We are Carly and Emily, two millennial moms attempting to navigate our way through this crazy journey of motherhood. Carly, stay at home and girl mom, and Emily, a full time working and boy mom, hope to provide you with laughter, love, and normalcy to those everyday weird, gross, and awkward things we take on. We want you to own and LOL at all of the messes motherhood comes with. Our journey into motherhood has just begun and we hope you find entertainment, community, and love in taking this ride alongside us as our families grow. Our goal is to provide navigation around social pressures, judgmental outsiders, and overbearing family members so that you can be proud of the mother you are. We hope that after listening to our podcast you will laugh with us and feel a little less embarrassed when your toddler throws a temper tantrum in the middle of Target, your infant throws up on your great aunt Sue, or your nipples leak through three shirts in one day. Your mess is welcome here, sister! You are not alone!
