Claire introduces us to the concept of Mother’s Day Eve, and we chat with Colleen McCarty about her crazy life.  With two small children, Colleen has written two novels, worked full time, and most recently, started law school!  We talk about expectation management, juggling a non-traditional schedule with the help of family and friends, and  what it’s like to be a mom in law school (did you know they have LOCKERS?).  As if that weren’t enough, Colleen’s husband has recently decided to run for a seat in the Oklahoma House of Representatives so we get a glimpse at life on the campaign trail. After our interview, Claire nerds out about Jury Duty, and we share some Mom Confessions...including a tooth fairy fail, bathtime awkwardness, and our least favorite bedtime stories.
