Mon, 14 December 2009 OK, we hate to pry, but with the stress of the holidays and end of the
year, has "it" fallen to the bottom of your to-do list? This week we're
joined by Dr. Debra Laino, a board-certified sexologist and therapist
who shares her professional tips for keeping the sizzle in your
relationship. This conversation goes beyond date night, ladies, and is
not one for little ears. Then we wrap up with girlfriend gab and call
it a year! While we're on vacation, you can follow us on Twitter or Facebook and connect with other listeners under the Big Tent. |
Mon, 7 December 2009 The holiday madness is in full swing, and the Manic Mommies are feeling a tad bit overwhelmed. We discuss holiday preparations (budgets, gifts, cards . . . oh my!), the prices of Christmas trees, conversations under the Big Tent, Tiger Woods, and random acts of judgment. |
Mon, 30 November 2009 We're stuffed with turkey and a lot of hot air this week, so we're
excited to break up the banter with a healthy conversation with Alison
Sweeney, Days of Our Lives diva and host of the Biggest Loser.
Alison talks about her life as a working mom (in fact she was picking
her son up from school when we reached her) and how she manages to find
time for the important things in life: her kids, her health and giving
back. We follow that up with a generous serving of holiday complaints.
Pull up a chair, there's plenty of leftovers. |
Sun, 22 November 2009 Due to a scheduling snafu, Alison Sweeney (aka Sammy Brady) couldn't
join us this week. So... we're catching up with an old fashioned gab
session – discussing Thanksgiving, groceries, lice, bed bugs and what
drove Kristin to throw a CD player through her guest room wall.We're catching up with an old fashioned gab session – discussing Thanksgiving, groceries, lice, bed bugs and what drove Kristin to throw a CD player through her guest room wall.Direct download: Manic-Mommies-192-Dont-Let-The-Bed-Bugs-Bite_2.mp3 Category: Family -- posted at: 11:12 PM |
Sun, 15 November 2009 As parents, and siblings, the Manic Mommies know how important the
sibling relationship is, but how much did our siblings impact the
grownups we became? And how do we, as parents, nurture the relationship
our children have with their siblings? Lisa Hanson and Heather
Kempskie, twins, moms and authors of The Sibling Busy Book, joined us
at Escape'09 to help us as we all search for sibling harmony.Direct download: Manic-Mommies-191-Escape-09-Searching-For-Sibling-Harmony.mp3 Category: Family -- posted at: 9:16 PM |
Tue, 10 November 2009 We're back from Napa and reentry into our everyday lives is not nearly
as much fun as getting away with 160 of our dearest fans (although it
was so great to hear those squeals of "Mommy!" when we arrived home). Even if you weren't with us in person, you were
with us in spirit. Listen in throughout the month to get a feel for the fun and the
sisterhood of the weekend – starting with "true mom confessions" with authors Amy Nobile and Trisha Ashworth.Direct download: Manic-Mommies-190-Escape-09-Mommy-Confessions.mp3 Category: Family -- posted at: 10:00 PM |
Sun, 1 November 2009 What would you do if your 3-year-old daughter had an imaginary friend
who caused her to speak a mysterious language and lash out at others?
What if parenting books, friends and pediatricians could offer you
little help or support? Would you travel to Central America to see a
nontraditional healer? Author Hope Edelman did. This week she joins us
to talk about her memoir The Possibility of Everything, and her plight to bring harmony and wellness back to her family through some extraordinary means.Direct download: Manic-Mommies-189-The-Possibility-of-Everything.mp3 Category: Family -- posted at: 8:29 PM |
Mon, 26 October 2009 After an unexpected week off, the Manic Mommies take a few moments to
catch up on recent life events: business travel, poison oak and the
first parent-teacher conferences of the year. We're also joined by
author/comedian Chris Mancini whose hilarious new book Pacify Me is a
laugh out loud read for any new or experienced parent. It's good to get
a dad's perspective every once and a while! |
Mon, 12 October 2009 ![]() The Meal Makeover Moms visit Kristin's kitchen to answer all of our
healthy eating questions. They also give one of Kristin's family's
favorite recipes, Fish Chowder, a meal makeover (it was delicious!). Special thanks to Meal Makeover Moms Escape Sponsors - Coleman Natural and Cabot. Direct download: Manic-Mommies-187-Meal-Makeover-Moms-Visit.mp3 Category: Family -- posted at: 4:53 PM |
Mon, 5 October 2009 The Manic Mommies took a time out to get a little shopping done, meeting listeners and friends at the new Champion store at Wrentham Premium Outlets. During our visit we found out some of the ways they are staying fit - from karate to power jump roping (how dangerous does that sound??), we were so impressed by their commitment to getting moving. Maybe it will inspire Erin and Kristin to do the same!We also welcome our first Escape sponsor spotlight: Coleman Natural Foods. |
