Mommin’ ain’t easy, friends! The days can be long while the years are incredibly short. There may be days you feel like you’re not doing it “right” (really, who is?). Or that you’re the reason your kid(s) are going to be messed up (not true!). Just give us a few minutes to remind you that you’re not alone and you are without a doubt, doing it well. Darlene shares insight as a mom of two grown daughters while Julie, recently a single mom, confesses some of her mom guilt. We also take some time to talk about the annual celebration of Mother’s Day. You may love it or dread it; your family might be the one to make it challenging. However you approach this day, kick your feet up Mom, this one’s for you. If you’re not a mom, share this one with someone who is, she likely needs the boost!
