Schools either back in session or about to be all over the country, but we’re still in the middle of a pandemic. So what should we do when our children’s health and safety are on the line? The Momtourage has all the same concerns you do, so we’ve decided to chat with some experts to help us make the best decisions for each of our families. In this second part of a two-part series we’re calling “Schools Out for COVID,” we’re first catching up with Hilaria Baldwin, author, host of the "Mom Brain" podcast, and mindful mama at an Osmo Digital Event where we're asking her about screen time in a learn-at-home world. Then we're chatting with Jessica, the woman behind the Instagram influencer account @ThisSeasonsGold and an educator and founding school board member, as well as Valerie Chandler Meskouris, a mom of multiples advocating for legislation for children with different needs. While these episodes won't make a decision for you, we hope they'll give you all the information and viewpoints you’ll need to figure out what works best for you and your family.

Have you ever wondered what the polite way is to handle, well, any situation? Yeah, us too. In case you haven't noticed sometimes we have the manners of a very ballsy toddler. But that's ok, today we have on Evie and Sara, another best friend mom duo and hosts of the podcast "Modern Manners for Moms and Dads", because they've LITERALLY written the book on it! We're going to ask them all of our adult centric behavioral questions like, "is it ok to reprimand someone else's child?" and "how do I say no to hanging out with a friend who's just not exercising Covid precautions?". Plus, we discover how fun manners can actually be when Evie and Sarah are showing you the way. But as always we discuss the weeks Tits and Shits, and share the things that got us through this week in parenting with #SwagBag.
