Reinventing work/life balance for moms

  • Where Moms Laugh with other Moms!

    Does it bother you that the only way to communicate with your teen in his presence is to text him?

  • Have you been wearing your workout clothes all day and not worked out?

    Do you count yoga pants as a normal part of your wardrobe? You've come to the right place.

  • Have you been forced to hire a tutor?

    This is the place to come and laugh at our (occasional) total lack of ability as mothers!
