Summary

Do you naturally match up with friends who share your individual quirks and preferences, or are your relationships more a case of opposites attract? In our years-long working relationship and close (but long-distance) friendship, we’ve got a little bit of both going on. Get to know Meagan, Sarah, and our partnership a little better in this fun More Than Mom episodes all about the little and not-so-little ways that we’re similar and different. Join us!

Note: We know that COVID-19 is top-of-mind for everyone. Tuesday’s episode will focus on how to cope with stuck-inside days at home, and address the latest developments more directly. Today, enjoy a little escape with some fun and fluff.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Sarah. And I'm Megan. We're two moms with eight kids between us from little to
0:05.7	grown. We're in different areas of the country and in different stages of life. But we both know that
0:10.5	motherhood's a lot easier when real moms share tips and encouragement.
0:14.0	And remind you that it's really all going to be okay.
0:16.4	We're not experts. We're parents who've been there.
