Moon Frye, who has made a mildly successful adult career for herself as a "mommy blogger," (check out her thoughts on child-rearing here) and author (her parenting book, "Happy Chaos: From Punky to Parenting and My Perfectly Imperfect Adventures in Between" is due this summer), was tapped by Kraft to host the series of two to four minute webisodes, which promise "your daily fix of everything that matters to you."
