Without a doubt, being a mom is definitely the hardest job imaginable, but also the most rewarding. The two moms behind 918moms.com are both Tulsa natives who are facing the same struggles, same questions and same amazing moments you are experiencing each day.
918moms.com co-founder Deedra Determan is the mom of a 4-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter and 918moms.com co-founder Melanie Henry is the mom of a 5-year-old daughter. We both have always worked outside of the home and finally decided it was time to use our experience and create a website that focuses on a subject we are both incredibly passionate about- being a mom!
