“There is almost a spiritual safety net every day here,” Herrin Hopper told TODAY. “I could be my worst self, I could be my best self, and they see me for who I am, and it’s OK.”
Mom friends Holly Harper and Herrin Hopper used to joke about creating a mom commune in Vermont and letting their spouses visit periodically.
The two single moms found another two women, and they all moved in to the four-unit house, sharing the ups and downs of life while also raising their children together. It's not a commune, and it's not traditional extended family living, but the women say it's something pretty special. "Just like my life was burned to the ground," she recalled feeling."I could turn to Herrin and say, 'I literally have nothing left. Let’s just do this.'"
On a practical level, they have regular “homeowners meetings” where they discuss issues like roof repair and yard work expenses, often over a bottle of champagne.
