Well, on this episode Melanie and I are both at the mercy of our children's airline travel woes, which means we got interrupted by phone calls and texts while we were recording since we were trying to help with troubleshooting and whatnot. Besides that, though, we talk through Japan travel prep, David's best technological day, and Hazel's sassy new Pilates-esque accessories.

We also learn about a Netflix show that Melanie has loved, and we share our Graduation Gift Guide for 2025.

Hope you enjoy!

(Travel update from SH: I'm putting together show notes on Wednesday morning, and Alex is officially on his plane to Japan. Even though they're leaving a day later than they expected, they're now on a Japan Airlines flight and thrilled about it!)
