Mom Best Friend

Laura Perlongo and Emma Bing•audioboom.com

Mom Best Friends Laura Perlongo & Emma Bing combine personal experience and intimate survey results to bare it all in this raw, mom-life-as-a-modern-woman tell-all.

They don't have all the answers and used to be afraid of even having "mom friends" but here they are, baring their souls for an LOL series that both examines and redefines what motherhood and mom friendship means today. Weekly surveys. Open forum. Ask anything!
