April 29, 2020 Super Sucia Support
Episode 9: Not all Sucias are...como se dice? MProper. The support from the ladies in a book club I've been a part of for many years (La Sucias) was strong before Covid 19 and will be there long after we are out of quarantine. Join us as a few members join MProper Mimi to talk about how we keep things afloat at home in a time when there is a lot of uncertainty. You will see that is is possible to be late to work, even when you are working from home! It's also a safe bet to call on your girls when you are experimenting with mysterious roots in the kitchen. At the end of the day it all comes down to being there to help each other survive, laugh and know when to hide from the kids!
