When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, three members of Playhouse Disney’s new show, “The Imagination Movers,” lost their homes.  Paige and Gretchen talked with Movers Smitty and Dave about how the group rallied around their project and in the midst of devastation made their dreams come true!  Their commitment to children and their community is pretty inspirational.

Most new moms aren’t gonna shed the lbs as fast as Hollywood moms Reese Witherspoon or Kate Hudson, but they can still look great while they are on their way!  Gretchen and Paige visited with television stylist and makeup artist, Kim Foley, and she said the reality for most moms is that they won’t fit into their pre-pregnancy clothes for awhile.  Watch the show to get her tips and advice for looking your best after baby, and avoiding the dreaded “frumpy mom” look.

Almost every parent has had the no fun job of dealing with a child who is a “picky eater.”  With that in mind, Gretchen and Paige had the pleasure of interviewing Julia Mutter, a registered Dietician, who gave them some pointers on how to broaden the culinary horizons, and improve the health of our little ones.  For more help with your picky eater, check out these websites:

Isn’t it amazing how much time our kids spend on computers?  It would probably be even more if we’d let them!  While technology is awesome, it can be difficult to know how best to monitor the websites our children are visiting. Are they are age appropriate? Do they meet our individual standards?  In this show, Paige talks about her ongoing efforts to control where her kids go on the internet, and her passion for keeping them safe.  The Mommies know how hard it is to keep up with everything, so Paige and Gretchen are sharing some of their favorite sites for kids below.  Happy browsing!
