Show Me South County with Kevin Duy

Episode 22 of the Show Me South County Podcast features Jerica Mosello from Milk & My Honey - a high fashion and function clothing and accessories company for nursing moms. This South County based business was "born" from the frustrations Jerica experienced as a new mom while trying to find clothes that made her feel and look her best while also being super functional to nurse her baby.

It was like the post postpartum fashion industry was forcing nursing moms to choose between wearing cute outfits that made them feel great and confident about their bodies, or outfits that made it easy to nurse their babies. There was nothing that combined great fashion with high functionality.

So that's why South County native Jerica Mosello started her passion business, Milk & My Honey.

In this episode you'll hear: 

• Jerica share the full story behind Milk & My Honey
• Why Jerica is so passionate about this business
• What Jerica's biggest challenges are while growing her business
• What her biggest "win" has been so far
• Who Milk & My Honey is made for
• & more

Cheer On The Tigers In Poplar Bluff

One Episode 15 I was joined by Tommy Irwin, the owner of Cloverleaf Sports Lounge in Oakville. Cloverleaf is a great sports bar in South St. Louis County with a fantastic game day atmosphere. They pack 19 big flat screen TVs into a space that's less than 2,000 square feet. So there's not a bad seat in the house when you stop in to catch a game or two.

Everyone Loves Tommy's Balls
Cloverleaf Sports Lounge is quickly becoming known for their signature menu item... BALLS! Tommy talks to us about how he came up with this delicious creation (and why he loves to say "BALLS." 🤣)  Trust me, once you hear all the flavors they have, you're going to be hungry. And you're going to laugh at Tommy talking about them!

Welcome to Episode 14 of the Show Me South County Podcast with Kevin Duy. This episode launched on February 19th. So, it's not exactly Christmastime. But, we currently have about 6-8 inches of snow on the ground and frozen ponds and lakes all across South County. So one could argue that there's definitely a Christmas feel in the cold air!

Best Christmas Light Display In St. Louis 
My guest on today's episode is Jeff Ehlemeyer. Jeff is quickly becoming known as the Affton Christmas Lights and Train Guy. That's because over the last few years Jeff has had one of the best Christmas Light displays in St. Louis. Actually, I wouldn't even call it a display. What Jeff has created in his front yard is a magical Christmas Experience for children young and old.

Christmas Train Rides For Kids 
Jeff loves Christmas and he wanted to go beyond having a cool light display. He wanted to create a memorable experience for kids. For the past two Christmas seasons he has been giving kids free train rides through his Christmas wonderland display at his Affton home.

Donations For Shriner's Children's Hospital 
Jeff accepts donations for the display and train rides and this year he was able to donate nearly $3,000 to the St. Louis Shriner's Children's Hospital - all from the donations he collected in his front yard this past Christmas!

On This Episode 
Jeff shares: 

• Why he was inspired to create such a massive Christmas display
• Where his love of trains came from
• The story behind where he got his Christmas train
• What it meant for him to donate nearly $3000 to Shriners
• What he has planned for Christmas 2021

Thanks for listening!
