On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.

It's just a love of efficiency, really. An enforcing of good manners, and why wouldn't you? A fight to gain needed services and accommodations for one's child, as any good Mama Bear would do. So why do people say “control freak” like it's a bad thing?

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Terri's shouting out our new weekend schedule (look for Second-Listen Saturdays and Speed Round Sundays in your feed). Catherine's counting on Google Scholar a lot these days, while Nicole's surfing OpenTable. Also mentioned: this citation generator, the Cite This for Me plug-in, and Nicole's book, Inclusion in Action! 

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

We have so much to be thankful for upon this Thanksgiving Day: College and job opportunities for our kids, each other, our dear listeners ... and GIFs. We love GIFs.

​We provide our kids with all the essentials, from electricity to staving off disaster with our constant worrying, and we get nothing but grief for our grief!

On Dancing with the Stars, we have a winner: Hannah Brown, who triumphed over the judges' barrage of 10s for Ally Brooke. Congratulations, Hannah (and her pro partner, Alan).

On The Good Place, "The Answer" was all about love, and we loved this beautiful episode centered on Chidi and his inevitable, timeless romance with Eleanor. Mentioned: Alan Sepinwall's recap at Rolling Stone.
​
Over on The West Wing, there's more love and romance as Josh and Donna finally acknowledge their years-long feelings--and the rest of the Santos campaign staffers pair up too.

Next week, we'll continue with West Wing's "Election Day, Part 2," and also watch the debut of season 2 of Making It, the Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman-hosted reality crafting show.

We’re kicking off a week of gratitude by extending thanks and shout-outs to all of those people who have helped make our parenting journey just a little easier, from spouses and grandparents to pediatricians and carpool buddies.

On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure. We’ll be back tomorrow with a brand-new episode.

Home TV screens are getting bigger, yet phone-size screens are more and more becoming the place our eyeballs soak up entertainment. We talked today about which screens we're most likely to watch TV and movies on—theatre? television? laptop? iPad? phone? Where are you doing your viewing? Comment here or on our Facebook page.

 On Second-Listen Saturday, we share some fun moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure.

Catherine was at a skating competition, biting her nails over whether her daughter would qualify to re-skate in a championship round ... because that would mean she'd have to miss her son’s choir concert (which is exactly what happened). We lament the dilemma of having to choose between two kids and their activities/events, and wish someone would get going with some cloning or time-travel tech to help us out. (Also mentioned: past podcasts on being two places at once and turning back time.)

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, we each shout out a handy-dandy delivery service. Catherine’s pick is WheresMySuitcase.com, Terri’s is Keurig, and Nicole's is DoorDash. 

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

It stinks for us moms when kids are discouraged and all the Band-aids and hugs in the world don't make things better. And since their discouragements are our discouragements, we experience contact trauma.
