On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: If your Instagram feed is baby-deficient, Terri has the solution: Follow Dancing with the Stars pros Lindsay Arnold and Witney Carson. Nicole is enjoying her new Apple Watch (even if it does nag her to exercise). Catherine's Cards with a Cause collection, purchased via a fundraiser, has come in very handy.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

After reading this New York Times article about parents and kids taking classes and learning new skills together, we obsessed about what we might try to master alongside our offspring. Nicole is hoping someone offers a course on concert-going.
A New York Times article about the cognitive labor that moms do (like anticipating problems and worrying about them until they're done) had us nodding vigorously in agreement. Mentioned: Research on the topic by Allison Daminger.
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist was off, so we took on two episodes of Veronica Mars, season 3: "I Know What You'll Do This Summer" and "Weevils Wobble But They Don't Go Down." Veronica solves two cases-of-the-week and we also hit the plot point Terri's been dreading: A sex tape starring Veronica and ... Piz?!
Next week: We close out season 3 with "The Bitch Is Back," and the accompanying episodes of the Veronica Mars Investigations podcast (for this episode, and the whole season); and we cleanse our palate with "Zoey's Extraordinary Double Date."
Jumping off an article on Grown and Flown, we talk about how we were grandparented, how our kids were, and how our kids' kids will be when it's our turn. You'll hear about it on our spin-off podcast!
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
With Terri's bathroom finally finished (yay!), she's thinking of which disaster in her home will move to the front of the line. Catherine and Nicole don't have to think very hard to imagine their next project either. The joys of home ownership.
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.
We tried to rant about our kids, but it didn't really work out. We reserve the right to try again at any time. Want more? Listen to the rest of this May 2018 episode.
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Nicole is keeping an eye on the sky with the Storm Radar app, while Catherine suggests My Mochi for a bite-sized ice-cream treat. And our resident Swiftie, Terri, is happy to be listening to "Fearless (Taylor's Version)."
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
We continue to obsess about the pandemic and its effects on kids. Today, we appreciate this New York Times article that encourages parents to praise teens for being so flexible and resilient for the past 13 months.
Prompted by a discussion on the Bobby Bones Show, we ask whether our kids have a right to privacy. If you know they have a diary, are you going to bust into that bad boy with a paper clip?
