“I’ve finally found a way to make folding laundry enjoyable… listening to Power of Moms podcasts while I tackle those mountains of clothes! It makes the time fly by and makes matching up socks a pleasure (ok, perhaps I wouldn’t go that far). I love listening to podcasts while making dinner and I think I’ll try listening to a podcast while scrubbing toilets too! I just wanted to say thanks for all you are doing.” –Jeanette Millward
