Midlife Madness
We are best friends who happen to be sisters and we have been talking about important, and sometimes not so important, topics our whole lives. We have supported one another in sickness, health, richer, poorer, acne, childbirth, hemorrhoids, chin hair and so much more. We have two rules – We don’t talk about politics and we don’t pass judgement. This is a safe zone! So grab your coffee, pull up a chair and let's chat!
