Come join us each week as we dive into topics about the joys and struggles of motherhood. By no means are we experts. We're practically flying by the seat of our pants, or should I say mom jeans? On this podcast You will find a judgment free zone where we discuss not only the best parts of being a mom but the not so glamorous parts too. You can expect unfiltered real mom talk, humor, grace, and a sense of sisterhood. What makes our podcast unique is that we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to motherhood, and we are not going to pretend that we know everything; because we definitely don’t. Thank you for tuning in!
Join us from the begnning or jump in wherever make since for you. We're following the natual progression of motherhood starting with the big question of why or why not kids. Then we move throughout the journey from conception, infertility, pregnancy, labor, newborns, year 1, and all the adventures of parenthood beyond. Oh and in each episode we tackle a "hot topic" happening in one of our lives! 🔥
