So That's Why Magicians Are Back & The Eldest Daughter Theory

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 (mamamia.com.au/nicole-kidman-divorce-opinion) on the Australian divorce story to end all Australian divorce stories.
📺 Amelia is recommending The Assembly (go.skimresources.com?id=53410X1291869&xs=1…) on ABC IVIEW.
🎄 And Monz (in true eldest daughter fashion) is recommending the Christmas Mums (facebook.com/ChristmasMums) Facebook page for Chrissy inspiration, wholesomeness and some early planning.
