From the creators of #IMOMSOHARD, Jen and Kristin are heading out on a spring tour, with a brand new show: FLASHBACK! Guaranteed to make you laugh, and maybe pee your pants, these two dive-in to all things womanhood, motherhood, and friendship. There are new things to talk about and some old things to talk about in new ways like surviving marriage, fashion, and the tween-teen years. These two may be older, but they are only getting better. Or bitter. Let’s go with better. “Let’s all get together and find a way to laugh at the stuff the usually makes us cry.” This show is rowdy, raucous and a little bit naughty. Get a group of your lady friends, or fly solo, you can even bring your husband (make sure he sits in the front row) and get ready to laugh.
