In this week’s episode of From 9 to Mom, we share the chaotic reality of being a working mom when the Norovirus and flu hit your household like a wrecking ball. 😷 Between managing sick kids and trying to keep it all together while we’re both under the weather ourselves, it’s a true test of strength and patience.

We talk about how we juggle work, parenting, and just trying to survive while battling illness—and of course, keeping our sense of humor along the way! If you’ve ever been knocked down by a cold or flu and still had to keep the world turning, this episode is for you!

In this episode of From 9 to Mom, we dive into the often emotional and unpredictable world of kids giving up their binkies (pacifiers).

In this episode of From 9 to Mom, we dive into the world of products that are marketed to us as "good for us"—but often fall short.

We also wrap up with first half book recap for our From 9 to Mom book club friends, so be warned—spoiler alert! If you haven’t read the book yet, you might want to skip the last part of the episode until you’re all caught up.

Tune in for a mix of laughs, frustration, and a healthy dose of real talk about the products we love to hate (and sometimes still buy anyway). 🙃✨
