Plus, Miranda spills the beans about a recent trip downtown that cost her a new tire and a phone call with the Mayor. Melanie informs us about the three types of Pink Eye and how to best prevent this crusty, goopy illness. Next up, Miranda discusses the many benefits of reading with your children on a regular basis. From regulated hormones to better cognitive performance, there's a lot of pros to turning the pages! Settle in with a nice eye mask and let's laugh and learn together this week on the 4M Podcast!
