WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:06.360 Welcome to Round five at the Parenting Roundabout podcast for the week of May twenty 2 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:11.199 ninth. I'm Nicolertics that I'm here with Catherine Heleco Hello, and Terry Morrow. 3 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:16.559 Hello. Today we're taking a break from talking and complaining and obsessing and 4 00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.039 instead shouting out things that other people are doing that we think you'll find as 5 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.719 useful or enjoyable as we do. We call this our Roundabout round Up. 6 00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:31.519 So I have a special event coming up this week. My daughter is graduating 7 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:39.240 from university and I yea and I needed a pair of shoes to go with 8 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.799 a dress that I bought, and so good old Amazon pulled through again and 9 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:52.880 I found myself a cute little sandal with a low block heel, which is 10 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.320 what I was looking for. So it's not like a high heel, because 11 00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:02.840 I don't do high heels, but it's a nice low and cushionnaire is the 12 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:08.159 keyword. It's it's got this little patting on it. And they're very cute 13 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:15.359 and stylish and relatively kind of cool, like as a trendy. So I'm 14 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.120 excited to wear them. I hopefully they'll hopefully they'll be as comfortable as what 15 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:26.239 they were when I walked from my kitchen to my dining room. I mean, 16 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.920 so that's what I have this week, Catherine, how about you? 17 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:36.000 I also have a pair of shoes that I found on Amazon. I don't 18 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.879 even know how, Like I didn't was I looking. I don't even know, 19 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:46.239 um because I was ordering some other stuff, and I thought, you 20 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:52.079 know, what I don't have is just like kind of a fairly neutral little 21 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.680 summer sandal. Because I had this pair of silver sandals that I wore with 22 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.719 everything, just really just flat sandals, but you know, slightly dressing, 23 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:08.719 and they were falling apart, and I finally forced myself to throw them away 24 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.800 because if I kept if I kept them in my closet, I kept thinking 25 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.400 that I could get away with wearing them, even though I really could not 26 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:23.759 because they were falling apart. And there was another pair I had another pair 27 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:29.120 of like sort of like dressy ish flip flops, you know, like the 28 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:37.759 flip flop style, but like a nice leather shoe that I last summer literally 29 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:43.360 fell apart on my feet when I was in Peoria on a college visit. 30 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:52.280 So so to replace both of those, I found these. They're called gladiator 31 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:58.120 braided sling back sandals. That's how they are described on Amazon, from a 32 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:08.080 brand called great On, which sounds like somebody in a non English speaking country 33 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:13.759 trying to come up with a good brand name for their Prada. But anyway, 34 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:20.000 inexpensive, you know, cute little sandals and so far, so good. 35 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.879 I'd worn them a couple of times and they're holding together and they look 36 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.800 good and they're comfortable. Nice. So Nicole and I are both nice shoe 37 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.000 twins. Yes, Terry, how about you? I have no shoes to 38 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.639 talk about. No shoes. I purchased any shoes in a quite a while 39 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.039 now, nothing new on the shoe front. But this morning I was trying 40 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.599 to figure out what I wanted for breakfast, and I kind of decided I 41 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.639 wanted to pop tart and I was looking at the strawberry pop tarts and my 42 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.319 son came up to me and says, no, these are the ones you 43 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:58.719 want. These are great, and he pulled out a box of brown sugar 44 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.319 cinnamon pop tarts. I don't know if this is a new thing. I 45 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:05.000 think I've had brown sugar pop tarts before and they were just fine. But 46 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:10.360 these have like a frosting on them that is sort of cinnamony, and honestly, 47 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.800 I had flashbacks while I had it, I toast, had him toast 48 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.759 it for me and then bring it to me, and I had flashbacks of 49 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:21.600 my mom's cinnamon toast when I was a kid, with like generous amounts of 50 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:27.319 butter and cinnamon and sugar on it. That's exactly what it tasted like to 51 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.240 me. Took me back, took me back to the old days, and 52 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:38.879 it was just quite delicious and you know, highly recommendable. So as my 53 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.600 son did for me, I will say for you, these these are the 54 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.480 ones you want, the brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts. Eat them. You'll 55 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.879 like them, you will nice, sound good. And that is it for 56 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:55.639 another week of parenting Roundabout.
