Weekly Roundup: “The Joy of Half a Cookie,” one sec, and Our Canine Kids

from Parenting Roundabout · host Parenting Roundabout

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find has a title that got her fuming: The Joy of Half a Cookie by Jean Keristeller with Alisa Bowman. It's meant to be a diet book that uses mindfulness and meditation techniques to promote weight loss. We think it would be much more joyful to just eat an entire cookie.​Terri's random recommendation is a return to a previous pick, the one sec app. It's now added a website-blocker feature to its previous offering, a website-delayer, which turned out to be not enough to deter Terri from her Facebook video clips.​In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2017 on raising our canine kids. Mentioned: Bluey, the cartoon dog, who is a blue heeler.Bonus content!: Check out our 15-minute recap of Dancing with the Stars, recorded immediately after the season premiere on Tuesday.Next week's lineup: Lost S3 E17, "Catch-22," on Tuesday, September 23Only Murders in the Building S5 E4, "Dirty Birds," on Wednesday, September 24Weekly roundup on Thursday, September 25Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
