12 DEC 2024 · Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a http://www.claudiagray.com/books/mr-darcy-and-miss-tilney-mystery/ by Claudia Gray, all starring Jane Austen characters: The Murder of Mr. Wickham (2022), The Late Mrs. Willoughby (2023), and The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bough (2024). These are an absolutely delightful (and non-stressful) way to revisit these characters, and there's even a little helping of romance. Mentioned: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Comes-Pemberley-P-James/dp/0571311172, another contemporary author's take on an Austen-themed mystery.
Terri's random recommendation is https://app.artfulagenda.com/, the premium version of https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/roundabout-roundup-hofbrauhaus-las-vegas-artful-agenda-and-off-the-eaten-path, a digital planner we both use. With Artful Plus, you get a habit tracker and the ability to make and use your own stickers, among other perks. Mentioned: The Artful Agenda Facebook group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/286379361808499.
In the archives, we discussed an episode from 2020 on https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/roundabout-roundup-hofbrauhaus-las-vegas-artful-agenda-and-off-the-eaten-path (which we think is more helpful than starting or participating in a drive-thru pay-it-forward chain). Mentioned: Books from our former co-hosts: https://products.brookespublishing.com/Inclusion-in-Action-P1050.aspx by Nicole Eredics and https://www.amandamorin.com/neurodiversity-affirming-schools (January 2025) by Amanda Morin.
Next week's lineup:
- Lost S1 E23, "Exodus: Part 2," on Tuesday, December 17
- Shrinking S2 E6, "Get in the Sea," on Wednesday, December 18
- Weekly roundup on Thursday, December 19
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog are available.

11 DEC 2024 · On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's season 2 of Shrinking, and an episode that gave us quite a lot of parenting and therapizing and dads trying to overcome daddy issues (plus Gabby trying to manage her complicated family, too). Good on the dads and surrogate dad figures! But at least one other storyline is going someplace we'd rather not follow.
Next week, we'll watch season 2, episode 7, "Get in the Sea.” (Yes, we're watching this a few weeks behind its initial drops. That's parenting for you!) We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

10 DEC 2024 · Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode gave us the launching of the raft (so, everything's going to be fine from this point on, right?) and the return of Danielle Rousseau, bearing ominous warnings (so, maybe not so fine).
Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 23, "Exodus: Part 2" (the two-hour second half of the season finale). Tomorrow, it's Shrinking, season 2, episode 6.

5 DEC 2024 · Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is an instructional picture book for kids called https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250910172/howtopeeyourpants by Rachel Michelle Wilson. It's cute and relatable (and Terri thinks it could have applications beyond the preschool crowd).
Terri's random recommendation is back, and this week she has a simple way to reflect on the holiday season: The https://praymoreretreat.org/2024-advent-retreat/ from https://www.praymorenovenas.com/.
In the archives, we checked out an episode from 2020 on the https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/flying-solo (otherwise known as alone time for mom).
Next week's lineup:
- Lost S1 E23, "Exodus: Part 1," on Tuesday, December 10
- Shrinking S2 E6, "In a Lonely Place," on Wednesday, December 11
- Weekly roundup on Thursday, December 12

4 DEC 2024 · On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's season 2 of Shrinking. And TBH the honesty in this episode caused a lot more problems than it solved, and that's not really why we're here. Bring back the jokes and the friends hanging out!
Next week, we'll watch season 2, episode 6, "In a Lonely Place.” (Yes, we're watching this a few weeks behind its initial drops. That's parenting for you!) We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

3 DEC 2024 · Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This Kate flashback gave us a bad daughter, a bad ex-girlfriend, a bad mom, and yet another bad dad, but not a lot of forward progress on many plots. Mentioned: Mackenzie Astin in https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/round-2-the-good-place-the-west-wing-and-how-to-deal.
Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 23, "Exodus: Part 1" (the first half of the season finale). Tomorrow, it's Shrinking, season 2, episode 5.

28 NOV 2024 · Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a trio of parenting books, because the publishing industry will never give up on promising parents a simple fix for all their problems.
- https://www.shambhala.com/the-yoga-of-parenting.html by Sarah Ezrin
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60050807-project-management-for-parents by Hilary Kinney, PMP
- https://www.penguinbookshop.com/book/9781728297729 by Helen Russell

27 NOV 2024 · On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's season 2 of Shrinking. On this episode, our old pal Daddy Issues is back with a vengeance, but there's also some good fathering (or surrogate fathering) going on too.
Next week, we'll watch season 2, episode 5, "Honesty Era.” (Yes, we're watching this a few weeks behind its initial drops. That's parenting for you!) We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

26 NOV 2024 · Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This was a Sayid episode, and while we found the connection between the flashbacks and the action on the island to be tenuous, we were OK with it (especially for the side plot of "Sawyer reads to the baby").
Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 22, "Born to Run." Tomorrow, it's Shrinking, season 2, episode 4.

21 NOV 2024 · Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a three-book series for young readers called https://publishing.andrewsmcmeel.com/book/my-pet-slime-box-set/. Because slime is still a thing, and nonfiction titles about how to make it just aren't enough. Mentioned: Publisher https://publishing.andrewsmcmeel.com/.
Terri's random recommendation is back on the shelf for a few more weeks while we finish out the season of Dancing with the Stars. This week was the semi-finals, which turned out to be a lot of drama for nothing because... no one was eliminated. While we don't care for the bait-and-switch of it all, we're happy with this crew and won't mind spending three hours with them next week for the finale.
In the archives, we discussed those times https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/when-mom-cant-fix-it (from 2019).
Next week's lineup:
- Lost S1 E21, "The Greater Good," on Tuesday, November 26
- Shrinking S2 E4, "Made You Look," on Wednesday, November 27
- Weekly roundup on Thursday, November 28
