There's a nostalgic tug that keeps us from throwing away those toys our kids outgrew ... and also a sharp memory of how much money we paid for that stuff. Let's just go with the sentimental angle, shall we?

Speed-Round Sunday: Do You Keep Your Kids' Old Toys?

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine's curly-hair journey continues; she's now acquired a Kitsch microfiber towel [https://mykitsch.com/collections/microfiber-towels], which makes a fetching hair-drying turban. Nicole's Instagram Minute is back with @samir [https://www.instagram.com/samir/], for celebrity home snooping (we mean, shopping). Terri is enjoying Apple's bundling service, Apple One [https://www.apple.com/apple-one/], and even reassures you that if you sign up, Apple will do the right thing by pro-rating your bills.

Roundabout Roundup: Kitsch Microfiber Hair Towel, Samir on Instagram, and Apple One

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Nicole shouts out The Hat restaurant [https://www.thehat.com/], which helped her time-travel back to her teenage days. Terri discovered a handy new iPhone trick, thanks to Macworld magazine [https://www.macworld.com/article/353078/spotlight-iphone-ios-15.html]. And Catherine's enjoying "You Shine," a sweet love song from Carrie the musical (yes, it is based on the horror movie [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BreR8sxaNCA]).

Roundabout Roundup: The Hat Restaurant, iPhone Spotlight, and “You Shine”

Inspired by a recent episode of Only Murders in the Building, we're obsessing about how far might go to fix things for our kids. While we wouldn't send someone else to prison in their place, sometimes there's a fine line between advocacy and interference.

How Far Would You Go to Help Your Kid?

Since our offspring grew up in the olden days before kids' podcasts were a thing (and neither were moms' podcasts), we talk about what shows they would have been into--or the messages we'd have wanted to deliver via podcast. Mentioned: The Wondery network's podcasts for kids [https://wondery.com/genre/kids-family/].

Podcasts for Our Kids

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Terri's listening to Walker Hayes' new song, "AA," on repeat [https://youtu.be/hp6T14iP2C4]. Nicole cleaned up a big mess with her O-Cedar EasyWring Spin Mop [https://www.target.com/p/o-cedar-easywring-spin-mop-and-bucket-system/-/A-50335649#lnk=sametab]. And Catherine's shouting out Rocket Fizz [https://rocketfizz.com/], a candy store where you can buy mushroom-flavored candy canes, pickle cotton candy, and ranch-dressing soda (along with actually good candy and other treats).

Roundabout Roundup: Walker Hayes ‘AA,’ O-Cedar EasyWring Spin Mop, Rocket Fizz

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we kick off season 2 of Ted Lasso with "Goodbye Earl" and "Lavender." We're fans of the extremely capable Dr. Sharon Fieldstone, and can't wait to see what she has in store for Jamie Tartt. Also, Terri apologizes for saying "soccer" throughout when she should have been saying "football." She trusts Ted will understand. Next week: "Do the Right-est Thing" and "Carol of the Bells" (how seasonal!). Mentioned: "Goodbye Earl" from The Chicks [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw7gNf_9njs].

What We’re Watching: Ted Lasso “Goodbye Earl” and “Lavender”

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Catherine enjoyed a novel by Ann Patchett, The Dutch House (and the audiobook narrated by Tom Hanks) [http://www.annpatchett.com/the-dutch-house]. Nicole suggests an alternative cat littler, Okocat Natural Wood Clumping Litter [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00U0OVT9M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]. And Terri found a resource for browsing small businesses owned by veterans, active-duty military, reservists, and their spouses: The Buy Military-Owned Guide from Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families [https://ivmf.syracuse.edu/buy-military-owned].

Roundabout Roundup: The Dutch House, Okocat Natural Wood Clumping Litter, and Buy Military-Owned Guide

From the West Coast to the East Coast, from the suburbs to the sprawl, we shout out some cities we've loved or liked or had mixed feelings about. It's complicated.​

Speed-Round Sunday: What’s Your Favorite US City?

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Nicole had us all drooling over the Baskin-Robbins Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Layered Sundae [https://order.baskinrobbins.com/menu-details/reese-s-peanut-butter-cup-layered-sundae?id=95ea2b0c-3e7f-41b2-bda4-5f218f60d25e&sizes=%5B%5D]. Catherine went practical with her pick for KN95 masks from Bona Fide Masks [https://bonafidemasks.com/face-masks/kn95-respirators/]. And Terri went cozy with a fleece blanket from L.L. Bean [https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/121749?page=polar-fleece-blanket-full-queen&bc=&feat=blanket-SR0&csp=a&searchTerm=blanket&pos=3].

Roundabout Roundup: Baskin-Robbins Peanut Butter Cup Layered Sundae, Bona Fide Masks, and L.L. Bean Fleece Blanket

We've talked about our dogs plenty on this podcast, so consider this listing of their fears and desires and coffee-stealing habits more as a review than a revelation.

Speed Round Sunday: Does Your Pet Have Any Funny Habits or Irrational Fears?

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Nicole shocks us all by enjoying salad: Taylor Farms Chopped Kits [https://www.taylorfarms.com/chopped-kits/]. Catherine also suggests a tasty bite: KIND Frozen treat bars [https://www.kindsnacks.com/frozen-treat-bars/]. And remember last week, when Catherine recommended Puffs the play [https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/roundabout-roundup-puffs-the-play-fancii-desk-fan-and-thedad]? This week, Terri's shouting out the other Puffs (the kind you blow your nose in) for handling an allergy attack with tender loving care [https://puffs.com/en-us/shop-products/lotion-tissue/puffs-plus-lotion].

Roundabout Roundup: Taylor Farms Chopped Kits, Puffs Plus Lotion, and KIND Frozen Treat Bars

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we return to an old favorite: Girls5Eva, which is back for season 2. It's just as goofy and fun the second time around, as the girls are trying to get back in the game with a new record deal. Next week: Episode 3, "Who U Know," and 4, "Can't Wait 2 Wait."

What We’re Watching: Girls5Eva “Album Mode” and “Triumphant Return to the Studio”

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, we're all about the tea. Terri's drinking a delicious chamomile blend from Gold River Trading Company [https://goldriverco.com/products/tea-bags?variant=42900815577316], and Catherine's listening to Normal Gossip [https://defector.com/introducing-normal-gossip-a-podcast-where-we-will-gossip-as-a-treat/], a podcast that spills the tea on people she's never met. It's surprisingly satisfying!

Roundabout Roundup: Gold River Trading Co. Chamomile Tea and the Normal Gossip Podcast

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, Only Murders in the Building gives us a deep dive into murder victim Bunny Folger, making her much more sympathetic than she's been up to this point. Next: S2E4, "Here's Looking at You."

We also kicked off a watch of Rutherford Falls, a sitcom streaming on Peacock. While its second season is already out, we're starting at the beginning with season 1, episode 1, the pilot. While we're not, as yet, convinced that this is the show that can fill the Parks and Rec hole in our life, everyone involved is talented, especially lead actress Jana Schmieding, so we're going to keep going. Next: S1E2, "Buckheart Lodge."

What We’re Watching: Only Murders in the Building “The Last Day of Bunny Folger” and Rutherford Falls “Pilot”

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, we are here to entertain you with a song and a show. First up, the most recent single from Walker Hayes, "Y'all Life," is a catchy ode to life in the south, complete with cute video [https://youtu.be/zYw4xdlj2SQ]. And Julia, on HBO Max [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10975574/], is an ode to Julia Child and her public TV cooking show, The French Chef.

Roundabout Roundup: Walker Hayes “Y’all Life” and Julia on HBO

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, miscellaneous clues are scattering like glitter or cat hair on Only Murders in the Building. We suspect they will need a lint roller to clear everything up in the two remaining episodes. Mentioned: WhoKilledBunny.com. Next: Season 2, episode 9, "Sparring Partners."

On Rutherford Falls, Reagan manages to create a meaningful museum exhibit out of a hodge-podge of donated items, and Terry Thomas dismantles the baby lawyer that Rutherford. Inc. sends to negotiate with him. Next: Season 1, episode 7, "Rutherford, Inc."

What We’re Watching: Only Murders in the Building “Hello, Darkness” and Rutherford Falls “Negotiations”

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we wrapped up season one of Rutherford Falls with episode 9, "Stoodis," and episode 10, "D'Angelos." These were an improvement over episode 8, although they returned to the well of Nathan having a tantrum and Reagan trying once again to get herself back into the good graces of the Minishonka community. (Mentioned: Elizabethtown [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368709/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1].)

We'll come back for season 2 mostly for Reagan and Terry Thomas. Next: Season 2, Episode 2, "White Man in the Cupboard." We'll also check out Dancing With the Stars's first episode on Disney Plus, a preseason special called "The Pros' Most Memorable Dances" ([https://abc.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars/news/updates/watch-dancing-with-the-stars-the-pros-most-memorable-dances-disney-plus-day-2022], September 8).

What We’re Watching: Rutherford Falls “Stoodis” and “D’Angelos”

It's time to return to the urgent question of most recent photos on our phones [https://www.spreaker.com/episode/18922795], and this crop is more exciting than last time: A memorable souvenir, a nimbler-than-expected dog, and some possibly illegal activity.

Speed-Round Sunday: The Last Photo You Took

Forget the running playlist, the breakup playlist, and the poolside playlist. We have some other ideas for songs to live by.

Speed-Round Sunday: What Kind of Playlist Do You Need?

An Instagram post from the Just Girl Project [https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjst166rqn0/] got us obsessing about self-care, the 5 love languages, and what happens when you mash them up together. Let's just say that some of us love ourselves, and self-care [https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/the-self-care-struggle], a lot more than others.

What Is Your Self-Care Love Language?

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Terri's Walker Hayes Minute returns with a recommendation for Hayes's new song "Face in the Crowd" (and its video [https://youtu.be/SZ523NEhnhM]). Nicole is embracing the practicality of a sturdy rolling crate [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0798J37V7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details], and Catherine appreciates the reassuring messages from @bigtimeadulting on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/bigtimeadulting/].

Roundabout Roundup: Walker Hayes “Face in the Crowd,” Quik Cart Rolling Crate, and Big Time Adulting

An article on https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-04-04/baby-first-aid-kit-the-15-items-you-really-need got us talking about essentials for bigger kids: We've traded the nasal aspirator and the tiny medicine droppers for https://www.kttape.com/ and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8820850/ (but two of us can't seem to keep un-expired over-the-counter meds in stock).

The Family Medicine Chest

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from August 2019.
​
On today's episode, we compare and contrast our own weddings with those of the Kids Today, with their barn venues and their candy buffets and their gender-switched wedding parties. Mentioned: This https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/im-a-barn-and-i-dont-want-to-host-your-wedding from a barn that would prefer not to host your Pinterest wedding, thanks anyway.

Second-Listen Saturday: Weddings Past, Present, and Future

An https://youtu.be/4qBZqIkuDU0 that highlighted all the ways parents might damage their kids (as in the Philip Larkin poem Mae quotes, "https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48419/this-be-the-verse") got us obsessing about what our kids might say to us about their upbringing, and the beefs we still have with our own parents.

They Mess You Up, Your Mum and Dad

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Nicole found some https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096Y8W9FP?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details that are perfect for Palm Springs. Terri found an unusual use for a https://www.thesprucepets.com/best-dog-bandanas-4776439. And Catherine found a special treat at Costco: https://www.thekitchn.com/costco-thin-mint-pretzels-return-23521368. Also mentioned: more neckwear, from https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/roundabout-roundup-upload-coolibar-top-chef-world-all-stars.
​
Thanks as always to http://www.jonjmorin.com/ for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

Roundabout Roundup: Raffia Earrings, Dog Bandana, and Girl Scout Thin Mints Pretzels

On our latest weekly roundup, we start with the unavoidable cultural onslaught that is https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118684/ (which allowed us to reminisce about the Barbies of our youth). Mentioned: One of Greta Gerwig's previous movies, Lady Bird, which https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/round-2-so-you-think-you-can-dance-west-wing-and-lady-bird.

What we're watching: We continue with The Afterparty's "Hannah," a pitch-perfect take on Wes Anderson films that introduces some important new information, but doesn't seem to bring us closer to discovering the killer. On Brothers &amp; Sisters, season 2 hurtles to its conclusion by tossing out or reversing just about everyone's storyline.

Catherine's library finds include one cynical pick, the https://bellwethermedia.com/shop/show/12814 for young titans of industry, and one adorable one: The fruit and veggie tales of https://www.jaredchapman.com/ (https://www.jaredchapman.com/books/vegetables-in-underwear, https://bookshop.org/p/books/vegetables-in-pajamas-jared-chapman/18244489, and https://bookshop.org/p/books/fruits-in-suits-jared-chapman/10823447).

Mentioned: https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/roundabout-roundup-boxlunch-white-lotus-and-oats-overnight.
​
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E5 of The Afterparty ("Sebastian") and S2 E16 of Brothers &amp; Sisters ("Prior Commitments"). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog await you!

Weekly Roundup: “Barbie,” “The Afterparty,” “Brothers & Sisters,” Cute Vegetables, and Teamwork

On our latest weekly roundup, we check in with our furry family members. Terri's dog is making friends, and Catherine's are making enemies.

What we're watching: On The Afterparty, this week's episode, "Sebastian," was a heist caper, complete with double-crosses, switcheroos, and high-stakes Connect 4 games. On Brothers &amp; Sisters, "Prior Commitments" brought us another wedding, and another secret sibling?!

Catherine's library find this week is a heavy, expensive-looking coffee table book featuring black-and-white portraits of chickens accompanied by quotations from literary classics. How are the two connected? https://www.abbeville.com/products/literary-chickens leaves that up to the reader.

In the archives, we revisit chats on the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/the-emptying-nest-take-two (August 12, 2021), those https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/episode-228-those-little-kid-days (August 13, 2018), and https://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/episode-80-summer-transitions-and-a-parenting-pop-quiz (August 7, 2015). 
​
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E6 of The Afterparty ("Danner's Fire") and the season premiere of Only Murders in the Building, which is back for season 3 (the episode is "The Show Must..."). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog await you!

Weekly Roundup: Pet Friends, “The Afterparty,” “Brothers & Sisters,” Literary Chickens, and Summer Transitions

On our latest weekly roundup, we check in on social events, with kids and without; at this point, sharing a fast-food lunch with a friend is a special treat.

What we're watching: Only Murders in the Building is back! Season 3 started with a fake-out death and then a real murder that was, conveniently, in the building. We're looking forward to following along as our heroes solve the mystery. On The Afterparty, this week's episode, "Danner's Fire," gave us very little to go on in terms of mystery-solving, so we felt pretty cheated.

Catherine's library find this week is a children's book that you have to see to appreciate. It's https://www.harpercollins.com/products/lou-breanna-carzoo?variant=39715602759714, the story of an anthropomorphic fire hydrant.

In the archives, we revisit chats on https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/pride-and-parenting (August 15, 2022), https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/college-in-the-olden-days (August 16, 2021), and https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/speed-round-what-kid-activities-did-you-enjoy-most (August 17, 2018). 
​
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E7 of The Afterparty ("Ulysses") and S3 E3 of Only Murders in the Building (“Grab Your Hankies”). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog await you!

Weekly Roundup: Ladies Who Lunch, “Only Murders in the Building,” “The Afterparty,” Lou the Fire Hydrant, and Capturing Special Moments

On our latest weekly roundup, we check in on a couple of milestones: losing a landline and gaining a new capacity for passive-aggressive commentary.

What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building, "Grab Your Hankies" brought some quite awkward efforts at investigating Ben's murder (involving hiding in curiously roomy furniture and asking transparent questions). On The Afterparty, "Ulysses" gave us a melodramatic dance movie send-up and some shady behavior from Zoe's family.

Catherine's library find this week is https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250839787/cuttingteeth. This mystery/thriller novel's flap copy grabbed her attention with its talk of bloodthirsty, murderous four-year-olds. Yes, preschoolers!

In the archives, we revisit chats on https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/spending-priorities (August 22, 2022), https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/the-costs-of-raising-kids (August 21, 2019), and https://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/the-school-supply-scavenger-hunt (August 27, 2014). 
​
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E8 of The Afterparty ("Feng") and S3 E4 of Only Murders in the Building (“The White Room”). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog await you!

Weekly Roundup: Goodbye Landline, “Only Murders in the Building,” “The Afterparty,” “Cutting Teeth,” and Back-to-School Shopping

On our latest weekly roundup, we have a special guest star. Nicole is back for a cameo appearance!

What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building, "The White Room" was not about expensive Manhattan real estate, but about stage fright (and there was a catchy song). On The Afterparty, "Feng" brought some surprising subtlety from Ken Jeong, even in the midst of a lot of TikTok videos.
​
Catherine's library find this week is another https://www.scholastic.com/parents/books-and-reading/book-lists-and-recommendations/animals/book-list-for-who-would-win.html that she found disturbing—actually, there are at least https://bellwethermedia.com/series/10138-animal-battles in the same vein, so we have concerns. Mentioned: "https://youtu.be/rdWAGFLnOUg?si=Kcg4-9M5u3Q6c_2O" on Saturday Night Live from October 11, 1975, and whether https://www.backyardpests.com/are-gophers-and-groundhogs-the-same-thing/ are the same critters.

In the archives, we revisit chats on our https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/our-best-school-strategies (September 2, 2021), https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/back-to-school-emotions (September 3, 2020), and https://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/episode-83-this-wasnt-in-the-manual (August 28, 2015). 
​
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E9 of The Afterparty ("Isabel") and S3 E5 of Only Murders in the Building (“Ah, Love!”). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog await you!

Weekly Roundup: A Special Guest, “Only Murders in the Building,” “The Afterparty,” Animal Fights, and School Strategies

On our latest weekly roundup, we have questions about when to notice someone else's hairstyle, and what to do when someone notices yours.

What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building, "Ah, Love!" upended two relationships and (maybe) kicked off a third, while (maybe) exonerating one suspect and lining the next one up. On The Afterparty, "Isabel" finally allowed Elizabeth Perkins to have some fun, and cast some serious shade on murder victim Edgar.
​
Catherine's library find this week is another questionable nonfiction series for kids: https://bearportpublishing.com/series/10079-scary-places?page=1, with titles like Creepy Castles, Eerie Parks and Playgrounds, Abandoned Insane Asylums, and many, many more.

In the archives, we revisit chats on https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/reality-show-challenges-for-parents (September 6, 2021), https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/making-our-kids-lives-easier (September 5, 2019), and https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/episode-185-apples-oranges-and-sibling-jealousy (September 8, 2017). 
​
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E10 of The Afterparty ("Zoe and Vivian," the season finale) and S3 E6 of Only Murders in the Building (“Ghost Light”). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog await you!

Weekly Roundup: Hair Color Etiquette, “Only Murders in the Building,” “The Afterparty,” Scary Places, and Parenting Challenges

On our latest weekly roundup, we don't have any kids in public school anymore, but we can still complain about back-to-school issues like traffic and loud robot voices.

What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building, "Ghost Light" was entertaining but entirely expendable; we're no closer to knowing whodunit. On The Afterparty, we do now know whodunit, although we're not exactly convinced the show's writers didn't just throw a dart at the murder board and then work backwards from there.
​
Catherine's library find this week shifts to nonfiction for adults, with two titles of note. One is scary (https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/mamadou-ndiaye/100-animals-that-can-fcking-end-you/9780316453776/) and one sounds like an absolute delight: https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393882148. It's by Keith Houston, who also wrote https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393349726. Terri is very disappointed that she can't listen to these immediately as audiobooks.

In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we complained about https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/kids-toy-complaints (September 15, 2021), https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/the-no-fun-financial-surprise  (September 11, 2019), and https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/speed-round-whats-the-worst-physical-pain-youve-ever-felt (September 12, 2017). 
​
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S3 E7 of Only Murders in the Building (“CoBro”) and the movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21232992/. If you miss hearing from us every single day, the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog await you!

Weekly Roundup: Back-to-School Problems, “Only Murders in the Building,” “The Afterparty,” "Empire of the Sum," and Archival Complaints

On our latest weekly roundup, we celebrated some decluttering triumphs (even as we know this is a job that never ends).

What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building, "CoBro" did bring us some more details that we should probably use to figure out what happened to Ben. But we were more excited by the return of some old favorites (Theo! Uma!) and a few superstar guests.

Continuing our theatre theme, we checked out Ben Platt and Molly Gordon's Theater Camp, a mockumentary set at ... well, you can guess. It was fun and funny, but not exactly fresh. Mentioned: https://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/round-2-super-bowl-super-sad-sam-super-romance.
​
Catherine's library find this week (speaking of stars) calls back to one of our previous TV watches, Parks and Recreation. Did you know there's a children's picture book called https://www.amazon.com/Parks-Recreation-Leslie-Class-President/dp/0316428655? There is! You can also check out https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316428388/ref=emc_b_5_i. 

In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/tag-team-parenting (September 20, 2021), https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/managing-stress-and-worry (September 19, 2019), and the https://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/episode-137-the-sacredness-of-routine (September 23, 2016). The podcast Terri mentioned is the "Overcoming Anxiety" episode of https://overcast.fm/+_6VBMU7hg. She also mentioned https://www.youtube.com/@KittyCleveland/streams and the https://apps.apple.com/app/id1499198946, as well as https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/roundabout-roundup-hofbrauhaus-las-vegas-artful-agenda-and-off-the-eaten-path, a digital planner we both use.
​
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S3 E8 of Only Murders in the Building (“Sitzprobe”) and a preview of the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars. If you miss hearing from us every single day, the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog await you!

Weekly Roundup: Decluttering, “Only Murders in the Building,” “Theater Camp,” “Leslie for Class President,” and Managing Worry

On our latest weekly roundup, we are once again grateful that we don't have to deal with all the logistics surrounding high school events (even though we have a front-row seat to some of them).

What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building's "Thirty" (episode 9), the trio started to close in on Ben's killer (killers?). We were quite proud of some of the predictions and connections we made last week, as well as those discussed over on https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/but-will-there-be-dip-for-dinner/, the Substack from the Fug Girls.

We also did get the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars after all, and found it enjoyable even at two and a half hours long. So many dances! Mentioned: Jason Mraz's songs "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acvIVA9-FMQ" (featuring Colbie Caillat) and "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkHTsc9PU2A."
​
Catherine's library find this week highlights the cozy mystery phenomenon, especially the https://cozy-mystery.com/catherine-bruns.html. There's one for everyone!

In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/what-cheers-us-up (October 8, 2020), Apple Watch features for parents (https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/apple-watch-this, and https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/apple-watch-features-for-parents), and https://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/episode-88-books-we-love-books-wed-ban-books-wed-like (October 2, 2015).
​
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S3 E10 of Only Murders in the Building (“Opening Night,” the finale!) and "Latin Night" on Dancing with the Stars. If you miss hearing from us every single day, the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog await you!

Weekly Roundup: High School Logistics, “Only Murders in the Building,” DWTS Premiere, Punny Cozy Mysteries, and What Cheers Us Up

On our latest weekly roundup, Terri shares some decluttering success stories, including finding a loving home for her vintage record albums.

What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building's season finale, "Opening Night" (episode 9), we learn whodunit (that is, the multiple whos who done it) and question the wisdom of having very serious conversations in the wings while a show is underway on stage. Plus, of course, the next murder in the building happens, so we're ready for season 4.

On Dancing with the Stars, it was Latin Night, or as Terri called it, "Dresses with Sleeves Night." Bruno continued to impress (?) with his collection of mesh shirts, and there were quite a few enjoyable, well-done dances.
​
Catherine's library find this week is https://www.pocketyarnlings.com/blog/best-amigurumi-books. Therein, you can find instructions on how to crochet everything from a doughnut-shaped unicorn to Mr. T to a whole family of dinosaurs. 

In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/the-runaway-volunteer-train (that we've successfully disembarked from; October 10, 2019), https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/care-packages (October 9, 2019), and https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/speed-round-are-you-a-digital-hoarder (October 9, 2017).
​
Note: After this episode was recorded, but before Terri edited it, she fell and broke her wrist. So if the editing on this episode is even less professional than usual, have mercy. Next week we will be off while Terri has surgery and recovers. We will be back the week after with stories—you can bet on that.

​When we come back, our TV watch will cover Motown and Disney nights on Dancing with the Stars as well as the movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15339570/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1. While we're gone (and anytime you're in need), the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog are available.​
