Motherhood Uncensored

Having children is at the same time very difficult and very rewarding. Kristen Chase’s show is called Motherhood Uncensored because of her “no-more-Mrs.-Nice-Mom” approach, which, she says, is “not for the faint of heart.” A former college professor and musician, this mom is turning things around in blog radio with her witty and informative broadcasts- and her guests are there to back her up.

Previous broadcasts have included wise topics like, “Back to School From the Flip Side: The Down and Dirty From the Teachers”, where teachers sat in and discussed what they thought parents needed to know when it came to the first day of school and all things involved; “Where is the Love? Being a Good Parent Means Being a Good Spouse”, which discusses the conflicts that can come about with trying too hard to be either; “If There’s No Heaven, Where Do We Go? How to Parent Without Religion,” which discussed a recently released book, Parenting Without Belief, which brings up the quandaries of raising children without religion. Another show talked about “mommy guilt”, which raised the issue of parents looking too hard at what others were doing and couldn’t quite figure out what was best for their own kids.

Kristen Chase presents in an open-minded and no-holds-barred manner a variety of information that parents are sure to find refreshing and not in the least bit sugarcoated. In today’s world where millions of products are marketed at parents and almost all of them can seem very confusing, it’s a breath of fresh air to find someone who tells it like it is. You can listen to her show bi-monthly (usually every nine days) at 6:00 p.m.

Mommy Talk

Sure, being a mom means dealing with wailing, foot stomping, and the occasional boo-boo, but being a mom also means being responsible and understanding all the latest news and ideas. “Mommy Talk” radio show is another talk show about moms, but this one actually brings current events to the blog talk scene – with a mommy only twist, that is.

The host of “Mommy Talk,” Jeanie, has a whole slew of wonderful guest spotlights, radio show regulars, and some very hard hitting topics to conquer on her radio show. Jeanie has talked with moms that are dealing with childhood leukemia, she has talked with moms that are battling depression, and she has even gained a few laughs as listeners heard the strange tales of a woman who works in the ER. Though all of Jeanie’s guests are funny, and most incite quite a few calls, the most popular guest on the “Mommy Talk” show is the “cooking guru” Rachel.

Rachel offers listeners yummy, easy, fast, recipes that are easily put together in a cinch. Since Rachel has a fairly regular spot on the “Mommy Talk” show, listeners know what to expect when Rachel is to be the main guest. If you want to hear some wonderful cooking tips, hints, tricks, and – of course – fabulous desserts and dishes, you must not miss any morning with Rachel.

Whether you are a mom to be, or whether you already have a few children to tend to, “Mommy Talk” will help make your life as a mommy just a bit easier. Tune into the “Mommy Talk” radio show every Friday at 11 PM Eastern Standard Time in order to hear Jeanine turn on the mom-centric charm.

Mommy's Getaway

A mother's work is never done. But the "Mommy's Getaway" radio show is here to help.

The show is a natural extension of the Mommy's Getaway blog (www.mommysgetaway.com), which was created to give mothers the answers and support they need, providing them with informative articles, helpful parenting tips, fresh recipes, and a community all their own.

Tamara Pruessner, the creator of the Mommy's Getaway blog, hosts the radio show, bringing her own personal experiences as a mother of two children to each and every 60-minute broadcast. A native of Tuscon, Arizona, Tamara's goal is to help mothers deal with the daunting pressures of raising children and juggling a professional and personal life. Tamara hopes mothers working together and sharing their own personal stories and parenting philosophies will improve everyone's outlook, the power of the group increasing the strength of the individual.

Recent "Mommy's Getaway" broadcasts have run the gamut, tackling such serious topics as spousal abuse and domestic violence to more pleasing aspects of motherhood like recipes for homemade baby food and discovering relaxing hobbies to relieve daily stress. Tamara also interviewed Jennifer Laycock of the Lactivist Blog, discussing Lactivisim and the unique issues facing breastfeeding mothers.

Upcoming shows of "Mommy's Getaway" will feature discussions on how celebrities and their poor fashion choices influence young girls and how to select your own proper working attire. On August 25, author Sandy Jones will also visit to talk her and her daughter Marcie's new book, "Great Expectations: Baby's First Year."

"Mommy's Getaway" can be heard live every Saturday at 5PM EST.

Role Mommy

Yvette Corporon and Beth Feldman met in 1998 when they were both working in the entertainment business; Yvette was a news producer and Beth a publicist. Over the years, the two friends have become mothers, having two children each, and have learned the unique sometimes overwhelming burden of mixing parenthood with a professional career. Seeing each other juggle the various personal and business demands, Yvette and Beth realized they were each other's role model or, more precisely, role mommy. A great idea was born.

Hoping to help themselves and other mothers through the trying times, Yvette and Beth started RoleMommy.com, a parenting web site based on experience and not supposed expert advice. While the site offers parenting news and an assortment of other valuable info and resources, its main purpose is to help mothers, and even fathers, make it through each day, providing a friendly place to gather and exchange parenting experiences and humorous mishaps about balancing a family and career. Yvette and Beth have even created a line of clothing and jewelry perfect for Role Mommies everywhere, with T-shirts boasting such slogans as "Bedtime Is for Babies," "I Need a Playdate," and "I Don't Do Cupcakes!"

A natural addition to the successful web site, the "Role Mommy" radio show continues the noble work, providing busy parents with funny stories and parenting tips from celebrities, authors, and everyday working men and women. And don't forget to check out Yvette and Beth's new book, "Peeing in Peace: Tales and Tips for Type-A Moms."
