So today we're talking about something that I think many moms can relate to--mom guilt! It's that feeling that you've let down your kids even though you are doing everything you can. So why do we have it? And can we prevent it? I have a theory; keep listening to find out who might be to blame!

If you were to describe a good friendship, what would you say? We automatically think of the friend who is kind, giving, and selfless. What about the friend on the receiving end of all that kindness?
