Camping (the French connection)
Oct 8, 2021Tap to summarizeIn another classic Bluey “bait and switch” we start off talking about stinky chef and end with us all crying over a tree. Speaking of stinky kids we dive into the pop culture topic of bathing your kids and how that relates to race and class-ism. Tori then admits that she translated, with the help of Google, what Jen-Luc was saying, which Cherin explains how much simpler it is to simply turn the captioning on. We ponder if Jean-Luc is actually Canadian and finish by discussing Chilli and her amazing life advice. --------- Follow us on Facebook or Instagram @ForRealLife.pod where you can leave comments about the episode or feel free to send us an email us at ForRealLife.pod@gmail.com If you liked this episode please be sure to rate us, leave a review and of course SUBSCRIBE so you know as soon as new episodes drop.

Grannies (you gotta pay for those beans?)
Jul 9, 2021Tap to summarizeTo say people LOVE this episode is an understatement. So it won't come as any surprise that we do as well. Its super quotable, funny, cleaver and heart warming. Everything we love about Bluey. Honestly we’re not sure who was laughing more in this episode; Tori and Cherin or Janet and Rita as they tried to steal the beans. Amid the laughter we talk a bit about the origins of the floss dance before we ponder what sorts of things our grands kids may ask us to do someday. Hopefully it the won’t be technology related…. But it probably will be. Dang VR. -------------- We love our listeners and we love feedback.

Bob Bilby (Exploring our own tablet guilt)
Mar 20, 2021Tap to summarizeGrab something to drink and get comfortable because we go ALL IN, with some serious discussions, on this weeks episode. How can you not when the topic is screen-time. To give them tablets or not to give them tablets? Isn't that always a question? During this episode Tori & Cherin explore our own screen-time (tablet) philosophy and the guilt that comes along with how much time we and our children spend in front of screens. We also discuss the Heeler's car and how kids car seat requirements have changed since we were kids. Who is Bob Bilby. He's a Bilby named Bob of course. Never heard of a Bilby, well don't worry because Cherin has all the facts and will discuss them, along with why Bilby's are slowly taking over for the Easter Bunny...at least in Australia. Plus Tori walks Cherin through the origins of Flat Stanley and we both LOL when Bandit's cool guy camera goes off at just the right moment. Wink. ***Note: wanna find out how you can help save the Bilby's then check out http://www.savethebilbyfund.com ---------------------------------------------- Be sure to check us out on social: on Instagram @ForRealLife.pod or FB.
