ACKNOWLEDGING THE SPACE WE'RE IN

About this episode

Lizz and Kelly discuss personal updates, family traditions, and provide advice on car buying.

It's been a long couple of weeks and we're so ready for a weekend. Lizz is still dealing with post-surgery Sloan and the stye in her eye. Kelly has finally ordered her new Expedition. She also started a new half-birthday tradition for the kids that really sounds like the cutest idea ever. Speaking of cute ideas, there may be a American Girl Doll trip in her future. Lizz found a new Base Model Luxury during the week of illness she is really enjoying. You know those serving platters you registered for but never use? Why not use them for a band-aid and medicine station! Kelly uses one for her bathroom products and it's been lovely. A trio of Advice Questions this week helps moms in different seasons of their car buying journey. There's one looking for a "sexy" mom car, another looking for a hybrid and the third is asking if she can trade-in after a minor accident. Elsewhere in Industry News, Kelly has the story on Tesla's unsold EVs, new GM sedans and the best minivans of 2026.
