MixItUpChicas: (imperfect) moms keeping it real

We are just two chicas trying to get this parenting thing as close to alright to raise healthy, happy kids. We will have conversations about the realities of mommyhood, raising multicultural and biracial families, the struggles as working moms, “MixItUp” sometimes with special topics or guests to make us better individuals, and whatever else comes up. We are not professional bloggers or podcasters, we're just trying to keep things real and hope some will hear their voices in ours. We hope you’ll join us on this journey and help us form a community when raising a family can feel like the toughest, yet, most rewarding, job in the world!
