show more1:28: What's New With You? — Amanda thinks she's found a new system that will help her cut down on multitasking and focus on one thing at a time. Ha! Good luck with that. Meanwhile, Terri's focused on finding a human being on the Macy's customer-service phone line, and not having much success with that either.
6:20: Teaching Old Dogs New Tech Tricks — A forced conversion to Outlook is making Amanda cry, Catherine's still hiding out with in Yahoo! mail, Nicole just can't with this magazine website redesign thing, but Terri's willing to embrace the new even if it fries her phone.
16:18: Our Parenting Philosophies — We've been asked if we all share the same parenting philosophy or if we have disagreements, and what we mostly agree on is that there are as many right ways to parent as there are parents and children and families. Also, that the article going around about no rules making your kids creative is questionable (and reminds Terri of a West Wing scene.)
25:25: Interview of the Week — Robert Rummel Hudson joins Terri and Amanda for a chat about the value to parents of reading other parents' stories and learning from their experiences, even the bad and wrong and embarrassing ones.
37:47: Shameless Self-Promotion — Terri shared an article on "When Parents of Kids with Special Needs Are Each Other’s Worst Enemies"; Amanda: shared a checklist of "Questions to Ask Before and During Your Child's IEP Meeting"; Nicole was too busy working on her book to share, but you should check out her website The Inclusive Class anyway; and Catherine shared an article on getting your kid to drink more water.
