About US!

Our blog site began as a vision for Gail to use her networking skills in a way that could benefit moms. As the journey continued and she recruited Amber, the vision started to become a reality. We, as mothers, know that in order to succeed at our jobs of being a mother, it is important that we are educated, organized, and informed about all aspects of our lives and the lives of our children. Therefore, it is our goal through this website to “network” with other moms in the Sumner County area to help each other along the journey of motherhood. Together, with the help of our friends and family in Sumner County, we are building a “networking” site that will help moms to meet the needs of a running a family, household, and our lives more efficiently in hopes to succeed at our jobs of being a mother, the highest calling of a woman’s life!
