Parenting Roundabout

Picking up on those Facebook games that ask others to describe you in three words, we imagined what our husbands might come up with if posed such a question. (Although Nicole cheated and actually asked hers. Maybe it’s better left to our imaginations.) How would your significant other describe you? Which words would you prefer? Comment on our Facebook page.

E-mail accounts are getting out of hand, aren’t they? It’s so easy to start new ones, and then all of a sudden you’re checking all over the place and missing mail because you forgot passwords. We checked in today to count up how many accounts we’ve accumulated, and how much in need of consolidation we are. Share your own e-mail overload on our Facebook page.

The Tony Awards is this Sunday (go Hamilton!) and we’ll be live-tweeting the ceremony and probably some red-carpet action beforehand. Since we have Twitter on our minds, we thought we’d share some of our favorite entertainment tweeters, in case like us you get an appreciable amount of your pop culture by reading tweets about it. Among those mentioned:

Hamilton: Especially @Lin_Manuel, but also @LacketyLac, @ChrisisSingin, @DaveedDiggs, @leslieodomjr, @Anthony_Ramos1, @OakSmash, @phillipasoo, @reneeelisegolds

Pop Culture Happy Hour: @nprmonkeysee, @ghweldon, @idislikestephen

Extra Hot Great: @taraariano, @tomatonation

Writers: @sepinwall, @TheFienPrint, @fuggirls

Actors: @joshmalina, @mindykaling

Too many handles to handle? Just follow Terri’s entertainment list for all these and more.

After all that twittering, we checked in with So You Think You Can Dance (from which we would like to see no more bare-skin costumes, no more vomiting children, and no more dancing moms) and then moved on to our Parks and Recreation marathon, which this week included the Season 5 episodes “Bailout,” “Partridge,” “Animal Control,” and “Article Two.” For next week, we’ll be finishing up Season 5 with “Jerry’s Retirement,” “Swing Vote,” and “Are You Better Off?” Also, if you’re following along on our West Wing watch coordinated to the West Wing Weekly podcast, watch “Lord John Marbury” for next week. And don’t forget to follow us in our live-tweeting Sunday night!

When it comes to youth sports, it turns out that two of us were accomplished young athletes and two of us were clever shirkers of organized sports. Listen to find out who skied and skated and swam and who conscientiously defended the part of the soccer field with nobody in it, then share your own sporty exploits on our Facebook page.

Have you heard that food nutrition labels are changing, in ways that make them easier to read and somehow more judge-y about your devotion to PopTarts and Cheetos and Oreos. Do you welcome this nutritional kick in the pants, or will you be covering that box with your hand every time you pour yourself some Cap'n Crunch? Share your strategies on our Facebook page.
