So That's Why Magicians Are Back & The E...

The kids are at home, the holiday activities are seemingly endless and you probably need a break. So welcome back to the podcast that's not just any parenting podcast. 

On the show today: 

• You're officially excused from ever attending your child's sport practice. Don't believe us? Just ask the professional soccer player Abby Wambach. 
• Plus, are you an eldest daughter? Well, so is Taylor Swift and the birth order theory might explain a lot.
• And, magicians are having a moment. But this time it's not just for the kids. So get the girls  over, put the kids to bed and enjoy some whimsy.  

And our recommendations:

🗞️ Stacey wants you to check out this great opinion piece on the Australian divorce story to end all Australian divorce stories. 

📺 Amelia is recommending The Assembly on ABC IVIEW.

🎄 And Monz (in true eldest daughter fashion) is recommending the Christmas Mums Facebook page for Chrissy inspiration, wholesomeness and some early planning.
