So... have you heard of this thing called TikTok? Well, the Anchormoms are just now discovering it and have a lot to learn.
This week, we chat with a local mom and daughter team who have used the powerful social media tool to turn their struggling business into a HUGE success story. We're talking hundreds of thousands of followers online, products that sell out in hours, and a growing group of employees. The business?? Something else the Anchormoms don't know much about...

Boo! Actually, parents and kids alike are saying boo-hoo this Halloween because there’s nothing like a pandemic to put a real scare into this year’s festivities.
With the holiday all but canceled in 2020, the Anchormoms bemoan Halloweens of yesteryear. What to do instead? Is it safe to even consider Trick-or-Treating? The moms weigh the risk.
Also, date night? Is that still a thing as Covid rages? One mom argues there is something better than time with your spouse: time with yourself. The ladies take on how, even during a pandemic, alone time is like a mythical idea that doesn’t really exist…unless you’re a man (than it does, obviously).
Lastly, parenting advice from a non-parent? No sirree. This really does happen apparently. A non-parent tweets her opinion about kids’ menus and the lack of variety and the Internet goes wild. When and why you should offer advice as a parent. But if it’s not solicited, the moms all agree: just don’t.

It’s another podcast, another husband. Katie’s hubs, Brian, steps up to the mic this week…and let’s just say he’s #blessed with the gift of gab.
Husband bashing as a conversation starter? The ladies (and gentleman) weigh in on why this practice isn’t a great one, but perhaps a necessary part of mom bonding. Brian might disagree.
Also, why the importance of a good father in a child’s life is only now being studied, and why men’s habits before conception matter too.
Plus, tackling the “Karen meme”. The name is now used as a symbol or white privilege. Our very own Karen talks about the unfairness of it all. Lastly, “man skills” in Brian’s “Dad’s the Word.” Why the moms say…can we call them “people skills”???

It’s another “AnchorDAD” episode with Karen’s husband, Gregory.
Greg picked not one but TWO news articles for this week’s episode, which earns him an overachiever award. Now…if only he was that committed to laundry. Perhaps that’s another episode entirely.
This week the moms and dad take on “The Myth of the Lazy Father” and wonder aloud if this article is accurate or just written by…you guessed it…a man. There’s a lot of numbers and stats in this one, which reminds the moms why they’re in TV, not, say, accounting.
Plus, a new trend! Single folk are having kids with strangers in order to have a co-parent. Yes, this is a trend, at least that’s what the NY Post says. And yes, our hosts are a smidge skeptical, but also curious.
Lastly, a teachable moment during a pandemic. What we’ve learned about education during COVID-19.

It’s another coffee date episode! No news articles, just straight up gab (you’re welcome).
The AnchorMOMS break down the “AnchorDAD” episodes thus far. It seems Ingrid’s husband “accidentally” listened to his episode and he’s getting rave reviews from his mother-in-law. He’s still speaking to Ingrid, so the moms consider this a win.
Up next, hear Karen’s husband in next week’s episode. He’s not making Karen sleep on the couch. So, the recording must have gone okay.
The ladies also discuss some choice shows they’re currently watching, including a re-run of a game show and crime series. Both have them waxing nostalgic for their childhoods.
Lastly, Ingrid figures out she’s done something right when it comes to parenting during a pandemic.

A truly momentous occasion! Ingrid’s husband joins the AnchorMOMS as a guest host. We take a trip down memory lane, as John and Ingrid fondly (or…ahem…maybe not so fondly) recount their days as a TV news photographer-reporter team long before love, marriage and two kids in a baby carriage.
Do parents bear the brunt of responsibility for how kids turn out? A therapist says no. Our hosts aren’t so sure. One thing is for sure: no one wants to be responsible for their kids’ dysfunction. Responsible for their Nobel Peace Prize? Yes, please.
You and your partner agreed you’d have two kids. But then life happens (including a global pandemic!) and one of you says you’re “one and done.” A husband’s multi-layered reasons for not having more children and the debate on whether it’s fair to his wife.
Real advice from real parents on raising kids. Dads share their tidbits on toddlers and here’s a hint: just go about your business and ignore the meltdowns.
It’s quiz time! John submits to a series of questions about Ingrid. How many does he get right? A lot! And the moms (perhaps NOT surprisingly) are surprised.

The AnchorMOMS have a coffee date…via Skype.
Listen in as they discuss a glamorous (well, for at least one of them) photoshoot to promote mask-wearing.
Also, a pediatrician visit during a global pandemic. Katie nearly doesn’t make it through the doctor’s door, and it’s NOT because of a cranky toddler.
Plus, does your 1-year-old snack on chicken wings? Ingrid’s does. Karen finds this delightful and the other moms…less so.
Lastly, will the “AnchorDADS” finally make a podcast appearance? It’s a highly contested debate. The pros and cons of letting the husbands share a mic.

A trend that seems to be taking the baby party world by storm...but the one who started them says, "Who cares what gender the baby is?"
& what does your baby registry say about you as a person? What will the family think?? OMG, is a $95 digital thermometer standard or not? Wait a minute...who really cares?
