We find ourselves heading into a whole new blender and discuss it a bit.
Announcements

News

Main Topic

  • Our future plans – Another blend?!? Shut the front door!
    • Because of the economy and recent events, we are going to be moving in with the Rossi family after our house sells. It benefits both our families tremendously, beyond the financial aspect. We also have another roomie moving in, and with the full count at 6 adults, 2 small children, 3 dogs, 3 cats and one fish, we are finding ourselves in another new realm to adjust to. Far improved from the empty nest, and with ample room for our sons to visit whenever they like.

Episode 25 – The Holidays

Yay new cast! Oh wait, that’s not my job 🙂

We are happy to bring you this December cast about our Holidays and what all we’ve been up to since last time.

Correction: In the episode Chooch gives his GMail account as the name to add as a PS3 buddy. Actually, the name is “choochus2”. And for some reason, PS3 is case sensitive, so all lower case 🙂

In this ep we discuss:

  • Our Thanksgiving(s)
  • LotR marathon fail
  • Chooch’s trip to California
  • Christmas
  • Nephews over
  • Video games.. and more video games

Episode 7 – Holiday Traditions

We hope everybody had (is having?) a wonderful Holiday. This was recorded a few days before Christmas, so it includes a lot of speculation of the holiday. Now that its past, we had a wonderful day and everybody is very happy and contented.

This episode includes:

  • Our Holiday traditions
  • A call from MAinPA
  • A call from Doug Rapson
  • M’s Holiday concert at school
  • ‘Hey Wanna Watch A Movie’ podcast

Episode 5 – Game and Movie sites for parents

This week we talk about some game and movie resources for parents that give in-depth reviews and ratings of content. Much better than the minimal (and usually inaccurate) info that the MPAA, RIAA, and ESRB give.

We didn’t discuss This Film Is Not Yet Rated in the episode, but we watched it recently, and highly recommend it- especially as a parent. It will greatly open your eyes to the shortcomings of the MPAA film ratings process!!

Items Covered include:

Episode 004 – Revving up for the holidays

This week we talk about starting to prepare for the Holidays. The difficulties of coordinating presents with extended, and out of state family (and ex-spouses).
