Speed Round: Do You Read Advice Columns?

5/31/2018

0 Comments

 

People have problems, and they put up with way more than they ought to. That's what we've learned from reading advice columns like Dear Abby and Ask Amy and Carolyn Hax. It's a fun escape from our own infuriating family members and insensitive acquaintances.

Speed Round: How Often Do You Change Your Profile Picture?

5/30/2018

0 Comments

 

Nicole frequently cycles her profile, but Terri's more set-it-and-forget-it, and Catherine's got a go-to childhood photo that endears her to Skype callers.

Round 2: Trophy Wife, The West Wing Weekly, and Grey's Anatomy

5/29/2018

0 Comments

 

Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed podcast:

00:32 Trophy Wife: We're still laughing at this show every week, but we have some questions about the ads on the ABC app.

09:33 The West Wing Weekly: Instead of an episode of The West Wing and its accompanying podcast, we listened to a Very Special WWW featuring series creator Aaron Sorkin. Henceforth, the show is in new hands, and everyone has doubts.

14:26 Challenge Round: Grey's Anatomy: Terri challenged Catherine to watch the pilot of this show, which despite its many many seasons she had never managed to see. We're both all in for a medical show with strong female characters.

For next week, Catherine challenged Terri to watch the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. We'll also continue our Trophy Wife watch with episodes 14 and 15, "Foxed Lunch" and "Happy Bert Day." And we'll jump into season 5 of The West Wing with "7A WF 83429."

Episode 220: Mildly Peevish

5/28/2018

0 Comments

 

00:37 Shopping Shocker: You won't believe the article of clothing Catherine purchased for herself. 

09:48 Gentle Ranting: We tried to rant about our kids, but it didn't really work out. We reserve the right to try again at any time.

25:02 Speed Round: #MomBrags: These came much more easily!

31:26 Roundabout Roundup: Dansko shoes, Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day podcast, and energy granola and fruit-filled energy bars from Clif Bar.

36:33 Shameless Self-Promotion: Terri's new Patreon page, "12 Strategies to Engage Students Who Work Below Grade Level During Instructional Time," Catherine on Twitter.

Speed Round: Would You Get Another Pet?

5/25/2018

0 Comments

 

Nicole's getting some pressure to add a puppy to the family. Though we're pretty sure she's gonna cave, we talk about all the reasons why we should stand pat with the pets we have.

Speed Round: Does Your Pet Have Any Funny Habits or Irrational Fears?

5/24/2018

0 Comments

 

We've talked about our dogs plenty on this podcast, so consider this listing of their fears and desires and coffee-stealing habits more as a review than a revelation.

Speed Round: Have You Ever Been Bitten by an Animal?

5/23/2018

0 Comments

 

We have tales of being bit by dogs and monkeys and even bicycles, but we're not holding grudges. (If those lizards menacing Nicole ever do attack, though, they're dead to us.)

Round 2: Dancing with the Stars Finale, Trophy Wife, and The West Wing

5/22/2018

0 Comments

 

Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed podcast:

00:37 Dancing with the Stars Athletes: Nice try, DWTS, but this idea did not really work for us (we could have been convinced otherwise if Sharna had won the trophy).

10:21 Trophy Wife: This show consistently keeps us laughing, which we especially needed alongside this week's episode of The West Wing.

17:42 The West Wing: The season-four finale is a rough one, guys. Tissues mandatory.

For next week, we'll return to our challenge round: Terri challenged Catherine to watch the pilot of Grey's Anatomy. We'll also listen to The West Wing Weekly podcast's season-four retrospective (featuring Aaron Sorkin) and watch two more episodes of Trophy Wife: "The Punisher" and "The Tooth Fairy."

Episode 219: When Best Friends Are Banned

5/21/2018

0 Comments

 

00:32 Lake Fly Season: Keep your mouth closed and your umbrellas at the ready if you visit Catherine this week.

08:26 BFFN (Best Friends For Now): We react, with predictable skepticism, to a preschool that won't let kids use the term "best friend." Plus, how social media is actually good for kids' friendships.

34:53 Speed Round: Recent Texts: Some of the LOLs and "<3"s we get on our phones are from our kids, not our friends.

41:05 Roundabout Roundup: Just Crack an Egg, Good Habits app, Democracy jeans.

45:57 Shameless Self-Promotion: Nicole's book Inclusion in Action, "Got a Picky Eater?", this very podcast (star it! Review it! Share it with your friends!). 

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music. If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.

Speed Round: Beverage Choice Overload

5/18/2018

0 Comments

 

Nicole's encounter with a soda machine bearing many options she'd never heard of got us talking about what we get when we go to fill up our cups.
