Synopsis:

Every mother is scared of running out of coffee or walking out of the house with poo on their face, but their biggest fear is that their kids will end up in therapy because of them. That’s why Liz, a mom in a typical middle-class suburban town in Rockland County, New York, joins a wholesome mothering group with her best friend Molly.

When guru, Courtney introduces The Mom List, daily activities helping mothers become more connected and present so their kids will be less likely to become drug addicts and/or serial killers, these two friends eagerly take it on. Yet, exercising while drinking margaritas is definitely not what Courtney intended, screaming daily affirmations to your children from the car doesn't have the same effect, and accidentally cheating on your husband while buying a potty seat is probably not a “mom” thing. Although these two besties hilariously fail every task, Liz and Molly learn to expand their horizons beyond motherhood and margaritas with the help of their misfit mothering group.

And I did.”

And that’s just one of the scenarios featured on "The Mom List," a web series created by Melener that began airing on Facebook in February.
