This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation.

This episode is brought to you by Name Bubbles. It is back to school season and you know what that means.

Lots of items are heading to school and they're not always necessarily coming back. They're either headed to the lost and found, they're left on the school bus, their friends take them home thinking they're theirs.

How can we prevent this from happening? Well, I have just the thing, and it is called name bubbles. It is a mom

founded and mom-owned brand made in a small town in upstate New York. These are durable,

waterproof name labels for kids stuff, including lunch boxes, water bottles, backpacks, clothing, you name it.

They have something to put your child's name on it. So it comes back home. These will be staying on

long term because they are dishwasher safe and laundry safe. They're not only for school. They're

also great for daycare, sports, camps, anywhere where things tend to go missing. With children, that's most

places. So save yourself from having to order things that you already purchased this year.

Welcome to the mom room podcast. My name is Renee Rina and I am definitely the mom friend you have always wanted.

Okay, this is a mom room first. I had to get the F out of the house because I was going to lose my mind. So I drove to a nearby school and I'm just in the parking lot and I was like, screw it. I'll put the camera up in the car somehow and just do it in the

car. So here I am. Hopefully everything works. We'll see. I'm expecting like someone to come knock on my door and be like, excuse me, what are you doing?

Anyways, this, this is my little story about why the flexible parent starts, they have, you know, they make it through a few days like superstar parent and by like

the third or fourth day it's just like okay i have nothing left like i my patience my desire and

motivation to make like crafts on Pinterest.

It just all to play games, to be patient and answer a million questions and make a million snacks.

And I just, I start to lose it.

And what happened with us, it's not only that. It's not only the actual physical and mental child care.
