Speed Round: Are There Foods You Limit to Certain Seasons or Occasions?

9/19/2017

0 Comments

 

Is it weird to eat hamburgers on a random Wednesday instead of at a cookout? Do you ever put a turkey with the trimmings on the table outside of Thanksgiving? We chat about the way certain foods get attached to certain times.

9/18/2017

0 Comments

 

The school year has started, and soon kids will be bringing fundraising catalogs home from school for our perusal. We chat about whether we're eager to buy candles for a cause, or have all the scented wax we can stand, thanks.

Episode 186: Our Canine Kids

9/15/2017

0 Comments

 

00:31 Reno Report: Terri's master bath is getting a makeover, and we get a progress report (there is some!).

07:57 Pupper Parenting: We recount just a few of the many ways that caring for our pets is remarkably like caring for our kids. For example, we feel like we're not that good at it.

32:14 Friday Speed Round: Family Conversations: Hey, another thing we're not that great at!

39:01 Interview of the Week: Terri chats with Robert Rummel-Hudson, author of Schuyler's Monster and blogger at Support for Special Needs, about small victories that can feel pretty big.

51:18 Shameless Self-Promotion: Our Emmys live-tweet (the correct hashtag is #EmmysPRP); You Don't Think You Are an Inclusion Teacher? Think Again; and 11 Words and Phrases Smart People Never, Ever Use.

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: What Animal Are You Most Afraid Of?

Following up on yesterday's chat about zoo animals we love, we talk about animals we're somewhat less fond of (that is, hiding from right now).

We're talking about our fave koalas and pandas and trained seals, and Nicole's dog is eating noisily in the background to represent for domesticated critters.

Cringe with us as we recall labor without drugs. Mighty migraines. Gum surgery. And strep toe.

Round 2: Here Comes Dancing with the Stars (and Lots More)

9/12/2017

0 Comments

 

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

00:40 Dancing with the Stars: We preview the stars (or "stars") who'll appear this season. We'll be watching, so check back every Tuesday for our recap.

07:55 John from Cincinnati: The last two episodes meant plenty of surfing, levitation, f-bombs, and general weirdness ... but not quite a satisfying finish to this series, at least for Catherine.

13:30 The West Wing: In "The Black Vera Wang," Sam makes a dumb move and Donna is out $200. But at least we have the Simon-C.J. rom-com to enjoy.

22:56 Challenge Round: Pushing Daisies: After watching Amelie (last week's challenge), Terri picked Pushing Daisies as a perfect follow-up. It's delightfully charming and quirky, and there's pie! After failing to tempt Terri with the audiobooks of Harry Potter (featuring Daisies narrator Jim Dale as the reader) for our next challenge, Catherine selected Grand Designs on Netflix instead (season 11, episode 1, "South Yorkshire").   

Next week, we'll cover that, along with the DWTS premiere, The West Wing's "We Killed Yamamoto," and the Emmy Awards!

Episode 185: Apples, Oranges, and Sibling Jealousy

9/8/2017

0 Comments

 

00:31 Aloha: Speaking of jealousy, Nicole and Terri are feeling a few pangs over Catherine's Christmas plans.

07:15 Sibling Jealousy: Forget "growing out of it." We think it might take a lifetime for kids to adjust to the fundamental unfairness of having a sibling. Mentioned: This article on little kids and jealousy and this image of inclusion.

22:00 Friday Speed Round: Homework Help: It's usually unfair to teachers to blow off homework. But you can find a way to make it work better for your child. Mentioned: Our interview with Meghan Corridan in episode 182.

31:05 Roundabout Roundup: Nicole is laughing at the WTForecast app, Catherine is remembering The Big Sick fondly, and Terri is keeping things holy with a rosary app like these. Also mentioned: Laudate and this missal app that Terri couldn't remember the name of.

36:48 Shameless Self-Promotion: Mothers with Attitude, The Inclusive Class, and Scaredy-Babes: An Age-by-Age Look at What Frightens Tots and How You Can Help.
