About this episode
Kelly has touched grass and has something to say about Oreo-gate from Tuesday’s episode before diving into a dream-guest filled episode with Kate from Naptime Kitchen. The millennial word of the day today is ‘social battery.’ Just another way that Gen Z and millennials say ‘I need some alone time.’ Today’s episode is brought to you by carmomofficial.com . Where you can find all of the vehicle tips, tricks, and tours to make your family’s car shopping experience ah-ma-zing. Thanks to the Car Mom for always doing the most. In a sort-of driveway dump Kelly gives a nod to Jim from the office for his leaving-the-party-early hacks. Lizz places her bet on the 16th for Kelly’s baby’s arrival, Kelly guesses the 18th, and both marvel at the miracle of growing a tiny human. Lizz reports she felt her first little bubble kicks this week! Kelly’s idol, Kate from Naptime Kitchen , who is also the most relatable mommy blogger is today’s guest. You can find the NTK goods the gals talked about with Kate here: The Home Reset (how to make your home work for you) and here: The Able Bag . The great eight of Kate reveals what the most groundbreaking, shareable Naptime Kitchen hack or mindset is. Vying for the title are: the heating pad in bed, Christmas clothing bin for kids, pasta Monday, you don’t have to only bring homemade stuff to people when you’re bringing a meal to, shoebox lids for drawer storage, toy purgatory, cutting your beach sandwiches, and your most nutritious meal doesn’t have to be dinner. The segment proves that Kate is the real-world mom missing in the influencer world. In industry news, we find out how Kate’s minivan is working for her family of six. She shares what she drove before, why she decided to say yes to the Honda Odyssey, and why her family might outgrow the minivan down the road. Today’s ditch the drive-through from Kate is a ‘hardest night of the week’ hack. Kate takes a look at her calendar and chooses the most low-energy, tight on time night of the week and makes it crock pot night, pasta night, or choose your own sandwich night. Lizz is here for good parenting while doing the least. Kelly names her top Naptime Kitchen recipes to wrap up the episode: BBQ Chicken Quinoa Casserole Creamy Chicken Enchiladas Warming Chicken Curry → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Want our advice on literally anything?
