In Which We Take A Hiatus (And Talk Back To School Mental Load)

We're starting this episode with a sad announcement: We're taking another hiatus. (Thanks to COVID, remote schooling, 2020 in general...) But before we go, we're downloading all of our thoughts about the mental load of back to school season — especially this year, when many kids (like Amy's!) are still stuck at home, and others (like Virginia's!) are going to school in tents. 

We also discuss: 

• Our favorite lunchbox.
• Amy's exhaustive insulated lunchbag research. 
• And even more exhaustive idea lists for daycare lunches, kindergarten lunches, and disposable lunch gear. 
• Oh and the super cool sandwich sealer! 

In less good news, we mentioned programs like Pandemic EBT, which at recording time, we thought would be re-authorized, but as of writing these show notes, has not, with dire consequences.

So, you know, Vote Biden.
