Mommy Magic

By Mary Susan Buhner

Welcome to the Mommy Magic Podcast! I am Mary Susan Buhner, Author and TV Family & Lifestyle Segment Host. Most importantly, I’m a mom to three girls! Over the years I have gathered tips and advice… Thanks my kid should know. I recently compiled these life lessons in a book called, “Life’s Little GuideBook: Tips for Leading A Meaningful Life.” During this podcast I will have guests on that give their best advice that help them lead great and meaningful lives. My goal is to personally become a little wiser and have some fun along the way!
