Podcast Description
Mom Time TV is a resource for all moms. A safe place to laugh and share, form friendships, compare notes and figure out how to do a better job at the most important job we will ever have. It also is all about talk, stories, what worked, what didn't. Knowing we're not alone and accepting help from each other along the way. Taking refuge in the force rather than the farce. Living the life and loving it, because we're not alone.
