For those of you who don’t see me while I am at home doing those never ending mundane tasks…laundry, dishes, cleaning, picking up TOYS, etc…you don’t realize how much I love my iPod. It’s nothing fancy. It’s too old on which to watch movies or tv shows. It’s strictly audio. That’s all I need. It saves my sanity on most days. While I do love music, and listen to it quite a bit, it is the podcasts and audio books that save me. I put one ear phone in and leave the other ear uncovered (just in case the kids are killing each other…). I can be in my own little “adult conversation” world and it is fabulous!

Heath and I (yes, after much negotiation, I talked him into listening to one audio book, now he is hooked!) have several series we listen to on audio books. They are great…but I listen to them faster than we get our monthly credit for new ones. It is the podcasts that fulfill the rest of my time. Here are some of my favorites (I get them all from iTunes…and they are FREE!!! Go to the podcast tab at the top of the page.)

• Stuff You Should Know
• Stuff You Missed in History Class
• Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know
• Stuff Your Mom Never Told You
• This American Life (Ashley King got me addicted to this one)
• What Really Matters (This is not useless info…lots of “mom” stuff)

I am sure there are more wonderful ones out there, I just haven’t found them yet. If you know of more, PLEASE share!
