Hi, I'm Zivie Owens, and you're listening to the award-winning podcast, Moms, don't

have time to read books. I just wanted to encourage you all to watch some of my IG live

videos on Instagram. On Instagram, my accounts are at Zibi Owens and at moms don't have time to read books.

But in case I haven't told you, which it occurred to me that maybe I haven't, on Instagram every day at 11 o'clock Eastern time, I interview authors live from my at Zibi Owens account.

And to watch it, you just have to open up Instagram.

And if you're following me, when I'm live, it'll show up on the upper left of your screen and the story section and it'll say live and there'll be a little red circle. So every day, Monday to Friday, I do an IG live show. Check it out. I do one to four authors a week. Sometimes the shows become these podcasts. And I also do one on Sundays at two with my husband, Kyle,

and we talk about step parenting and life and all the rest. So if you haven't watched an IG Live, please do. And also, I have a virtual book club that I hope you know about. This is all on my website, by the way, Z-B-O-Ns.com. But check out my virtual book club, which is through a site called bookclubs with a Z, B-O-O-K-C-L-U-B-Z.com. And no, I didn't make that up after my name, but actually it just worked out perfectly. So go to bookclubs.com, and I'm actually the featured book club on their homepage. So you can just click and you're invited to sign up. I have amazing guests every week, and that meets Tuesdays at 2 p.m. Eastern time via Zoom.

So please don't miss out on all these other offerings for all of you guys who are loyal listeners to moms don't have time to read books. And always feel free to check out my website at zibbyowens.com to find out what I'm up to and what

else you can do. Oh, and also sign up for my newsletter. In my newsletter every week, I give

updates on the latest, the book recommendations, all my podcasts, all my IG lives, my book

club, and any other fun information, plus usually some list or article or something that I think would be helpful.

So also sign up for my mailing list if you get a chance.

Okay, that's enough for me.

Now go listen to this episode.

Today's sponsor is Blue Land Cleaning.

Blue Land is an eco-friendly cleaning products company on a mission to eliminate single-use plastic packaging. They offer their products

as a set of reusable bottles, along with cleaning tablets that you simply add to warm water to make

a full bottle of hand soap or cleaning solution, also founded by a mom with a three-year-old son.

My kids loved making all these products with me, and now we have these amazing glass bottles and all different color hues that make cleaning a little bit more fun, especially during quarantine.

I had the best time talking to Leslie Gray Streeter, who is an award-winning columnist and pop culture critic for the Palm Beach Post, where she has worked since October of 2002.

She's a graduate of the College of

Journalism and the University of Maryland College Park, and she wrote a beautiful, happy, sad,
