Halloween Hassles

10/30/2019

Today we reveal ourselves to be, on the whole, Scrooges when it comes to Halloween—at least the answering-the-door-for trick-or-treaters part. Not the eating candy part, though.

What We’re Watching: DWTS Halloween Night, Good Place “Employee of the Bearimy” and West Wing “The Cold”

10/29/2019

0 Comments

 
On Dancing with the Stars, Halloween Night gave the hair and makeup folks license to go even crazier than usual, and group dances meant a heroic performance from Kate Flannery as the sole female star on her team. Next week: Dance-Offs.

On The Good Place, we take a quick detour to the Bad Place as Michael and Jason rescue Janet from captivity, while Tahani undergoes an existential crisis regarding party hostessing. Next week: "A Chip Driver Mystery." Mentioned: The Good Place podcast.

On The West Wing, the episode of the week is technically called "The Cold" due to candidate Arnie Vinick's case of the sniffles. But it really should have been called "The Kiss" after the one that kicks off the episode (the one that fans have waited seven years for). Next week, we'll skip watching an episode in order to stay aligned with the West Wing Weekly podcast.

Parenting "Would You Rather"

10/28/2019

0 Comments

 
Buzzfeed posed a series of Would You Rather questions on parenting topics to Jimmy Fallon. This is right in our wheelhouse, so we challenged each other to some tricky "this or that" queries. Mentioned: This "ghost baby" viral post.

Roundabout Roundup: Lenovo Yoga, Blundstone Boots, and Stegmann Clogs

10/25/2019

0 Comments

 
On this week's Roundabout Roundup: Catherine finally (finally, finally) got a new laptop: A Lenovo Yoga 730. Nicole recommends Blundstone boots for rainy weather (Terri also likes Bogs), and continuing the footwear theme, Terri shouts out Stegmann clogs.

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

What We Look for in Our Kids' Friends

10/24/2019

How much influence can, and should, and did, we have over our kids' social lives and choices? Like everything else in parenting, there's never an easy answer.

Birthday Gift Grief

10/23/2019

0 Comments

 
Should "fiver" birthday parties replace the old-fashioned kind, where kids get 20 gifts of wildly varying desirability, appropriateness, and cost? Two out of three of your podcast hosts say yes. Mentioned: A discussion of birthday parties on Bobby Bones's radio show.

What We’re Watching: DWTS Week 6, Good Place “Tinker, Tailor, Demon, Spy” and West Wing “Duck and Cover”

10/22/2019

0 Comments

 
This week's Dancing with the Stars mystery theme turned out to be "80s Tunes and Uncontrollable Sobbing," so that was fun. Our rooting interests are still hanging in there, so we'll be back for next week's Halloween Night.

On The Good Place, Terri's hunch was proven correct as a Bad Place spy was outed! Next week: "Employee of the Bearimy."

On The West Wing, we enjoyed a snappy procedural episode, even if it was about a looming nuclear disaster. Mentioned: "Atomic Tattoos" on 99% Invisible (on how ducking and covering might actually be a decent strategy). Next: "The Cold."

Parenting Responsibility Relieved

10/21/2019

0 Comments

 
As this blog post from Swistle so rightly points out, there are some kid milestones that are accompanied by a huge sigh of parental relief. Of course, knowing us, you will not be surprised to learn that sometimes we're just sighing.
