Versatile Fall Dresses: From School Pickup to Moms' Night Out

Zlata Faerman

Mom life is highly dependent on a precious resource. Well, maybe a lot of precious resources, when you realize how valuable things such as sleep and time become. But we're talking about a different kind of life essential: mom friends. Whether your circle is a crafty bunch of blessed ladies, a collection of career mamas, savvy stay-at-home extraordinaires, or a hodgepodge of all of them, mom friends are a critical piece of survival. They give us perspective and keep us sane (and support us through all our moments of craziness).
