Mama's Playground
We’re two Spanglish-speaking moms in our 40s, figuring out motherhood, life, and everything in between. Think of us as your girlfriends on the playground—laughing, venting, and keeping it real about the joys (and chaos) of parenting, relationships, mental health, and finding balance.
We love connecting with people from all cultures, perspectives, and walks of life, and we believe every story has something to teach us. Some days we nail it, most days we don’t—but we’re all in this together.
So grab your cafecito, pull up a swing, and join us as we talk about the beautiful, messy, hilarious journey of life and motherhood. 💕
We’d love to hear from you—send us your feedback, stories, or episode ideas. See you at the playground!
✨ Be Happy,
Darlene & Monica

Balancing Love and Friendships: Navigating Relationships After Marriage
Friendships are essential for our well-being, and they can be even more important when we're in a relationship. Having close friends can provide us with support, advice, and companionship, and it can help us to maintain our own identity outside of our relationship.
But staying close with friends can be challenging when we're in a relationship, especially when we're married. We may have less time to spend with our friends, and our partner may not always understand the importance of our friendships.
In this episode, we'll discuss the benefits of staying close with friends while in a relationship. We'll also talk about how to navigate the challenges of maintaining friendships with people of the opposite sex.
✨ Disclaimer: We’re not therapists or relationship experts—just two moms sharing real talk, real laughs, and real-life parenting moments.
