Mom Homie: Recent Episodes
Brittany Drake
What if being a WFHM and SAHM wasn't what you thought it would be? Mom Homie is a chance for WFHM and SAHM's to spill their truths, relate, share, and offer tips on how to work with your little one in the mix. Just like the title, Mom Homie is a double entendre of being a mom friend and a mom at home because no matter where you're at on your momming adventure, you're not alone.
Welcome to part 2 of The Great Pause and the last episode of Mom Homie until September. I share some of what I'll be researching, experimenting, and doing this Summer to bring more value to Mom Homie. Also, check out the new introduction that feels clearer and better about the mission and vision of Mom Homie!

Remember that house for auction my family and I got excited about? We learned so much within a week about the housing market conditions and what we need to do to prepare to buy a home.
A serious chat about how to make our home-owning dreams true put into perspective just how close we actually are, and if you have a big goal in mind, that's blinded your progress to where you didn't even know it was in arms reach... you're in good company.
Keep listening for a boost of encouragement in preparation for reaching your major monetary-related goals.
