Hopefully things are starting to slow down around your home now that the holidays are over. How about taking advantage of that and making a New Year's resolution to spend a little more "slow" time together as a family? The Mommies are working on it; Gretchen is focused on family dinner and conversation, and Paige says her family enjoys game time at the end of a busy day. Leave a comment and share what you like to do, or plan to do, to help your family "unplug" from all the distractions and focus on what’s really important—each other!

Paige and Gretchen take some time to answer a few questions from their favorite people, the viewers!

Gretchen had the pleasure of interviewing Billy Ray Cyrus about his support for the Best Foods Sandwich Swap and Share to benefit Feeding America. Now Paige gets to introduce three music videos from his new album Back to Tennessee. Enjoy some great country music with Real Gone, Thrill Billy, and the title track Back to Tennessee! The album is available on itunes here.

Do you remember learning how to drive? Are you ready for your kids to start? Gretchen and Paige both have teenage sons who are taking the wheel and they are two nervous ladies. In this show they're commiserating over the gray hair they've been gifted by their sweet sons and sharing some of the laughs they've had too. If you’re ready to share your driving with a teenager stories we'd love to read them in the comment section at www.mommycast.com.

"Talking with superstar actor and musician Billy Ray Cyrus was ah-mazing," Gretchen says. Not to mention the cred she got with her country music loving husband! Billy Ray joined Mommycast to tell families how they can support Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity, by logging onto facebook at www.facebook.com/hellmanns and making a virtual sandwich. Easy peasy, right? For each sandwich you make, Hellman’s and Best Foods will donate seven lunches to Feeding America!

Billy Ray is on tour right now for his new album, "Back to Tennessee," and fans can also enter to win tickets and a chance to meet him at one of his concerts by bidding at the online auction on ebay.
