Ep 32: Rhythms and Routines

10/05/17 • 36 min

We talk about what happens to your family when school starts back up in September, and whether that month is truly a lost cause. Drew shares the many rituals his family performs on a daily and weekly basis in an attempt to keep the chaos at bay, and we discuss the general wisdom in creating a family rhythm. Plus, Whitney fangirls the return of the American-made station wagon. -- Whitney’s place: The woods. Go there with your kids. -- Drew’s place: Puerto Rico. Donate money, and then go there with yours kids. Just a Phase is produced by Whitney Crispell.
