The Hamster Wheel

Holiday Traditions Around The Table

We all have our favorite holiday traditions and memories many of those are from around the table. Walk through a few of ours as we wrap up season 1.

Going Outward

Sometimes you have to go outward to look in ward. In this special episode with our son Jimmy, we talk high school struggles, screen addiction, and the tough family decision that lead us to Outward Bound. Jimmy is honest about his journey. Join us for the first of two episodes.

Summertime

Schools out for summer...this means summertime memories or terror as a parent because you have to figure out what the heck to do with your kids. Especially if you are a working parent. Join us as we talk summertime fun.

SOS

SOS means different things to different people, but to parents it means help, come quick or help. But to parents born in the 1970s it also brings back memories of a childhood classic- shit on a shingle. You know this dish- I will just say cream of mushroom soup to get the memory started. On this episode of modern mixtape, join us as we revisit some of our favorite childhood meals and some of the classics that have now made it to our dinner table

The Hamster Wheel

You can hear the theme music in the background...it sounds like the circus is coming to town, you can't turn it off, you can't get off. It's the parenting hamster wheel. We all want to jump off,  it how do we do that, what are the right approaches to getting kids to take ownership, laughing at our selves and how to hang tough when you are still on the wheel.
