Ladies, we've heard how hard it's been to maintain friendships are to maintain after... well... everything. After you get into a relationship, after your twenties, after you have kids, but real talk...should it be hard? Today the Mamas have a conversation all around friendships. Truth be told, some friendships have expiration dates. Or maybe, we haven't exactly been the best friends to people in our lives? Listen, we're getting into all of it today!
