On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Terri recommends the Good Sudoku app if you're looking to play that unpronounceable game on your phone. Nicole had a happy customer-service experience with Delta Faucet. And Catherine and her family immersed themselves in Beyond Van Gogh; see if it's coming to your city in this rundown at ArtNet.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
After last week's rant about toxic parenting advice, we thought we should put our money where our mouths are and share advice that actually did work for us (and doesn't shame you for doing the wrong thing). Of course, YMMV!
A tweet from author Holly Bourne lamenting societal pressure to sleep, eat, walk, meditate, care for our homes and more every single day got us complaining about the pressures we feel, especially as moms--since we have to cover that whole to-do list plus parent our children.
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, the mega-craft returned to Making It, along with a new project called the procrasti-craft. And we said goodbye to Baseball Blake, whose extremely cool origami door could not save him from a hanging chair that couldn't quite hang.
We also said goodbye to Veronica Mars season 4 with "Years, Continents, Bloodshed" (title drawn from this season 2 scene). We knew what was coming and we are still annoyed. Next: We will return to Veronica Mars in a few weeks after the Veronica Mars Investigations podcast drops their wrap-up episodes. In the interim, we will continue with Making It and, in a tribute to the best season of Veronica Mars (that'd be #1) and its many flashbacks, we'll flash back to a movie from 1998: Practical Magic.
After last week's mention of summer camp for kids, we started dreaming about the amenities we'd like to see at mom camp. Let us know if there's one out there that offers robot butlers, doctors on call, and hot tubs for everyone. Mentioned: The luxury suites aboard the Queen Mary, featured in the movie Let Them All Talk.
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.
It's dry-skin season, at least for the two non-Californians among us, and that means either disgusting greasy lotion stickiness or constant itching. Terri's hoping for some go-to moisturizer tips. Maybe you have some? Help out in the comments. Mentioned: Gold Bond, Kiehl's, CeraVe, our episode on habits.

Too old to fail, but too young to make smart decisions: That's the pickle we find ourselves in as our kids grow up and have to make life-determining choices. Want more? Listen to the rest of this September 2018 episode.
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine's curly-hair journey continues; she's now acquired a Kitsch microfiber towel, which makes a fetching hair-drying turban. Nicole's Instagram Minute is back with @samir, for celebrity home snooping (we mean, shopping). Terri is enjoying Apple's bundling service, Apple One, and even reassures you that if you sign up, Apple will do the right thing by pro-rating your bills.

A recent conversation on The Bobby Bones Show got us obsessing: What would we do if one of our kids' teenage friends showed up at our house dressed inappropriately? First we obsessed over defining "inappropriate." Then we pondered what our house rules are. And finally, we wrung our hands at the thought of confronting a kid, no matter what they were wearing.
