I'm back, baby! So excited to be recording again! For this episode, you can call us Moms and Their Poetry ;)  In this episode, I read and review pieces of Tupac Shakur's poetry book, "The Rose That Grew From Concrete." I am stoked to give you something for your ears to munch on. These poems are *chef's kiss* (as expected.. It's Pac), and I'm so glad I thought to look for this book and share it with you guys. It feels good to be back in action! 

Choo Choo!! All aboard the wonderful, fantastic Kate Bush train everyone is on since the newest season of Stranger Things. We're all for it. Some of us have known that amazing song for quite some years, but the newest re-emerging of that absolute jam inspired the hostess to take a trip through it's album; Hounds of Love! She chose some of her favorites to explore, and we invite you to take the journey to a magical and whimsical world of ethereal discovery in the newest episode of MATM. 

A lot of the information and facts in this episode were sourced from Wikipedia, Google Search Sites, and the EMI records Website.
