  Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Conversations Live. I'm your host,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Cyrus Webb. Glad you all could join us once again.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: For our radio audience tuning in here in Mississippi and
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: in Mississippi as well as in Atlanta, Georgia, we appreciate
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you guys tuning in at WYAD, 94.1 FM, and WYADonline.com. Also,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: tuning in through our podcast at iHeartRadio and Amazon Music,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we hope you all could be with us as well.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: But I don't have to tell you guys, between school, work,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: extracurricular activities, and household chores, all of us seem to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: have packed calendars, but very little downtime. Here to help
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: us find some practical ways to save some time and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: get organized, we're excited to welcome Erica Suda to our
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: broadcast today. Erica is a journalist and parenting expert and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the author of the book, How to Have a Kid
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and a Life, a Survival Guide. Erica, thank you again
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: for stopping by.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I really appreciate it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Thanks for having me, Cyrus.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: This is one of those things I think all of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: us can benefit from, Erica. What is your go-to tip
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: for managing the household?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, organization is key, and that includes managing
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: the entire household. So as a busy mom myself, preparation
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: saves my sanity, and having the right resources in place
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: helps keep my entire family running smoothly. And that's why
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I'm here to share some great ideas about bringing a
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: little calm to the chaos of everyday family life.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love that. So what is a great way
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to get organized?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Well, for staying organized, I like to have one device
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: that can keep up with my entire day. And that's
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition. It's a versatile
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: device that adapts to the many ways families work, learn, create,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: and unwind throughout the day. And I love the 2-in-1
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: design that lets me switch from laptop to tablet mode.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: So I can type up a family schedule and then
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: use the touchscreen to jot down notes or set up ideas.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: So the Lenovo Aura Edition really helps personalize the PC experience,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: making it easier to stay productive. It's perfect for busy families.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And I think one of the things for all of us,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that's something that the entire family can benefit from, Erica,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: for sure. So, you know, of course, cleanup is one
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of the things all of us have to deal with.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: What's an easy way to cut down on cleanup time
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: around the house?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when you're juggling a busy family schedule, anything that
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: makes cleanup quicker is a win. Delta ProClean spray brings
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: powerful cleaning to the kitchen and shower, making stubborn messes
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: and everyday cleanup easier. In the kitchen, it covers more
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: surface area and helps tackle stuck-on food and residue. And
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: in the shower, the powerful wide fan spray helps power
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: off soap scum and buildup, including in hard-to-reach areas. Both
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: are easy DIY upgrades, which I love. Yes.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I think, you know, as we all are so busy,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: taking care of our health is one of the things
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: we definitely don't want to neglect. With busy fall routines,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: how can families support their digestive wellness, Erica?
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Well, while fall might be a challenging time to keep
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: your gut on track as routines shift, FloraStore, the probiotic
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: strain backed by over 130 clinical studies, offers options for
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: the whole family, including floor store kids, dual action, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: floor store baby. It keeps digestion balanced by helping to
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: flush out unwanted bacteria and boost good bacteria while supporting
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: immune health. It fits seamlessly into everyday life and gives
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: families confidence to spend more time enjoying the season. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: you can find it on Amazon, Walmart, or at your
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: local pharmacy or grocer.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Really good tips.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Erica, do you have any other tips you'd like to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: share with our audience today?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, I am really big on the Sunday afternoon
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: family huddle. It's when me and my husband and kids
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: get together, and we go over everything we have on
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: tap for the week, which is, you know, games, recitals,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: extra practices, late work dinners. And that way we all
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: are aware of things that are going on, and it
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: helps us stay more organized.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Well, Erica, I think all of these are things that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: we can be of benefit from and, of course, be
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: able to share with the rest of our family as well. Again, everyone,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Erica Suter has been our guest, parenting expert and journalist today.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Helping you guys not only to get.
• 4:00

• 4:03
  Speaker 1: have some great tips for all of us that we
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: can be able to use.
