87. 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.
