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.

trusted by parents nationwide. Welcome to the mom room. It is the Mondays Monday ever as I record

this. I know you're listening on Thursday, but bear with me. It's Solar Eclipse Day. So all the schools are closed. Luckily, our situation is

such that, does that make sense that sentence? Milo's school goes until 1230, so I'm going to pick him up

at lunchtime. But still, so I'm trying to crush work this morning and then I go pick him up and we have the little glasses to watch the eclipse. But

then I was seeing people online be like they're nervous to watch the eclipse with their child

because are they going to keep the glasses on? What if they take them off and stare into the sun?

Do they go blind? Like what is the situation there? So I feel like if older kids, first of all, with regard to the schools, I feel like older kids should have, I don't know, because then I heard people say that you're putting the responsibility onto the schools if something actually does happen and a child doesn't listen and they

look into the sun. But maybe for older kids, you view it as a class and then younger kids,

they play inside and you close the freaking curtains, you know? I don't remember, like my mom

messaged me this morning. She's like, what did we ever do back in the day with solar eclipses? Like, these have been happening forever. So I don't know. It's interesting how the schools are closed, but I understand they want to give kids the opportunity to see it because it's such a rare thing that occurs. But at the same time, parents also work, you know? I'm lucky. I can take the rest of the day off, even though it's like the busiest week of my life. But some people, they found out just recently that the schools wouldn't be open today, you know? Good Lord. So anywho, hopefully the solar eclipse goes smoothly. We have our little glasses, but now I'm like, is he going to keep them on? I'm just going to tell him, like, this is very serious. You have to listen to Mommy. I also don't know where the sun is. I think for us, it passes by at like 3.15 or something in the afternoon. And I don't know where the sun is in the sky at that time. Maybe it's going to be behind our house and we're not even going to be able to see it,
