About this episode
Happy birthweek James! Kelly and Lizz kick off this mom-tastic episode with a chat about getting to know your kids, how the newborn stage isn't necessarily their favorite, and the way their baby names are so different. Kelly is beating the heat with a summer base model luxury that you won't want to miss. She mixes up a whole pitcher of lemonade with Ultima electrolytes for the family and keeps it cool in the fridge. Her new motto? If you mix it they will drink it! In driveway dumps, Craig is keeping Lizz safe after catching a tire tear on her car. Lizz is enjoying Perfect Match—another trash dating show on Netflix. Kelly's bedroom furniture is on order and she's looking forward to Bridgerton drama on a bigger screen. Lizz is listening to the Girls With Bright Futures audiobook.

Lizz is crushing the Amazon maternity top game and she's stocking up on a blouse tank top with a bow in the back so she can feel cute all summer long. Kelly is excited about the new water table she got for her kids after the last one was trashed in the move. A listener writes in to ask for advice on a Doona seat and stroller. Kelly and Lizz agree, they're clunky, expensive, heavy, and too low to the ground. They're going to stick with their Mockingbird/Clek combos. Another listener has a 2018 Kia Sorento that is burning oil and wonders if she needs to disclose the issue at trade in? The gals say anything you say can and will be used against you. Don't lie, but don't word vomit your car's history and drag the value of your trade in down. → Write in your advice questions!
