September 08, 2020 EP19: Birthday Parties and House Shopping, with Renee Reina
EP19. Renee chats about Milo's second birthday party and his continued obsession with Woody from Toy Story. She admits that she regrets busting out all the Toy Story toys for the party. It definitely bit her in the ass post-party.

Renee and her husband are newly house shopping and she quickly came to understand why parents make huge life decisions (like where to live) based on what's best for their children. She wants a rural farmhouse but, it's looking like suburbia is in her future.

September 06, 2020The Mom Room Book Club - Aug 2020 - How To Be An Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
Book Club Episode: Renee and Jen chat about How To Be An Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi.

Some of the topics they touch on include; assimilation, generalizing individual behaviour to an entire race, microaggressions, gender racism, and much more!

"Being neutral or, not seeing colour, helps racism continue. You can only be racist or antiracist. There is nothing in-between. Being neutral helps the oppressor, not the victim. After George Floyd was murdered, something changed inside of me. I realized that not seeing colour does more harm than good." - Renee

August 25, 2020 EP15. Toys and Tantrums, with Renee Reina
EP15. As parents we want our kids to love their toys and be excited when we buy them new ones. It's all fun and games until your toddler wants to have a bath with their stuffed Toy Story dolls and then sleep with them... while they're soaking wet. We can't win as parents. You want to buy them everything you know they are going to love. But, if they love it TOO much, you're f*cked.

In this episode Renee discusses her son's obsession with Toy Story. Of course it's cute to watch him love his toys, but "toddler love" often turns ugly and ends in a full blown meltdown. Can you say unhealthy attachment?? She also shares toys and tantrums stories from listeners.

Get ready for a laugh. And, if you're coming up to the toddler age, let this episode be a warning.
