What I Wish I’d Known: The Importance of Mom Friends
The Importance of Mom Friends By Shell Jeanette It’s been almost 8 years since I first became a mom. Three kids later and early motherhood is not much more than a blur of dirty hair and lack of sleep. What I really wish someone had told me was how important it was to go out […]
Soda! Wait, What Wagon Am I On?

What I Wish I’d Known: Angela’s Perspective
You NEED Mom friends. Seriously. And a lot of them. You need them to lean on, share stories with, laugh with, cry with, vent to, go on mom’s night out with, to just be like, “Yep, my kid does that too,” and for the ever important, “I am SO using that with my child!” Get […]
