Honest To Pete

Mom has theories on Taylor Swift's wedding and she has a lot to say about the dress and the venue. Plus Katy shares the birthday tradition she started for Cici that will make every mom stop in their tracks — writing her a letter every single year to open when she's older. And Carol, a lifelong opera singer, admits the stage might be calling her back.

Mom is back from her Catholic pilgrimage through Portugal, Spain, and France and she has a lot to say. She traveled with 20 strangers and a tour guide named Mountain, had no itinerary, no idea where she was staying, and came back a completely different person. Oh, and she ended the trip in the same room Rihanna stayed in at a five star vineyard hotel in Bordeaux. Because of course she did.

Carol is days away from her pilgrimage and the packing situation is not going well. Katy answers the question everyone keeps asking about what she actually eats in a day and reminisces on some of the funniest moments with her mom during her dance audition days.

It's Katy's birthday week, Carol is still in New York and they have a lot to get into. Carol picked up Strangers, the memoir by Belle Burden, a story of marriage, betrayal, trust funds, prenups and what happens when women don't protect themselves financially. They also get into love languages and how Katy and Carol give and receive love completely differently, the mental load of motherhood, Cici's first real Easter egg hunt, and the importance of showing up for people months after something hard happens not just right away.

We're back — and we have a lot to catch up on. Katy got stranded in Minneapolis mid-blizzard, solo parenting Cici in a hotel with no clean clothes while Matt escaped on the last flight out. Carol nearly didn't make it home either. It was a lot. We finally get into it all plus our current spring obsessions — from a $6 Costco wine that genuinely surprised us, to the skincare finds we can't stop talking about, to a fragrance that smells like fresh flowers on a kitchen counter. Plus the Jesse Buckley Oscars quote that made us both cry, Carol getting recognized in the Minneapolis airport, and an honest conversation about solo parenting and what it really takes.
