Roundabout Roundup: Monopoly Deal, Walker Hayes “Being a Dad and Missing Mine,” and Anigrams

3/31/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Nicole's discovered Monopoly Deal, a card game she says is a big improvement on the Monopoly board game. Terri's Country Music Minute returns with Walker Hayes' two-song set, "Being a Dad and Missing Mine." And Catherine's got another daily word game to recommend: Anigrams.
​

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

On today's episode, we're obsessing about those times (and tasks) that make us feel we're succeeding at our mom jobs. These can be rare, so we have to recognize them when they happen.

Is Oversharing Bad Parenting?

3/29/2023

0 Comments

 
A survey that accused parents--especially Gen-X ones, like Nicole and Catherine--of oversharing about their kids on social media got us complaining. Not about oversharing, but about how parents just can't win. Mentioned: Some of the moms we follow on Instagram, like Gabrielle Blair, Witney Carson, and Lindsay Arnold.

What We’re Watching: Shrinking “Closure” and Brothers and Sisters “Grapes of Wrath”

3/28/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we came to the end of Shrinking's first season with "Closure." While it did tie up many loose ends, it then created a giant problem to deal with in season 2. While we're not thrilled with that, we'll definitely be back to see what happens.

​Brothers and Sisters, too, is careening toward the end of season 1, with everything from a stolen kiss to a food fight to an imminent premature birth. Next: S1 E22, "Favorite Son." And since Shrinking is done for now, we'll move to another Bill Lawrence/Brett Goldstein project: Ted Lasso, which is back for a third season. We'll catch up with the two episodes that have aired so far, "Smells Like Mean Spirit" and "(I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea." and the one that drops tomorrow, "4-5-1."

Second-Listen Saturday: Milestones for Adults

3/25/2023

0 Comments

 
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from July 2019.
​
We talk about this survey of major milestones, and question how big of a milestone "learn how to iron" really is. Along the way, we get a peek at some of our dark secrets (like the real reason Terri learned how to ride a bike, and the anti-vampire dinner party Catherine held).

Here We Go Again: Old-Timey Technology

3/24/2023

0 Comments

 
With Nicole dealing with the aftermath of the Lily Collins Facebook hack, we're taking the week off to revisit some tech talks, complaints, and obsessions of the past. This discussion is from November 2022. 

​Nicole gave up her landline phones, which got us talking about what tech our households are hanging on to and what we're giving up (and which one of us was a teen princess with her own phone line).

Here We Go Again: Would You Do a Digital Detox?

3/23/2023

0 Comments

 
With Nicole dealing with the aftermath of the Lily Collins Facebook hack, we're taking the week off to revisit some tech talks, complaints, and obsessions of the past. This discussion is from March 2021.

We obsess about Reviews.org's offer of cash in exchange for a digital detox (no phones, TVs, computers, video games, smart devices). We think $2,400 is a pretty nice sum for a 24-hour-long nap.
