But before you hear it, remember that Lent does not count on Sundays! Speaking of the Lent season, Kelly has the report from her dinner with the priests. This was a big deal at her house, so much that Tyler bought special equipment to clean the house top to bottom! \n\n\n\nNow that she has the dollhouse, it's time for a new micro-hobby to emerge for Kelly. This time, it's a family affair! Kelly and the kids are picking their brackets for March Madness. Who will have the best bracket of them all? Could they be in the running for any money? \n\nKelly has another Base Model Luxury and Lizz has to physically control her eyes from rolling. It's a book. A physical book. But it's giving her guilt-free me time so who are we to judge? Lizz, on the other hand, has a Fast Lane Philosophy she discovered while doing her 40 Days of Less. Most people want more, she wants her big flex to be having less. \n\n\n\nA tragic story in this week's Industry News has led to a stop sale and recall of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade. What you need to know and watch out for. Finally in Ditch the Drive-Thru, Lizz is making nachos and Kelly is in her Reuben sandwich era. "},"annotations":[{"startTime":3091.6,"endTime":3098.0,"type":"term","title":"relaxation mode","url":"/glossary/relaxation-mode","quote":"what we did call out was the importance of not using their relaxation mode when you're driving.
