Podcast Episode 13: Kristen Chase of Cool Mom Picks
Holiday shopping stressing you out? Kids making you crazy? Having trouble getting to the gym and de-stressing? Need a new show to guiltlessly binge-watch? Girl, this podcast episode with Kristin Chase of CoolMomPicks.com is for you!
Kristin is SO much fun to talk to and so totally real. As CEO and co-publisher of the site plus a single mom of four kids, she not only answers our burning holiday shopping questions (seriously, great gift ideas in the Cool Mom Picks 2016 Holiday Gift Guide!) but she also discusses the genius way she finds time to bond with her tween, how she fits in exercise and stress relief, and what dinner time is really like at her house.
Because we did this interview so recently so that it was timed for the holidays, you won’t hear us FBGs jabbering beforehand — we just go right into the awesome interview. Here are a few quotes from our convo!
