Meet the Moms: Momologie

We all love shopping and getting the inside scoop on style.  Gia Russo and Michele Adams have made it their mission to make obtaining style easy and fun with their new newsletter and site, Momologie.  The two women are the masterminds behind MiGi Style a brand of designer bedding and furnishings, and did a stint with Martha Stewart before that.  When the babies came along, the ladies decided to expand to the motherhood community.  We caught up with them to find out more about the launch of Momologie and how they keep it all together.
