We’re coming off a brutal week as we say goodbye to Boji and try to put words to shock, grief, and what it means to lose a pet who shaped our everyday life. We laugh through the tears and break down an all-out Oscars costume party, a debate about family Halloween costumes, and a little nostalgia about landlines and the return of old habits.

• processing sudden pet loss and the strange quiet that follows
• how we talk to our kids about death with clear simple language
• why whimsy and community rituals matter when life feels heavy
• the Oscars party tradition and what makes it so fun
• the tiger costume that did not fit
• who should be the main character in family Halloween costumes
• favorite throwback costumes and what we’d do differently now
• bad dad mean mom moments and repairing after a rough day
• water bottle opinions and the realities of cleaning straws
• word of the week and why some words are just unusable
• the comeback of landlines and what it says about phones for kids
