Mom Friends Saving the Day!

"It seems like overnight, Josie's size one diaper has become a speedo." This was me asking for help from my two oracles, Trish and Anna, a few months ago. I received an incredibly generous year's worth supply of diapers as a gift and I needed to know about sizing. This was also 8:00 AM.

Within seconds, I had multiple replies from both of them. The thing is: between these two ladies, they know EVERYTHING about parenting and having a wee babe in our community. I have never asked an unanswered question. Also, because their little ones are just slightly older than Jo, they feed me wine as I whine can reassure me that it's okay if Josie refuses to sleep/punches me in the face as we nurse/has dry skin/experiences multiple diaper blowouts.

They should do a podcast, because they are as entertaining as they are informed. Even though I am technically older than both of them, when it comes to parenting I might as well be 16 and Pregnant, except in this case it's 16 and Parent.

We have an ongoing text string and a few weeks ago we were projecting career possibilities and personalities. According to Anna, our resident writer:

Josie: Models with Victoria's Secret but then decides to go to medical school
Harper: Earns her MBA and works for McKinsey while running a side hustle Etsy shop that takes off
Lucy: Owns a surf shack on the beach but returns to school to become a physical therapist

This is my cell phone. All day long. Wouldn't you dedicate a blog to these two, too??

We also hang out in person! Anna and Lucy recently helped me celebrate my blizzard birthday.

During my exceptionally brief maternity leave, Trish and I would take morning walks which kept me sane.

I love when the girls get together. They take the best photos!
"Birthday babes"
"Mittens and Mocs"
"Ladies in Red"
With Valentine's Day coming up, I would be remiss to not publicly declare my love for these two + their incredible babes! It will be so much fun to see who they become.
