In this episode, I present the new hands-only method of CPR. More information is available at the American Heart Association.

Then my husband John joins me to comment on last episode’s topic of what to do when you bring your little geek home. Then I review one of our favorite Discovery Channel shows, “Dirty Jobs.”

Finally, I present four of my favorite board games for playing with my little geeks, starting at 4-5 years old. The games I present are Apples to Apples Jr., Uno Attack, The Amazing Labyrinth, and Battleground: Crossbows and Catapults.
