8/30/2020

0 Comments

 
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure. ​

​Before there were computers and smartphones and fancy prefab fidget spinners, we kept ourselves distracted with ... taking apart pens. Peeling pencil paint. Unwinding paper clips. Doodling. So much doodling.

Parenting is hard no matter what age your kids are. This article calling out middle school as the toughest age to parent got us complaining about pretty much all the ages. Name an age or circumstance when parenting is easy!

What We’re Watching: Veronica Mars “One Angry Veronica” and “Donut Run”

8/25/2020

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, a double dose of Veronica Mars, although both episodes were useless in their own ways. "One Angry Veronica" did nothing for the season-long arc, and "Donut Run" was based on a faulty premise (although Terri's theory about how and why that happened makes a lot of sense). Mentioned: the Veronica Mars Investigations podcast; a teaser about Veronica joining the FBI; and the two Magic Mountains (amusement park and book by Thomas Mann).

0 Comments

 
Need to use a leash/harness/tether on your kid? No judgment here; two of us have done it. A tweet from Today's Parent magazine about kids being either barnacles or bolters prompted us to talk about which kind of kids we had (and which kind we were).
