Jeanette Donnarumma came to Mom O’Clock straight from a two-week shore vacation with her family, and by day 10, she was more than ready to talk to some adults. After 17 years behind the scenes at the Rachael Ray Show, this Emmy-winning culinary producer has turned her expertise into her own brand, Jeanette Made It, while raising her kids and creating content full-time. We got into what really happens when you’re vacationing with your entire family, including tiny rentals, rainy days, and the desperate need for a minute alone. Jeanette also admitted that despite knowing more about food than most of us ever will, her kids are still eating mac and cheese and dino nuggets because sometimes it’s just not worth the argument. We talked about making the jump from television to social media, how she landed major partnerships, and why she thinks your air fryer might deserve to be kicked off the counter. Of course, we also had to discuss our favorite summer mom survival strategy, because sometimes dinner is the only excuse you need to disappear for a few minutes. We could have kept talking all day, so consider this your warning that Part Two is coming.

Welcome back! In this episode, we’re sharing some of the strangest stories and questions that have come up lately. We start with a very weird chicken finger, honey mustard, and puffy sticker situation that somehow gets worse the more we explain it. Then we get into the story of a missing engagement ring that caused a major search along a state highway before turning up somewhere nobody expected. We also decided to share some of the things we’ve been Googling and asking AI lately, and honestly, some of these questions should probably have stayed private. From questionable toddler sleep habits to oddly specific searches about poop, we really covered a lot of ground. We also read some of the responses we got to our most random questions, including one that left us with even more questions than answers. Plus, we want to know what you’ve been searching, so leave your weirdest Google search in the comments. And let us know what you think of the new intro!

Get your hiking shoes (or just take them off completely) and let's climb these parenting hills we will absolutely die on! As seasoned moms, we are lowkey throwing milestone timelines out the window and just letting our kids grow at their own pace. In this episode, we go back and forth on our our strict household rules like why we stand ten toes down on "no shoes in the house" and why we will gladly make our kids a second dinner of cereal at 7:30 PM. We also discuss why escaping the house with our little monsters is always better than staying home, our realistic takes on daily screen time, and our hardcore stance on why you should never share toys if you can just leave them in the car. Plus, we get into the messy reality of banned household items like slime and Play-Doh, the absolute safety necessity of cutting grapes forever, and why you should never wake a sleeping baby under any circumstance. Finally, we even test ChatGPT to see how well it knows our personal pet peeves (spoiler alert: it called us out for being late). What crazy parenting hill do you die on?

Welcome back to Mom O’Clock! Today we’re getting into everything from a creepy surprise hidden inside a brand new Sephora package to the absolute chaos that is our social media algorithms. I still cannot believe I opened a sealed package and found a bug inside, and we need answers.

We’re also talking about the weirdest corners of TikTok and how our feeds somehow reveal way too much about us. From furries and doll moms to family influencers, organization hacks, and the random things that somehow end up on our For You Pages, we’re breaking down the internet rabbit holes we never expected to fall into.

Plus, we’re sharing the hilarious and questionable memes, health videos, and random things our husbands send to our group chat. We also talk about the TikTok purchases that actually ended up being worth it, including the organizer that convinced me to finally get my daughter’s Barbie collection under control.

So if you’ve ever wondered what your algorithm says about you, fallen into a strange TikTok rabbit hole, or just need a laugh about the chaos of motherhood, this episode is probably for you.

In this episode of Mom O’Clock, we’re talking about the people who watch every Instagram Story but never like, comment, or engage. We share our honest thoughts on silent support, social media engagement, and whether simply viewing someone’s content really counts as supporting them.

We also discuss why people choose not to interact with content, the pressure to maintain a certain online aesthetic, and how social media algorithms actually work. Throughout building our businesses, we’ve learned that some of the biggest supporters can be complete strangers, while others may cheer you on more quietly.

We dive into the many reasons people hesitate to engage online from comparison and insecurity to simply not realizing how much a like, comment, share, or save can help a creator. If you’ve ever wondered why people watch your content without interacting or you’ve questioned what support really looks like on social media, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to another episode of Mom O'Clock! We kick things off with the ultimate question: would we parent, discipline, and behave the exact same way if absolutely no one was watching us? From speed-cleaning the house before playdates to playing a sassy game of "Would You Admit This", we confess all of our biggest parenting secrets and shortcut methods. Finally, we wrap up by sharing the things we swore we would absolutely never do as parents- like restaurant screen time and co-sleeping, but now do all the time.

Is it Mom O'Clock yet? Heck yeah, it is! Welcome back to another episode, where we are running our mouths about the wild world of toddler discipline and navigating opposite parenting styles. This time we are exploring the daily struggle of trying to stay on the same page with our husbands, especially when they decide 9:00 PM is the perfect time for a Home Depot run and a backyard wood-sawing session right outside the bedroom window. From handling toddler tantrums, biting, and sharing drama to the dreaded "don't tell daddy" secrets, we are laying it all out there. We even rapid-fire how we'd react to kids coloring on the walls, throwing nuggets, or turning a glass table into a permanent Sharpie art project. Spoiler alert: one of us has the patience of a saint, and the other is ready to send the kids to "prison" by age five. We are completely open about our struggles and genuinely want to hear your best parenting hacks, so grab a drink, subscribe, and tell us how you handle the madness in your own house! Mom O'Clock out!
