The Good Mum

Blair & Carmen

Welcome to The Good Mum! We are two mums, Blair and Carmen, taking a chance, trying something new & wanting to create a safe place to share how we feel. No judgement. Just support. In the spirit of keeping it real, you’re going to see our trials, errors, mom uniforms, laughs, & possibly tears of a stay at home mom and full time working mom, while we navigate learning how to record, edit, & create raw content for you.
