The Slang Term Quiz!

This week we are discussing the secret language of slang. So let’s take this 10 word quiz together on how well you understand modern slang terms. See if you score better than Sara D and Mike Levine! We also discuss when and where slang is appropriate and when and where it’s not. Of course we talk about what it was like when we were younger, now with our own kids and what the supposed experts say. Raising kids truly is a four way game of tug of war, because it’s the three of us and all of you!

The Mother's Day Episode

This week we are discussing how to have a good Mother's Day. Whether it's your first time being a mom or celebrating yet again, we try to think about what has worked for us and what hasn't in the past. We discuss ways it has gone right, when it goes wrong, going out to eat, maternity leave ending and picking the right gift, finding balance with grandma and in-laws, making time and trying to do the most important thing according to Levine... whisper "sentimental" as you push the gift across the table.

Of course we talk about what it was like when we were younger, now with our own kids and what the supposed experts say. Raising kids truly is a four way game of tug of war, because it’s the three of us and all of you!

Lastly, a big Happy Mother's Day to Sara D, Our Wives and Moms, and of course to all of our listeners and friends!

S01E028: Disney World Rides & Food (Part 2)

On this episode we are giving you some insight on the food and rides of the four Disney World Parks. We will be discussing our favorite attractions and some of our favorite quick order or sit down eats that worked best for our families. We are hoping to help out Sara D and others like her who haven’t gone as a family yet. Mike Levine has been a number of times and I went over the summer so I think we are going to learn a lot from each other on this second part of our Disney World Run of episodes.
