So Funny

A pint and a fart!

I love this podcast! It reminds me of me and my best friends. I am currently 8 months pregnant, and listening from across the pond in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. It is wonderful to hear REAL mommies talk about kids, instead of only hearing about what I can and cannot do. Much Love!! -Casey Hayes (VERY soon to be scum mum!) Have a drink for me!
