Jersey girls are taking over, and we aren't talking about us. Who else is invested Alix Earle’s reality show, Earle Meets World? You know we are!

Jeanette Donnarumma came to Mom O’Clock straight from a two-week shore vacation with her family, and by day 10, she was more than ready to talk to some adults. After 17 years behind the scenes at the Rachael Ray Show, this Emmy-winning culinary producer has turned her expertise into her own brand, Jeanette Made It, while raising her kids and creating content full-time. We got into what really happens when you’re vacationing with your entire family, including tiny rentals, rainy days, and the desperate need for a minute alone. Jeanette also admitted that despite knowing more about food than most of us ever will, her kids are still eating mac and cheese and dino nuggets because sometimes it’s just not worth the argument. We talked about making the jump from television to social media, how she landed major partnerships, and why she thinks your air fryer might deserve to be kicked off the counter. Of course, we also had to discuss our favorite summer mom survival strategy, because sometimes dinner is the only excuse you need to disappear for a few minutes. We could have kept talking all day, so consider this your warning that Part Two is coming.

Welcome back! In this episode, we’re sharing some of the strangest stories and questions that have come up lately. We start with a very weird chicken finger, honey mustard, and puffy sticker situation that somehow gets worse the more we explain it. Then we get into the story of a missing engagement ring that caused a major search along a state highway before turning up somewhere nobody expected. We also decided to share some of the things we’ve been Googling and asking AI lately, and honestly, some of these questions should probably have stayed private. From questionable toddler sleep habits to oddly specific searches about poop, we really covered a lot of ground. We also read some of the responses we got to our most random questions, including one that left us with even more questions than answers. Plus, we want to know what you’ve been searching, so leave your weirdest Google search in the comments. And let us know what you think of the new intro!

Get your hiking shoes (or just take them off completely) and let's climb these parenting hills we will absolutely die on! As seasoned moms, we are lowkey throwing milestone timelines out the window and just letting our kids grow at their own pace. In this episode, we go back and forth on our our strict household rules like why we stand ten toes down on "no shoes in the house" and why we will gladly make our kids a second dinner of cereal at 7:30 PM. We also discuss why escaping the house with our little monsters is always better than staying home, our realistic takes on daily screen time, and our hardcore stance on why you should never share toys if you can just leave them in the car. Plus, we get into the messy reality of banned household items like slime and Play-Doh, the absolute safety necessity of cutting grapes forever, and why you should never wake a sleeping baby under any circumstance. Finally, we even test ChatGPT to see how well it knows our personal pet peeves (spoiler alert: it called us out for being late). What crazy parenting hill do you die on?
