The 13 Moms in Every Moms Group

Which one are you? (We're No. 2)

The Overachiever

She just made partner at her law firm, her six-month-old is crawling at a nine-month-old level and she totally purees her own Bartlett-quinoa-yam mash. (And ugh, it’s freaking delicious.)

mom9

The Overly Enthusiastic Breast-feeder

Her kid is six--and can now coherently explain which side he likes better.
