About this listen

Welcome to Little Ones and Messy Buns podcast. We are a group of sorority sisters, turned moms who have been by each other's sides through it all. In 2009, we opened our bids and found each other. Fast forward 15 years and 15 babies later, we have gone from bids to kids. This podcast is a way for us to spend time together, share stories with other moms and remember we aren't alone in this season of life.
