Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode: 00:39 Dancing with the Stars: Trio Night ends on a downbeat note, with excellent dancer Tinashe going home and Grocery Store Joe... not going home. Mentioned: This adorable number from Nastia Liukin and Sasha, and Jordan Fisher's trio performance. 09:50 DWTS Juniors: We are already predicting a buddy comedy for two of the aspiring dancers, because their charm is off the charts. 15:56 The Good Place: In "The Snowplow," time is flying for the humans on Earth, and we feel like we missed out on some of the good stuff. 24:46 The West Wing: About season 5's "Access," the less said the better. Moving on! For next week, we'll watch the next episodes of DWTS (Original Flavor and Juniors), and The Good Place. But we're skipping The West Wing in order to stay coordinated with The West Wing Weekly podcast, which is taking a week off. 00:32 Sanitation Situation: People in Catherine's town have big thoughts and feelings about garbage and recycling bins. 07:04 Meet the Teachers: 'Tis the season for parent-teacher conferences. With many (many, many) meetings in our pasts, we have advice for making them work for you and your kid. 28:14 Speed Round: Parental Controls: You can password-protect the cable box and the router, but how about the linen closet and pantry? 38:23 Roundabout Roundup: Uber Eats; "Classroom-Friendly Fidgets" on How to ADHD's YouTube channel; Terri's Twitter reports from the recent Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo. 42:58 Shameless Self-Promotion: The Inclusive Class on Twitter; the podcast on Instagram; Terri's resources for parent-teacher conferences and other school meetings. 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. Songs and shows from our youth, and the tappity-tap of an old-timey typewriter, bring back beautiful memories. Open-concept homes may be all the rage, but at least one of us has a dedicated dining space—sometimes even used for meals! Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode: 00:36 Dancing with the Stars: This season's was a surprisingly upbeat edition of My Most Memorable Year, with fewer sob stories and more enjoyable dances. 15:22 DWTS Juniors: Terri reports on the junior dancers, who deliver an entertaining and positive show. 23:34 The Good Place: We get to see Team Cockroach reunited (yay!) but also infiltrated by a demon wielding lemon bars and novelty sweatshirts (boo!). Next up: "The Snowplow." 31:15 The West Wing: Finally, it's "The Supremes," an episode that does indeed live up to the hype surrounding it. Next time, everything comes crashing down again in "Access." For next week, we'll watch the next episode of each of these shows. 00:31 Hospital Stay: Nicole gives an update on a hospital visit that kept her from podcasting last week. 07:15 The Fill-in-the-Blank Parent: First it was tiger moms, then helicopter parents, then lawnmower parents and even elephant parents. Well, we can come up with click-baity parenting "styles" too! 21:48 Speed Round: Sibling Sharing: Sometimes a brother or sister makes the best teacher (and hey, that's one less thing for mom and dad to do). 30:52 Roundabout Roundup: Nicole's liking ASMR videos, while Terri enjoyed the audiobook edition of Amy Poehler's Yes Please and Catherine is raising money with HuTerra. 35:04 Shameless Self-Promotion: Nicole's site, The Inclusive Class; Terri's gift coupons for teachers; and Catherine says: Why not send this podcast to a friend? 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. Inspired by this post at Go Fug Yourself, we tell our tales of finding weird (sometimes disturbing!) items. When it comes to our clothing choices, are we bold and bright or solid and simple? (Or "whatever hides the dirt"?) |
