Little Ones and Messy Buns
Welcome to Little Ones and Messy Buns podcast. We are a group of sorority sisters, turned moms who have been by each other's sides through it all. In 2009, we opened our bids and found each other. Fast forward 15 years and 15 babies later, we have gone from bids to kids. This podcast is a way for us to spend time together, share stories with other moms and remember we aren't alone in this season of life.

This week, Emily and Darcy are diving into a big transition — going back to work after maternity leave. We’re getting real about what our maternity leave actually looked like (length, pay, and all the logistics), whether we ever thought about staying home, and what that emotional first day back was really like.
We’re sharing the highs, lows, and everything in between. Plus, we’ve got some honest tips for that first day back to work - because whether you’re feeling excited, anxious, or totally overwhelmed, you are so not alone.
If you’re a new mom gearing up to return to work, or just want to hear two moms talk through the chaos of working mom life, this one’s for you.
