About this episode
Moms are baddies who cannot be touched—and Kelly is ready to share her contagious confidence, Lizz officially feels like her sweet trio is a family, and both gals need to know "What is a write off anyway?" Kelly is getting into her hostess era in her hostie-home and it's warming her heart. Lizz is staying on her freezer game with a homemade meatball stash. Both gals are outraged about the Red 40 and Yellow 5 in the glucose test drink. Simply put—why? If you need some kid-snack inspiration for the summer, head over to The Lazy Genius Podcast's snack episode —Kelly's latest audio obsession. This show will help you learn how to decide once, simplify snack time, and give your kids more choice while you're still in control of their limits. Straight from the childhood files, Kelly and Lizz reminisce about the effectiveness of their mom's kid of the day hack and assigned seats so you never have to listen to another fight about where your kids are sitting again. Kelly is curating her wish list in the notes app so she can move into her investing era and out of her consumerism era. She's currently eyeing a Frank & Eileen dress, Mejuri jewelry, and a nice fruit bowl. Chemicals are everywhere, so thank goodness it's Caraway June!

A mom of four writes in to find out what Kelly's take is on the size of a Traverse vs. an Expedition. Kelly shares that the Expedition interior feels significantly bigger than the Traverse, but the trunk space is essentially the same while the Max drives like a bus, but does give you more space to haul your family's stuff. → Write in your advice questions!

Ford ends their controversial EV certification program and reopens EV sales to all dealers. And roughly a third of car buyers say the absence of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto would be a deal breaker.
