It’s Monday, moms! Time to clock into your weekly meeting. Today, Caroline is joined by Liz Kirkpatrick, speech-language pathologist, pediatric feeding therapist, and founder of The Feeding Academy. Together they chat about taking mealtimes from stressful to successful, helping picky eaters gain confidence, and a viral mom hack that will save every mom serious prep time.
In the Break Room Brief, the two discuss Ed Sheeran’s "iPad kid" status, Barbie’s new athlete dolls, Dancing with the Stars' Disney Night, and the return of Reading Rainbow with TikTok’s Mychal the Librarian.
Then it’s on to the Mom Hack Monday spotlight—complete with the ultimate Amazon price-tracking secret—and a fantasy draft showdown in the Mom Hall of Fame: Mount Snackmore Edition, where they pick the all-time toddler snack MVPs (get ready to add a few new finds to your cart!)
🎧 Tune in for laughs, mom hacks you’ll actually use, and expert-backed feeding tips to make dinner time a little calmer this week
