A Maryland couple reached international fame with an explosive social media following.Rocking on their front porch, 70-year-old Susan Higgins and her husband, 74-year-old John Higgins, are in the golden ages of what could be considered life past their heyday. But from their quiet country home, a video with, of all things, a mini waffle maker, went viral, launching the couple into the social media elite.Their TikTok has more than 1 million views and more than 200,000 followers."After a couple of TikToks, I said, 'Hi, it's Sue Sally Sue, or if you want, you can call me 'MomMom,' I would really like that.' And from there, it just stuck," Susan Higgins said.Reaching stardom like MomMom and PopPop, apparently, doesn't take any kind of formula. Most of their videos are filmed at their home in Easton.With MomMom -- the cheerful one driving the content -- and PopPop -- who was too shy to speak on camera but willing to play along with his wife -- the two create delicious content from home while also vlogging on their travels around town."I get more out of the comments and the love that's being shown to me. You know, it just means the world," Susan Higgins said.It's love returned with MomMom working hard to learn from mistakes."In my first ones, I have the phone propped up on the kitchen counter ... (It made me) look like a monster, like Godzilla movie or something. I didn't know anything about angles or lighting. I still don't know a whole lot because I still make mistakes, but it's really self-taught," Susan Higgins said.MomMom prides herself on content that brings nostalgia -- a homemade feel that keeps viewers coming back."There's a good side of TikTok. That's where I've stayed. I stay on the comedy side, the music side, the everyday, the home feel. I mean, it's out there, you just have to look for it," Susan Higgins said.The Higgins' following continues to grow. They're sharing their lives and enjoying it.
