On the same day as the LA premiere of Malachi’s brand new Disney movie Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires, the Barton Fam (Felicia, Loren, and Malachi) takes you further behind the scenes than you’ve ever been before!

From epic fails to hard-won lessons, unseen footage to tear-filled reflections...we’re wrapping up Season 1 of MOMager with honesty, heart, and a lot of laughs.

Plus...Malachi catches us up on rehearsing for a 44 city arena tour!

We’re talking:
