Today her daughter gave her a mommy makeover at school, even though she feels like she's in her ugly era. Over at Lizz's house things are looking up as James is now potty trained! She shares all her tangible takeaways and tips on what worked for her. Hint: it's all about the potty content! \n\n\n\nImportant updates on the book that both Kelly and Lizz are reading for the Carpool Book Club. Is it a subtle dig at Ballerina Farms? Plus, the meal prep hack Kelly learned over the weekend might just be a game changer. But the most important update: Kelly has once again deleted her TikTok account! \n\n\n\nBig question for the Car Mom this week: If you had to choose only five tech features for your car, which would you pick? Once you start thinking about it, the answer is not really that easy. \n\n\n\nDon't forget the Car Mom Auto Show is approaching fast, and this year's event benefits a very important cause. Catch a Ride Network is an amazing organization that helps moms, families and others with transportation insecurity. Valerie Lefler is part of this effort and joined Lizz on the podcast to talk about how the organization started and what you can do to help.
