Not only has the release schedule changed, but so has Lizz's hair! Which one is the bigger news? We're not sure, but Kelly does think Lizz can go shorter. Lizz only thinks it looks good with a hat on. In good news, Kelly is feeling like herself again and has gone full force in cultivating fall vibes. It's all about apple cider donuts, chili and football... in 81 degree weather... Plus, she's organizing the toys and feels really good about it. \n\n\n\nKelly and Lizz are headed on a road trip to speak at a women's conference and are the two podcasters to do so!

Toyota has a recall, the 10 best selling EVs of 2025 and apparently Paris has an auto show! Should that be the next Car Mom trip? \n\n\n\nIn Ditch the Drive-Thru, Lizz is literally ditching the drive-thru now that she is back in her own home. She made steak freezer burritos and they are a winner! \n\n\n\nFinally, it is time to celebrate the lives of the little ones gone too soon with Blake's Besties. Today, Kelly and Lizz share the stories of Teddy and Wyatt. Plus, a beautiful letter from a Labor and Delivery nurse. \n\n\n\nToday's episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠Clean Simple Eats⁠⁠.
