Paige and I are pleased to announce the launch of the new MommyCast and Friends Family Channel! The MommyCast and Friends Family Channel is the place to go if you are searching for high quality, independent family friendly podcasts or vidcasts. Take a look at our inaugural group of shows by going to MommyCastandFriends.com! Paige and I recorded this show in front of a live audience at the Portable New Media Expo in Ontario, California. (We’ve never done that before!) After our announcement, we talk about Avery’s take on playground layout. Our song is the newest song from Matthew Ebel entitled Lost My Way. This show is brought to you by FullTerm. Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!
Once again, there is another devastating story in the news about a new mom suffering from Postpartum Psychosis. We all need to learn the warning signs! Quite often, its the friends who can recognize the signs, not the mom and probably not even the husband. So, Paige and I go through the warning signs for all of our listeners. Our song is Become by Pete Hopkins. This show is brought to you by FullTerm. Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!
Paige shares her experience with Back to School Night in…….High School! Yes, we both have kids in high school now! The expectations….the technology…..the stress….not quite what we remember from those golden years way back when! But first, we share some tips from the Parent Institute on how you can help your children learn. Our song is Suede Pumas by Amy B. Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!
We are so pleased to have the opportunity to speak with Liz Witts from HGTV’s Mission Organization! Liz walks us through some basic organization tips. In particular, she gives us some great ideas to get organized for the new school year. Thanks to Liz for taking the time to speak with us. And, thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!
There is lots of tech talk on today’s show. First, Paige and I congratulate our friend Whitney on her successful organization of Podcamp Philly. Then, we have a frank discussion about Facebook strategies for parents. It’s all about staying one step ahead of your kids when it comes to technology! We continue our discussion about technology focusing on cyberbullying. Thanks to our friend Holli at the Wedding Podcast Network for pointing out the possible devastating effects of cyberbullying and the need for parents to teach their children Techiquette! Finally, we DEEPLY APOLOGIZE for the Quechup Scam that effected our listeners. We, along with A LOT of other people were caught in this horrible spamming scam! Our song is Banjo Boy by Ryan Shupe and The Rubberband. This show is brought to you by FullTerm. Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!
Are you on facebook? If so, join the MommyCast Group! We’d love to have you as our friends!
