Newly Addicted to Manic Moms - I love listening to Manic Moms while I am at work. I can listen and take phone calls (have my zune earphone in one ear, wireless headset on the other ear). I would compare your show to "The Mommies" for anyone that remembers that tv show. Thank you for having such a wonderful show!! Karen G

This is my favorite podcast - I love parenting podcasts because they are a great way to get information on parenting while doing other stuff (working out, cleaning, etc.). This is by far my favorite podcast. Erin and Christine are hysterical so I am laughing the entire podcast while getting a ton of great tips. The tips are non-judgmental and not preachy BUT great information you can actually use. I love their down to earth style and sense of humor. I highly recommend checking it out!

New respect for manic moms - My wife has been raving about Manic Mommies for months so I finally decided to see what it was all about. This podcast has given me new respect (yes I’m now a fan as well) for working manic moms. The hosts are hilarious and no B.S. (which includes dishing on their husbands).

The trials and tribulations, joys and triumphs of Erin and Kristin - two working mothers trying to do it all, and do it all well (or just good enough)! Shows feature honest, funny chats about motherhood, pop culture, and the crazy act of balancing work and family.

MM 131: Getting Center'd - www.ManicMommies.com - (508) 644-8434

Summer is almost over (sigh) and a mom's thoughts turn towards getting organized for the school year. To help us get started, we welcome Jennifer Dulski, working mom of two and co-founder and the chief executive officer at Centerd.com, a web site designed to help groups (big groups, small groups, friends, volunteers, etc) get on the same page. While the Manic Mommies love the idea of getting more organized, one of us (Kristin) is worried it's going to be harder than ever to avoid volunteering at the school.

Kristin's back from vacation and the summer is almost over! The kids will be back in school before we know it. This week we're joined by Archivist Alison, a professional archivist who provides great advice on how to clear out last year's precious memories to make room for all the new stuff to come. Alison also advises us on how to preserve photos for the long term and explains why being a hoarder or a purger is perfectly OK.

Our guest this week is Michelle Nicholasen, mother of 5 and co-author of the book "I Brake for Meltdowns: How to Handle the Most Exasperating Behavior of your 2- to 5-year-old."

Learn some new tips for dealing with the tattler, the devil in the backseat and how to encourage sharing. The book is packed with practical advice for real life scenarios. We are big fans.
