Schools celebrate the 100th day of the school year, and it got us wondering whether similar celebrations could be designed for landmarks of grown-up life. Do you have a 100th day of something you'd like to celebrate? Comment here or on our Facebook page, or tweet us @RoundAboutChat.

Woo-hoo! It's our 100th group chat, marking the start of a third year of podcasting for Parenting Roundabout. We took the opportunity to look back on our favorite episodes, play some clips from the past, and then wrap our heads around some numbers in the form of a fun (if somewhat slapdash) quiz. If you'd like to hear more than an excerpt from the episodes we favorited, here's where you can find them:

• Amanda chose Episode 53, "School-Lunch Drama and Scheduling Stress" 
• Catherine chose Episode 88, "Children's Books We Have Loved and Loathed"
• Nicole chose Episode 64, "Uncooperative Parents and Playground Pet Peeves"
• Terri chose Episode 65, "Feeling Anxious About Anxiety"

Throughout the episode, Terri was feverishly working to finish a by-the-numbers quiz on our longest, shortest, most popular, least popular, and otherwise measurable facts about our past episodes. Too many episodes were mentioned to link to here, but you can search the episode titles on this site to find and listen to them. Finally, we shared our 100th set of weekly recommendations: Catherine mentioned her long list of New Year's resolution ideas; Amanda kept with the 100 theme with 100 Activities to Do With Your Child for the 100th Day of School; Nicole added her 100th post on The Inclusive Class; and Terri had suggestions for making New Year’s resolutions for those who need them.

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for producing our episode and Kristin Eredics for our happy in-and-out music. (If you're reading this description somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.)

[This is an encore presentation of a Parenting Roundabout episode originally released on May 13, 2015. If you listened to it the first time, this is your second chance to follow up on all the resources and ideas mentioned that you just never quite got around to. And if you didn’t listen to it the first time -- hey, it's new to you! Either way, please listen and enjoy.]

Fresh off hosting 75 people for a four-year-old's birthday party with a theme of "Space, Ranbows, and Superheroes," Lexi Walters Wright chats with Terri about present protocols, color-coordinated superhero cupcakes, backyards vs. bowling alleys, how birthday parties have changed over the years, and why you won't find a pinata at her house.

When's the last time you went to a wedding? Did you get a paper invitation or an Evite? And did you notice whether the bride and groom were collecting gifts in a cash box, a satin bag, or a dirty shoe? We talked about these and other wedding trends, with a detour into bar and bat mitzvahs, and noticed that we're all in the stage of life where we're sitting back and waiting for our friends' kids (and our own kids?!) to get married.

That led us into a discussion of the swiftness of time, especially in the summer. Ironically, it's our Canadian Nicole who has no sorries at all to offer about her fun summer, which included a visit to the Motherland. Catherine's looking wistfully at blank chore charts and unsent barbecue invitations, while Terri plans to squeeze all her summer fun into her family's upcoming vacation. Amanda moved her entire household this summer so we're giving her a pass on accomplishing anything else.

Finally, we shared our weekly recommendations: Catherine mentioned her new article on adding more vegetables to your family's diet (which is actually a plea for new cucumber recipes); Amanda recommended a piece by our colleague Lexi Walters Wright on the summer movies of 2015; Nicole noted that we would all feel better about our summer accomplishments after we read this list of 50 summer activities; and Terri suggested her resources for family events -- Family Gathering Survival Kit, Family Gathering Bingo, Safe Things to Say to Parents of Kids With Special Needs at Family Gatherings, and the All-Purpose Apology Template.
