Synopsis
We are two hot mess military spouse mamas that hope to help other military spouses defeat the loneliness and isolation of being in the military world with some humor, great conversation, decent advice, and encouragement. Between the two of us we have a blended family, a veteran, a hairstylist, an RN, numerous deployments, moving due to orders, history of divorce, one is a city girl and one is a country girl, being stay at home manas and working mamas, and last but not least we both value our faith first and foremost. So girl throw in your headphones grab a cup of coffe or a glass of wine, do the dishes, go for a walk, enjoy our podcast during the numerous hours you may spend in your car each day being a chauffeur, or whatever it is and enjoy this journey with us. Think of us as your portable friends that promise not to judge you and always laugh at you as well as with you ;-)
