The Teen Years Pandemic Edition of Manic Mommies is coming to a close. Our firstborns are heading off to college so it seems only appropriate for us to graduate from podcasting a second time. But we couldn't leave without saying Goodbye, for now. https://t.co/1oOprmWTfG

I don’t know if we really have a shot at the @NBDARetailers people’s choice award - but it’s certainly worth making a little noise! (And it was a great excuse to use this pic of Steve and Sophie).

Hey parents - If your kid’s team CRUSHES the competition, perhaps hold the jokey “another tough one” commentary until you’ve left the losing team’s field.

We’re kind of hating everything right now as we try to crawl out of this pandemic well. We see the light and know it’s there, and yet we’re so damn tired. Somehow we pulled it together to record a show. https://t.co/uVtmj73mNp

[Manic Mommies @manicmommies]

We’re all stressed. Add the dark days of January, blocked contact tracing, and violence in our halls of democracy —it’s all too much. Maybe that’s why we’re spewing so many curse words these days. #NotWorksafe https://t.co/iU2o0WbHf8

On this week's show, we play a snippet from comedian Sandra Shamas. Check out the full video about perimenopause. (Not work safe). https://t.co/uyqrVQ6C3s

A snippet from this week's episode as Erin and Kristin talk about... menopause (we see this coming up ALOT in future episodes). Visit our website for all the ways you can download the latest episode https://t.co/y30spBPTQZ. What have you had to give up because of menopause?

I want to try @kineuphorics but haven't had much luck with non-alcoholic options. Can anyone tell me if it's worth the $$?? Think they'd send samples to a peri-menopausal podcaster trapped at work with her teenagers? cc: @manicmommies

New podcast alert! If ever there were three letters to describe how we’re feeling these days, it’s m-e-h period. https://t.co/jBuwH2a63U

[Manic Mommies @manicmommies]

No show this week - but visit our website for a link to a "throwback" from 2006 when Erin and Kristin were guests on Podcast 411.

[Manic Mommies @manicmommies]

Just when it seemed 2020 couldn’t get any worse, we learned about the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Join us for a vodka tonic or a beer as we mourn the passing of an icon. https://t.co/2eQvZOIPrb

[Manic Mommies @manicmommies]

School is starting, both online, remote, and somewhere in between. This week we talk about going back to school in the time of COVID. https://t.co/dwF8ta2pi5

Recording together Is always better! Erin hits the road for a solo trip to Massachusetts and swings by the old neighborhood for a recording session in Kristin’s backyard. https://t.co/SAiIJ427je
