The hilarious Deva Dalporto of MyLifeSuckers, creator of viral parody videos including “Let it Go,” “What Does the Kid Say?” and “I Just Need Some Space” was our guest on this week’s MomCave LIVE. NBC called her “The Weird Al of YouTube Moms.” Deva and Jen talked about things they’ve “let go” since becoming parents.
