We have some great news! We will be making all of our channels more robust over the course of the next few weeks. For a few days, you may experience our video shows loading more slowly (our audio shows should be unaffected). We will be doing everything possible to minimize interruption of service to our viewers and listeners. We are looking forward to greeting the new year in a big, bold manner with lots of new features. And, we will be engaging our listeners and viewers in many new and different ways! We appreciate you being a continued part of our growing MommyCast family and thank you for your patience through this transition!
Happy New Year!
Paige and Gretchen
Today, we have the pleasure of talking to Dr. Jim from HealthBuzz! Dr. Jim teaches us about all things flu – symptoms, prevention, where the flu shot comes from – you name it! Its flu season, so we all need to be concerned about how to keep ourselves and family healthy! This show is brought to you by AsthmaKidCare.com. Our song is This Time by The Crash Moderns. Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!
AsthmaKidCare Tip: Inhaling cold winter air can provoke asthma symptoms, so be sure to cover your child’s nose and mouth when he or she is outside. Find more tips to reduce exposure to asthma triggers at AsthmaKidCare.com.
