NEW ICK UNLOCKED!

About this episode

Kelly and Lizz discuss summer plans, parenting challenges, and share advice on various topics including all-girl schools and minivan dilemmas.

It's Memorial Day weekend and the kick-off to summer! What are the plans for Kelly this summer with four kids at home? It's all about the R.E.P.S.! Lizz is feeling her third trimester energy, but still don't ask her about the nursery. She doesn't know where she is going to put anything at this point, but really that excitement is really reserved for first time moms. By the time you get to baby #3 it all changes. Kelly and Lizz have discovered a new ick - men who prefer seltzers over beer. Leave the seltzers for the ladies! Speaking of discovering things, Kelly has discovered that making popcorn on the stove is really easy. Why did we ever complicate it with the microwave? Plus, a reminder that mother-in-laws need more love and them helping out around the house is not always an indictment on your cleaning skills. Advice questions for this week starts with one mom asking about Kelly and Lizz's experience going to an all-girl school. What are the benefits and drawbacks? Then, another mom has a minivan dilemma she desperately needs help with. One more piece of advice in Ditch the Drive-Thru: embrace shaved beef!
