Mall, and American Dream Meadowlands, coming soon to Terri's neighborhood, yikes.)
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from March 2019.
Today, true confessions about obsessions: Not ours, but those of our husbands. Catherine's and Nicole's partners are kindred spirits with a similar level of extra-ness when it comes to kitchen gadgets. Terri's, meanwhile, is happy with an old TV show—but he needs to watch every single one, thank you very much. |
