Second-Listen Saturday: Decisions, Decisions

12/28/2019

0 Comments

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

We lament the fact that we have to make all the decisions in our families, at least partly because we won't let anyone else do it. Well, two of us handle decision-making that way — find out which of us has discovered the blissful state of decision freedom. You'll also learn about Nicole's Mexican-food ordering strategy and why Catherine does the laundry in her kitchen (see photos).

Anxiety-Fighting Foods

12/26/2019

0 Comments

 
According to an article in US News and World Report, eating foods including salmon, chickpeas, watercress, and sauerkraut could help soothe anxiety and stress. We note that chocolate, cookies, and Cheez-its seem to work equally well. At the very least, they don't add stress. Mentioned: Jameela Jamil on Justin Long's podcast, Life is Short.

(Never) Home Alone

12/23/2019

Home Alone may be a hit holiday movie, but in our homes, the kids definitely want (or need) company, with one notable exception. A survey of social workers says 12 is the magic age. We say one size never fits all. Mentioned: Parenting horror movies we made up, and a terrifying real one starring Sally Field.
