What We’re Watching: Bridgerton “The Viscount Who Loved Me” and The Afterparty “Maggie”

5/31/2022

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed episode: The season finales of both our series! Bridgerton finally arrived at Kate and Anthony's happy ending, but there were quite unhappy endings for several other characters. We await season 3 with some trepidation, because of the Bridgerton boys' tendency to lunkheadedness (looking at you, Colin).

On The Afterparty, the mystery is finally solved, with the help of eyewitness testimony from little Maggie (Brett and Zoe's daughter). Did we figure it out before we were told? Nope, but we did enjoy the ride and will likely watch when the show returns for season 2.

Next: Season 2 of another show we enjoyed very much: Girls5Eva on Peacock. We'll watch two episodes a week, so first up are "Album Mode" and "Triumphant Return to the Studio."

The Japanese TV show Old Enough (available on Netflix) features teeny, tiny children going out in the world to run errands. It got us talking about how this would play in the U.S. (uh, it wouldn't). Mentioned: Saturday Night Live's spoof on the show.

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from March 2019.
​
​Today's obsession is sleep, and whether our kids are getting enough of it. Because when the kids aren't sleeping, neither are the mothers. It's quite the vicious cycle.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Catherine's shouting out Singo, a fun twist on Bingo. Nicole's Instagram Minute returns with @MenWiththePot. And Terri has a triumph of pack-ratting to shout out: Her state is now requiring the use of reusable bags, and she is ready.

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

Parent Ditch Day

5/26/2022

Last week's chat about senior skip day got us obsessing about what we'd do with a skip day of our own. What we really need is a way to peace out from parental worrying. Who's got that figured out?

What We’re Watching: Bridgerton “Harmony” and The Afterparty “Danner”

5/24/2022

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2: The Bridgertons and the Sharmas try to show their "Harmony" in the face of the ton's disdain, and it doesn't go well. Anthony and Kate get a brief moment of happiness, but it doesn't last because this isn't the final episode of the season. However, next week is: "The Viscount Who Loved Me."

On The Afterparty, we get Detective Danner's backstory this week, but we're still waiting to find out 1) who killed Xavier and 2) where is Jennifer 2 and 3) where is Jennifer 2's husband? It'll all get wrapped up next week: "Maggie."

Baby Formula Fears

0 Comments

 
While we are past (way past) the baby formula stage, we feel for the parents who are struggling to find what they need to feed their little ones. And we certainly know well the frustrating feeling of hearing advice from people who don't get it. Repeat after us: Every family is different! (And here's some real advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics for families who can't find infant formula.)
