Mama's Playground
We’re Darlene and Monica, two moms in our 40s talking about motherhood, relationships, random stuff, important stuff and “What would you do?” situations that get everyone talking. Think of us as your two best friends: here to share, listen, laugh, and never judge.
Come as you are, say what’s on your mind, and hang out with us.
See you at the playground!
