    A little bit about us! Our moms were besties when we were literally in the womb, so we grew up together play Spit on Friday nights until 2 am (our parents would NOT stop talking). We went to the same elementary and middle school, and we cried about boys in high school. But eventually we got married and pregnant together. And now we have left our tech jobs to pursue creative careers. Each episode we catch up on our crazy weeks, we talk about parenting but also pull back the curtain on having your own business, a creative career and juggling it all. We started as family friends, but now? Now we’re friends that are like family.
