On this week's group chat, we talk about just how extended our family is right now, discuss our hobbies or lack thereof, shout out some stuff we like on the Roundabout Roundup, and talk back-to-school with pediatric OT Meghan Corridan. Here's your road map to the episode: 07:17 We Are Family — Is your clan starting to look like something from Modern Family? Are you close to aunts and uncles and cousins and siblings, or happy staying as far away from any feud fodder as you can? Are your friends more your family than your family? We have an extended talk about extended family. 25:30 Speed Round: Do You Have a Hobby? — Does podcasting count? 30:19 Parenting Roundabout Roundup — Terri is looking forward to the Paralympics (which you can watch on an NBC station somewhere on your dial or streaming online); Catherine thinks Nalgene's Lunch Buddy lunchbox is pretty cool, even if her kids don't; and Nicole recommends the Flightview app for following a loved one's flight. 36:00 Interview of the Week — Meghan Corridan joins Catherine, as she does once a month, to give us some advice from a pediatric OT. This week's topic is back-to-school supplies and organization. 51:05 Shameless Self-Promotion — Terri has resources for parents preparing to inform teachers about their kids in the Parent's Portfolio on her Mothers With Attitude site; Catherine has a new article on 7 Ways to Raise a Physically Confident Kid; and Nicole invites you to visit the Inclusive Class on Pinterest. Thanks as always to Jon Morin for producing our podcast and for our fun in-and-out music. This is Jon's last episode with us, so if there's a noticeable drop in quality after this ep, don't blame him. We very much appreciate his heroic efforts to make us sound even a little bit professional.
