It's that time of the year: Replay time, because we were unable to record new speed rounds for this week. But maybe this one is new to you!

For those with petite closets and serious weather shifts, it's time for the T-shirts and shorts to go away and the sweaters and long pants to emerge. No need for that in your life? Know that Terri is super-jealous.

Round 2: Dancing with the Stars Juniors and The West Wing Weekly

11/27/2018

0 Comments

 

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

00:35 Dancing with the Stars Juniors: We've now divided the field into Big Kids and Littles, and guess what? We're rooting for the little guys.

09:08 The West Wing Weekly podcast: Instead of watching an episode of The West Wing and then listening to a discussion of it on the WWW podcast, this week we enjoyed a special WWW devoted to the connections between West Wing and another of our all-time favorite TV shows, Parks & Recreation. Mentioned: This funny video of Rob Lowe pretending to be a real ash-hole (as they say on The Good Place; the video is filled with real-live swears, just FYI).

Cyber Monday Replay: Force of Habit

11/26/2018

0 Comments

 

What with all the traveling, cooking, and eating last week, we could not record a new episode. So please enjoy this serving of leftovers from November 2017. We'll have a new Round 2 for you tomorrow.

01:09 Cyber Monday Shopping: Will we be proactive about replacing things that are about to break or just keep clinging to them because we fear change?

08:18 Make It a Habit: We have a checkered history when it comes to habit-forming. Does it count if we're good at creating the same good habits over and over again?

23:12 Monday Speed Round: We Can't Remember: What was it we were going to talk about? It must be written down here somewhere. (Mentioned: Google Inbox's snooze feature.)

30:44 Roundabout Roundup: Catherine is using dinner prep kits from her local supermarket, while Nicole is using Instacart to have the market come to her. And Terri's feeling productive with the Tide app.

36:20 Shameless Self-Promotion: Preschoolers' Fears Explained; pre-order Nicole's book at Brookes Publishing and save 10% with the code Eredics; fun and shareable quotes from the podcast on Facebook.

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.
