Hey everybody, just a couple of housekeeping things before we get started today.

First, and this one is very simple, it's something you can do right now if you're listening

on your phone or tablet or computer.

If you have not done this already, I want you to go to iTunes and subscribe to the longest

shortest time.

I want you to do this even if iTunes is not how you listen to podcasts.

This helps us to rise in iTunes ranks and it makes it easier for new people to find

the show.

And while you're there, please rate us and write us a review.

Next I want to make sure that you know about our upcoming event in Chicago, speed dating

for mom friends.

Chicago is one of my very favorite cities I used to live there.

So if you live in Chicago now, come meet me at the Graften Pub in Lincoln Square on April

9th.

We'll eat snacks, we will drink mimosas, and best of all, we'll make some new friends.

And if you're a new mom or any mom at all, I know you do not have time to make new friends.

So come let us help you make that easier.

Tell your Chicago friends to sign up.

We are thinking of this event as a pilot and the more people who come to it, the more

likely we are to bring speed dating for mom friends to your city.

So Chicagoans, book your sitter now or tell your partner that you are going to need

them on Kid Duty April 9th from 10 to noon.
