We’re not professionals, just two moms keeping it real and leaving the expert advice to, well… the experts. Tune in weekly to hear all about how we juggle our daily

We’re wrapping up the year the only way we know how, with a completely raw conversation between two best friends, recorded on video too, just to give you a little more as we close out season 2.

Always the snoring.Then we shift into why girls’ nights are basically essential self-care. Even when you don’t feel like going, they somehow turn into the best nights, and ours absolutely did. We give a full recap of
