096 - Need Some Help With The Kids? Our Top 10 Mom Tips & Hacks

096 - Mom Tips Top 10

Hello, Bettys and Jacks! We hope your October/Spooky Season is not being squished into a big pile of crap! We had to get ourselves a little hyped-up to record today, but luckily we had our Bettys Podcast HYPE Playlist! Check it out here on Spotify.

 

Mary complains for a bit about the registration process for the lottery for tickets to the Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert in Salt Lake City. It’s frustrating, because it’s a lovely (and free!) concert every year. Check out this one from 2014 with the Muppets from Sesame Street. Alexis and Mary also talk a bit about Sesame Place and SeaWorld near San Diego, California.

 

We started this episode wanting to talk about movies (stay tuned for episode 97!), but ended up ad-libbing and sharing some really good Mom Tips/Hacks. We’ve got tips for newborns, teenagers, special needs, and everything in-between. If you’re struggling to communicate with younger kids, some sign language might help. We really liked Signing Time (especially the “My Day” video from Signing Time with Alex and Leah; it’s a little bit older, but extremely helpful!). Also, check out this playlist on YouTube–so much good stuff there! 

 

We’re also big fans of the 8-Second Hug. And please check out this TEDx Talk by Collin Kartchner. That’s good stuff.

 

And here are some of the books we mention: Cat in the Hat, Too Tight Benny, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, and Goodnight, Moon.
