Two generations. Dozens of kids. Zero chill.
We’re a mother-daughter duo who’ve raised bio kids, stepkids, adopted kids, and over 50 foster children and somehow still like each other enough to start a podcast.
Mom raised three bio kids (all with different dads), has been married 28 years, fostered for decades, and has been a grandma for 20 years. Daughter is 38, newly married, adopted her oldest as a single mom, has four stepkids, and is adopting their foster baby.
It’s real, honest, and mildly unhinged because when you’ve parented this many kids, you either start a podcast or charge admisson
Come talk to Tami and Brooke. They share about their week, some of their medical, experiences with "Lucy and Chatty Cathy" and so much more.

Meet Messy Mom Moments
Welcome to Meet Messy Mom Moments — where we introduce ourselves and prove we’ve earned the word “messy.”
In this first episode, we share who we are, how we got here, and why between the two of us we’ve raised biological kids, stepkids, adopted kids, and over 50 foster children. We talk long marriages, single motherhood, blended families, fostering, adoption, becoming a grandma (for 20 years and counting), and how our family tree looks more like a forest.
This is the real story behind the mic — the chaos, the paperwork, the love, and the laughter.
Because parenting isn’t perfect… and neither are we.
