    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.

    Blackberries and the no go zone

    At what point do you tell your children that going to the supermarket on Sundays at 1:00 PM is a terrible idea unless you want to have a mental breakdown.  Well, it's a life lesson they will learn once, and they will never go again. On this bonus epsiode of Modern Mixtape, we are joined by our oldest daughter Payton as she begins her adventures of living on her own at her summer internship and discovering the art of buying fruit on sale and the no go zone of the supermarket on Sundays.

    PGA: Patience, Gratitude, Assumptions

    As a parent taking time for yourself is hard, but so important.  Finding four to five hours for a round of golf can be next to impossible, but so many lessons can be taken from the golf course into life and parenting. As life long golfers- we take a little detour, to visit lessons learned from the golf course. Maybe because we are both longing to get on the course.

    The Manual Dilemma

    As a parent how many times have you wished you could reach for the parenting manual and find the answer.  But there is no manual, because there is no one way to do things. There are universal truths such as kindness, hard work, but how you get there well it looks different for every family. We are throwing the manual out and sharing some laughs and when wish we could have had the manual for parenting.
