LIVE
Welcome to the Carpool podcast with Kelly and for fun growing up we used to
walk to the hospital to the gift shop to go to the gift shop to buy candy or
sodas or something and Liz it is crazy how this is the most joyful time of my
life and also just the absolute hardest your mom time off starts now welcome
back to the Carpool podcast with Kelly and Liz and my kids are back in school
the sun is shining my coffee is iced the tank is clean and it's fry yay it is we
made it what feels just like the longest week of my entire life well I'm
just waiting to get the flu like that just sounds like something that would
happen to me you know I hate to say this but like I do feel like maybe you've
made it out of the woods like is the flu still going around like no one's
talking about anymore we have not been sick yet this year and I know knock on
wood knock on wood whatever whatever but in a way like that that's something to
celebrate because it's like what else is there to do now except forget sick I got
all my holidays out I swear that like every other year I get sick so like we
got we got hit with the flu this year next year I think we'll be fine last
year you got hit with the flu I was fine I think next year you're gonna get the
flu sure sure sure sure sure sure I think you've made it out of the woods well
who knows but I'm just grateful to have made it this far if nothing else and we
did a great day yesterday it was like finally above freezing like 34 but sunny
and for as much as I don't understand our conversation from last week of like
the wind chill I do understand how things feel warmer in the sun oh for sure
like 34 cloudy disgusting 34 sunny I'm there feels feels like 40 feels like 45
hmm there's something there I can't explain it I do not understand this what
is temperature I needed to go back to school some days I feel it's just it's
just a way of measuring things but anyway so yesterday we went to the farm and
because the kids were off school and we went like Kubota sledding or side by
side sledding which is where you basically take a sled and put on the back
of a side-by-side like any like a UTV and drive around the field very slowly so
far yeah very slowly but it's so fun my kids to love it and I am such a kid at
heart like I Tyler was driving and I was I'm sat on the back like I want to be
on the sled with the kids and it was so funny I would start to get you know a
little confident which I don't know why I'm so confident because I'm like so
Langley I have so much what's the word gangly I shouldn't have the confidence
that I do on this sled that's moving behind us George me and George you know
it's me and George so we know we're doing some tricks you know we're
throwing snowballs and I go to stand up oh no Kelly fly off the back yeah of
course just fly off the back of course you fly off the back
but it was why do I feel like wait what why do I feel like you could stand up
like if you went tubing like on water behind a boat why do I feel like you
have a better chance of standing up there than you do like on the back of a
sled on in the snow yeah I don't know I think it's like maybe yeah I have no
idea I have no idea but it did I told you there was no shot you were going to be
able to stand yeah we did get it on film so maybe maybe if you're blessed enough
I will share it to the carpal instagram it's not that dramatic of a fall but when I
was looking up for the kids what we were going to do today first of all one of my
favorite new features maybe it's not a new feature but the here's where I love
AI coming into my life you can go to your photos on your iPhone and you can
just type in a keyword and then you can find the photos like no that is so
helpful because I'm like I know I have photos and videos of us Kubota sliding
in the past so I typed in sledding there it was so anyway I saw I found a photo of
us Kubota sledding from 2022 I think it's you in the video it could be mom do
you have a memory of this mm-hmm and I eat it no this happened this is what
happened I remember this you and I were on the back and dad was wanted to throw
us off so we weren't flying off but he was like whipping us like it was borderline
dangerous and we were like the only way he's gonna stop is if one of us flies off
and you you sacrifice yourself for the greater good of literally so I said I did
not say no you can't I said get off the sled because I don't want to roll around
in the snow that sounds like something I would do
that sounds like something I would do so anyway we had just a blast yesterday
and it was it's a very dry snow that we're having so you can't really like
roll snowman but you can pack it so we started making an igloo me and the kids
I've never made an igloo I should I should take a step back we like framed out
how big our igloo would be and then we got over it yeah no for sure
igloos sound way too long to make I like do not understand igloos although I do
like the people who make the colored ice cubes and stack them but again it just
sounds like a lot of work my kids have a current obsession with camping which I
don't know how to get them off this obsession but we love watching the outdoor boys on youtube
do you watch the outdoor boys I've watched them one time no talk about a comfort creator
like if you think you wouldn't care about a man taking his three small children hunting or
camping in alaska you're wrong because like he is my ultimate comfort creator all of the kids
fred george haddie we are all obsessed with watching outdoor boys we watch it almost every
night before bed and the honestly the patient that that man excused because like he is filming
camping and his children in these videos they're there I think these videos are older because
I think his kids are older now the kids are young it's I'm it is such like something that
only a father could do totally because there's a level of like we were watching one where they were
at this like bot and this like bayou like in Louisiana or something and they're like living
on a houseboat with a family who rents out the houseboat and he literally like left his three
boys like with the mom who owns the houseboat and their daughter and like he went off you know doing
something with the other guy and matty and I are like you just left your three kids they are like
that's crazy um something I could never do something that really I think like the chillness
of a dad could only handle tyler could do it like tyler loves to take our kids to the farm and
like do outdoorsy things with them and he does have that level I wouldn't even describe him as
like that patient of a person but like he it because it's not even patience it's just like
capacity to do that it's like I almost think it's like you're lacking something that allows you to
do it yeah sure like maybe I'm too high strong maybe I'm my mind's always going to like different
things like you have to you have to lack maybe a maternal instinct to be able to do that
yeah but anyway so the kids are with camping so the other day we like got this new like secret
clubhouse basically again this is so my husband he needs to start a youtube channel to be honest
with you he bought an old water tank like not like a water trough like a water tank okay and it was
broken he bought it off facebook marketplace because once tyler discovered like things were listed
for free on marketplace his world has changed in like a major way because like the same one
man's trash is another man's treasure has never been more true than it is for my husband he loves
the thing about tyler tyler has the skills to go get anything yeah like you would not believe
the strength of my husband it's oh he's like a superhero because like there is he is so much
stronger than he looks no tyler's tyler is a freak I do not know how he moves the things that he
moves he helped install some of the appliances at my house and I came home one day and he was
literally by himself moving a full-size refrigerator up steps into my house there's like three steps
you have to take to get into my house and he moved it by himself no he it's like I'm serious it's like
my favorite thing about him like freaky he can do anything so also say he's been finding a lot of
good things so he found this water tank and he's like I'm gonna make this into a clubhouse for the
kids and so we like put it in our it's huge like all five or five of them all uh please no
please all like three of my kids I said five because we've had friends over can like fit in
this thing and George and Heidi were like we want to camp in it and I'm very much of I kind of took
that as an opportunity to not say no because I'm like there's no way they're gonna camp in it so
I'm like okay if you guys want to spend the night there tonight you can do that like that's fine
they are lather up about it this was a couple weeks ago it wasn't it was like 40 degrees outside
so it wasn't like there wasn't snow on the ground the whole day they're prepping they're packing
their bags they're like getting so ready for it I keep waiting for them to change their mind it gets
dark they're like we're ready to go and I'm like are they seriously gonna walk down to these woods
and get in this like thing right now by themselves but I was still just gonna be like okay whatever
because it's also like 5 p.m. like it's not even late yeah they get their flashlights they pack
their bags George goes will you come get us in the morning and can you make cinnamon rolls and I'm
like sure you you got it George they go down there they had their they had their little like they had
they had their iPads they were gonna watch a movie they had snacks blankets the works they go down
there and like 15 minutes go by it's dark outside and they are in the woods by themselves I'm starting
to be like okay this is kind of crazy like they have they have made it too long too long so I go
down there and check on them I'm like hey guys how are you doing like we're good yep we're having fun
everything's good I'm like you're not scared like at this point I'm like okay let's like I would
actually like to wrap this up but nope we're good so I walk back up and I'm literally like now I'm
like okay I don't like this I'm literally watching I can see them from the house I'm watching their
flashlights like move in the woods from where they are and then finally I see some kids start
packing up walking it up the hill after like 22 minutes so 22 minutes um you know the fun part
of all of that is the preparation 100 do you remember we used to play um we had our neighbors
growing up there was two girls or three girls one was Kelly's age one was my age the other one was
younger than us and we would play this game called survivor and it was a competition and Kelly
and Andrea was her name they were on a team and me and Morgan were on a team and we would like
pick a shelter a shelter outside of like our homes um we would pack up like our portable dvd players
our blankets snack all all the works just to see who could stay outside the longest yeah I mean the
actual like sitting there waiting literally never lasted longer than probably 22 minutes
but it was the prep you and Andrea were like okay we need to make sure we have um we order a pizza
before we go outside because like we didn't have phones then yeah we were like waited for a pizza
to be delivered like it was just so much fun like thinking about how we were going to stay outside
but the time we were actually outside it was like okay this is for the birds um but some just goes to
show your kids are never gonna last but just like make them think that like it's a great activity
it's such a good activity something's so crazy about our childhoods like we did not grow up in
like a walkable area you know like it was like peak suburbs but we did live very close to a hospital
and for fun growing up we used to walk to the hospital the gift shop to go to the gift shop
to buy candy or sodas or something and then sometimes like we were probably 12 we would go
to the fourth floor because that's where the babies were um and they would just let us walk in there
and look at the babies do you remember that yeah and also I was so crazy one time we like ate there
at the like cafeteria yeah we'd go to like that's where we would walk like we would walk to the
hospital you know most people like that's actually pretty good like that's actually kind of a lot
like most people can't walk anywhere no if we live anywhere if we live any further from that
hospital we would not have walked there like we're literally right next door to it if we were even
a subdivision over we wouldn't have done it yeah that's like so fun for us it's so fun for us
yeah my kids can't walk anywhere they can walk to the wood well that's like they have the woods
they have their clubhouse so true that's so anyway don't know how we got here how did we get here
how do we get out I don't know I'm watching you've been 20 minutes has it no I'm watching a new show
um okay actually let me back up you know how it took me like a year and a half to watch Desperate
Housewives yeah it's because like I didn't know how to put my toddler down for sleep and it was a
fight every single night since I have hacked his sleeping with the help of my sleep trainer Molly
Tartilla Tartologia can never say her last name I'm sorry but I get asked for it all the time um
I now can watch a show every night before bed and it is my safe haven and it is so happy you have
that back Elizabeth you need that I need it so badly I've got a face mask on I've got my show on
so the show I'm watching right now is Landman have you watched it no but mom's been very excited
about this show it is excellent okay it is so good um I'm like so I'm just like so into it like
I'm always thinking about the characters the characters are so good there's kind of like
Yellowstone like is it like a TV drama um yeah like a little bit I actually fun fact about me I've
never sat through Yellowstone because when I started watching it back in 2020 I started watching it
with Maddie but it was so graphic that I would close my I would have to close my eyes and then
he would tell me like what I missed and when he then was deployed I could no longer watch it because
I didn't have someone to tell me what I was missing so I've actually um I've only watched like the
first couple episodes of Yellowstone so it's not I mean so far I'm like almost all the way through
the first season it's not there's not graphic like it's not scary it's just like it's kind of funny
it's cute it's lovely like it's Texas I just I'm like so into it I'm so excited about it
and I think you should watch it I will watch it I have said in the past like my problem with these
shows is I just find them to be so unnecessarily graphic like and I know this before but it's
almost like they're too lazy to actually come up with a good plot so they're just like what's the
shocking gruesome thing we can put on my screen in effort to like get a buzz going like I'm telling
you like yeah no it's like 1923 that land that yellowstone spell all it was it was like a freaking
bingo card of what tragedy it was so unrealistic because no one has that many horrible things
happen to them yeah no it's like whereas like 1923 it's like someone gets beat up or abused like
you're watching the entire thing happen it's like in land man like oh someone gets beat up in his
trailer but they just like allude to him getting beat up like you know he's getting beat up but
you're not seeing it that's so you can handle it it's like we need to really check ourselves on
the like it's too much things are too violent now and just because like we're quote on quote old
enough to watch them doesn't mean we should be I'm sorry no we're just like watching that we're
so desensitized like we're not shocked by anything anymore and that's like really not good it's
probably be clear I'm still shocked because I protect my eyes let me be very clear yeah okay
well that's good to know I will give that a consideration what am I watching right now oh
guess what I mean so last night so after we've had a fun day at the farm had he fell asleep so she
got to stay up later than everybody else because she took like a 5 p.m nap but I was kind of okay
with it because I love staying up late with 101 with my kids sometimes because then I watched them
we like watched things that were very specific to that child and had he I've talked about this a
lot like she is very she's not into a lot of pretend play she's not like a big even like
cartoon girl she like she likes to just she I guess you could say she's kind of mature anyway
I turned the parent trap on oh wow excellent movie that's fun to see like those movies
for the first time with your child and I like didn't know like I didn't explain to her what it was
about and I I was like I wonder how long it's a taker to notice that like the girls are twins
like it's the same girl how long we'll take her and like she discovered it as they discovered it
and she's like like to see on her face like they're sisters plot twist of the century yeah it was a
little it the movie itself kind of had some more mature themes that were a little difficult to
explain to a five-year-old because then she was like well why don't her parents live together
and then I kind of I'm happy to have I'd rather I'd rather me and her have those conversations
then someone else like I was happy to have those conversations but then it goes
so the dad just never saw that girl and I'm like no that is like a no it's it is really screwed up
like to separate twins like oh words what happened they broke up and so like they just each took a
daughter like it's actually super screwed up no that isn't like that's insane no it's insane
I feel like they could have wrote that differently
how like I'm just one like maybe the how do you separate twins at birth yeah I'm not sure
it just feels like the fact that the parents each plucked one and then just like decided to never
see the other child again like it was just you were never thought about what yeah it's wait
this is so screwed up I know and I just like it was very hard to explain to haddie did you
watch the entire movie no we're halfway we just got to the part where they just switched spots
okay because I was gonna say I I haven't watched the movie in years but I do hear people like
wait Meredith for or Justice for Meredith Blake because like I'm kind of on her side now
and I want to know I got to the Meredith Blake scene and I 100% agree like she was so nice to
Halle so nice mm-hmm but like you know they're just trying to get their parents together
and I'm just like you the dad like hadn't dated anyone like for so long like for 11 years and
like he finally has like who is lovely and beautiful and then yeah like it is a totally
Justice for Meredith Blake um yeah and you just like one thing why did they break up in the first
place like I don't do we ever hear who ever hear that I don't remember but I will let you know but
I get it I don't even know if they end up together I guess they do but again it's just like why were
these twins separated at birth you know to their parents like to the parents no it's crazy
no it's absolutely crazy um and that just like goes to show that like when you are a child like
you really don't need a full I've been feeling this way lately like you do not need a full
explanation that makes perfect sense and I say that because since I've started putting James
to sleep differently we have this chart and it's like has pictures on it it's like this is what we
do after after we put on pajamas then we brush our teeth and after we brush our teeth three read
books and he's like no read books I'm like dude my hands are tied it's the chart the chart says
we have to read a book after we brush our teeth so I don't know what I don't know what you want me
to do about it and like to me I'm like well obviously I could change it up like we don't
technically have to do it that way but just saying that's just the way it is make the chart the bad
guy like they just don't need full context in the way that we do like it makes sense to them that
I will let you know I think a two-year-old does not I do fear had he is asking for full context
at this point no I no I'm just thinking like maybe had he why but we didn't ask for full
context when we watched the parent trap yeah I don't know maybe you're in tune I don't think
any of us were asking for full context I think now we're all asking in full context I don't know
it's just interesting that is interesting send me your vintage movies because
I'm just kind of enjoying it well I was thinking we could do last three transactions because it
feels like a minute fun done that where we share our recent bank account subtractions
yep yep I'll go first okay that's okay with you
I made a big purchase small small purchase big prices and that was I bought some new
lululemon align leggings and I find it's so hard to buy new lululemon align leggings
but at the end of the day I have a drawer full of leggings and if my lululemon align
leggings are dirty I might as well not have any totally I have worn the same four pair of leggings
throughout my last two pregnancies it's the only thing that's comfortable on me right now
and in between pregnancies and I'm like babe I think you've proven your price per wear
and you can just go and buy some new ones so I placed an order for two new lululemon align
leggings just blend I did one black and I did one brown because I've been wearing a lot of brown
okay and I also ordered a pair of like pants because I also do feel like I need to find
pants that I can wear that aren't leggings um lululemon align leggings high rise or super
high rise are the best leggings on the planet you will never catch me trying to shove a fake
amazon duped down your throats it does not exist been there like there are other amazon leggings
and they're fine and I used to wear them but like to grow and come back and be comfortable
throughout my pregnancy they don't stretch out they don't stretch out how is it that I've literally
worn them with a bump and then also just wore them postpartum and wore them like I wore them
it's they're they're incredible they are literally the sisterhood of the traveling leggings because
like they have fit me throughout I have been five different sizes in the last three years
and they have been they have been with me through it all yeah and the other thing is like the amazon
dupes they don't come in tall sizes and so then they're not long enough and like you're not gonna
you're not gonna catch me with an exposed ankle in the winter you know they're the best leggings
in the planet it's specifically the lululemon aligns ask for them for your birthday look for
them on poshmark do what you need to do you will not I can confidently say you will not
regret that purchase yeah in any capacity they're also the only leggings I wear yeah um okay I have
had some fun with my transactions I bought um a new table I bought a new amazon table now I did
end up I know the story the saga of the amazon tables I know what you're thinking just buy one
on facebook marketplace and I understand but I told you last time I'm after very specific
dimensions and it's just not they're not coming up for me like I need these specific dimensions
so after my last debacle of like buying the wrong table someone a designer kimber santsone on
instagram she's like this is the table you need to buy I have it it's amazing and I'm like that's
all I was looking for bought it it has not arrived yet but I'm very excited about it I just what I'm
hoping I can convince my husband to put it up with a smile on his face because I and I do believe
this one does come this one looks easier to put together okay um well it's like you've at least I
feel like you this should be a better shot just because like someone you like saw it on instagram
yeah and I actually it's it's gonna be better it's it kind of looks like this like it's like a
okay it's got great storage like obsessed it's a yeah yeah you best of luck
I really hope it works out you'll have to give us an update
um okay something that I bought was a you're probably gonna think I'm silly for doing this
a toddler tower like a standing tower tower for standing in the kitchen
now you had one you gave it to didn't it yeah I thought I was gonna say did I give you one
you gave me one but it didn't have like a back bar so like James definitely fell off it was a hazard
like and Sloan is so wonderful but like always wants me to hold her and it's really hard to do
that when I'm cooking so I was like let me have something so she can be involved and actually
James used the hazardous toddler tower a lot but I had to get rid of it um so I do think we're
gonna use it you your kids just weren't into it um I just didn't like I just at the time our house
was like way too small to have that big of a contraption around my life yeah and I am just kind
of like one to pull up a bar stool and I'm just kind of one to roll the dice like if they fall
they will fall it they will it's it's not so high or I'll get like a kitchen chair I just don't do
a bar so I'll get a kitchen chair where it's like if they do fall off of it they will get hurt but
we will not have to go to the yard yeah okay and that's you know but that's okay people love them
people love them in anything that you can do no I think it's gonna be I think it's I think
it's going to be great like my kids always like want to be up on the island like they just like
want to be doing things with me so I just I actually think my problem is that I only have one
and I'm probably I'm gonna need two because they're both going to use it all the time I just know
them there you go there you go um my transactions are kind of boring but I my sweet sweet son George
he is so incredible he's like such a fun kid and he's very much George is six right now
he'll be seven in May oh my gosh it's disgusting yeah this is the first time where like I genuinely
haven't wanted him to get older like I've talked this before I'm not the biggest baby person like
I even think toddlers are kind of sorry annoying they are um but like George and Hattie I don't
want them to be older like they are still sweet but they're independent like me and George like
it makes me sick to my stomach to think like one day like a back scratch won't fix all of his
problems for me like physically ill I'm physically ill when I think about that I know so anyway and
he's also George is so hard to not um I think George is kind of like me in the sense where like
George also has micro hobbies and like when George gets into something I get into it like
he's so good at like getting me all lathered up about it whatever he's talking about no it's so
true like I just think George is going to be very much like me in that sense um so he loves Legos
and I know everyone's like oh my five year old's like so advanced for Legos George is an incredible
Lego engineer like he's so good at it and he really really wants Lego motors like so he can like
motorize some of his creations and I couldn't I'm like okay like it's not his birthday it's
nothing special like he had ten dollars in his wallet I made him give me to like for the formality
but I just what's uh what's a Lego motor run they were thirty nine dollars for like a pack
bit more expensive than I was hoping bit more expensive than I was hoping I mean there's just
like a level of it's like it's using his brain he's not sitting in front of a screen like he's
he's like it's so good for him creatively that you just have like that's what I'm saying he's got me
all I'm telling you he's got me all jacked up about it I'm like yes he's like you know if I had my
motor then this could be like this and I'm like okay let's get the motor you're right yeah you're
like you're right yeah and here you know I can't be I can't be buying these Fisher Price doll houses
and not I mean George isn't gonna play with them totally so it's just and I'm already like so sick
to my stomach because George like if you haven't found me for a while on Instagram he has always
been like the most incredible player like he has such a good imagination and he used to be really
really into like those little toy animals like so into them and he would set up all these incredible
scenes around our house and our yard of like and now he doesn't play with those anymore
mm-hmm physical I'm ill over it and Fred does it really Fred's more of like a car guy than an
animal guy so I like packed up all the animals and like I have them like away but like those are
the toys that I will pull out for George's kids one day because like all of like he has every
animal he's got a llama he's got a Komodo dragon with his little animal figurines he was obsessed
well and those animal figurines go for at least $12 a pop oh I know I know they're expensive
so yeah I'm just like whatever George is no longer I mean I used to uh I just like can't
play I'm not like walking around like animals seen set up all over my house anymore like I'm sick
I'm a physical it's so uh it's like
it is crazy how this is the most joyful time of my life and also just the absolute hardest
and I know it can't be this way but there's just like a part of me that wishes like
you would kind of have both it's like okay we get the the animal setups like we get the
joy we're playing dinosaurs but then also it's like we don't have to do dinosaurs all the time
like you get a break like it's just like it's it's all so hard and all so much right now but then
it's gone and you don't ever get to come back to it well that's what I'm saying I guess yeah and I
think what's interesting is it's it's it's how you remember things yeah and I think mob and
data always had a saying like when we went on because we went on some amazing family vacations
we also went on some at the time not so amazing family vacations like they we got really into
RV treps for a while which I think we've talked about and they were at the time I'm sorry miserable
we were crappy teenagers scrammed in this RV for three weeks at a time like we did seven
seven tall people and two dogs we didn't want to go and mom would always tell us like sometimes
family vacations are like wine and they get better and better as the years go by and she was so wise
to say that because like when we get or get around we start talking about things we talk about the
funny stories of those vacations and like I look back on those so I mean she's 100 right like
those are the memories I would actually like to go back and relive but at the time I did not think
that and similarly with you know as our kids get older it's like you don't remember how you want
how hard it was but like your fondest memories are it's almost like your memories kind of
become a highlight reel like you do this really remember a lot of the good times that you had
and I think that's beautiful yeah sorry bit of a tange yeah no I I'm just feeling like I'm just
like sowing the thick of it right now and like the thought of adding a third kid is like really
it's kind of so excited one day like you will have no one to talk to dinosaurs with like no one
will talk to talk about dinosaurs like I know I know and actually like
yeah it makes me again like I just like I want the snuggles like I want the joy but like I also
I don't want to wish his like their childhood away but it's also so hard sometimes I'm like
you just be a little bit older but then you have a seven-year-old and you're like
just play with the animals like I don't know it's so hard it's so impossible yeah it is it is
anyway I'm not really making any sense but I'm gonna I'm gonna move on to my last my last last
we are trying to potty train James same like oh my gosh like what even is I'm gonna talk about
things that are hard like potty training like what even is this um my son's not motivated by food
as I'm sure anyone could guess he is motivated by dinosaurs so I have just I just placed an order
of like random dinosaur toys whatever I have to have like hidden toys so when he does you know
do his do his business I have something to like reward him with so place just like a big random
amazon hall of miscellaneous poo poo prizes good for you yeah good for you hope it works out I don't
want to know but you know I I have not gotten to the point where I've like done any research on
potty training like I haven't taken a course like I haven't followed an instagram account I'm just kind
of going in blind so if that was the wrong thing to do I'll figure it out myself but I'm not I'm not
I'm not to that point of desperation yet I'm just kind of winging it yeah
I don't I'll give you guys an update when it's done let me just let me just end it with that
okay I just think that's I just think that's better for me okay my last transaction was in fact
even did fisher price minivan
lots of updates for my last episode I am on my poshmark grind for like the specific items because
it's the same price I was faced with marketplace I don't have to leave my house
did you just get a coffee delivery did you just get a coffee delivery
I'm so unbelievably I'm sick how jealous I am
yeah I'm a nice latte my coffee at home still isn't hitting I'm gonna see how long I can use
that excuse because I'm definitely out of my or I'm definitely 12 weeks pregnant and feeling less
nauseous but okay I'm jealous anyway so anyway I've been on poshmark poshmark is remember when
you were like so into selling stuff on poshmark it was so into selling some on poshmark I would
find anything I could to sell it I started digging through Grayson's clothes to sell them
um my problem with poshmark because like I love tea collection in mini bowden like those are my
kids favorite clothes like I'm obsessed I'm always looking for especially for haddie and liby like
I'm always looking for tea in bowden and I'm fine to buy them secondhand because the quality is
amazing but the problem with poshmark is people are listing only one item at a time
like I need more bundles on poshmark well you can like add a bundle I know but sorry I like now
I'm now it's taking too much of my time and I don't know like that now I don't know what you have
like I'm looking for I like bowden clothes my daughter's a size six seven what do you got
give me my bowden six seven bundle I can't I don't like like piece million all these things
together so I kind of got off my poshmark because it's like you know you'd buy a shirt for 20 bucks
from bowden you pay seven dollars shipping it was just it was getting a little much for me yeah
then I feel like I wasn't getting the deal then I felt like I could just wait but I was like I
wonder if they have these toys on here because like now that I'm after these mini vans um
those are harder to find on facebook marketplace or they're coming like in a lot where it's like
I don't want the whole lot I just want the van so I I'm gonna be honest with you I've bought three
I've bought three I'm not proud but I plan to make this like a series and unboxing and these
toys are so cool and I'm gonna let my kids play with them like I want to be a hundred percent
clear with that they're not gonna be in a display case like I want my kids to play with them
and I'm very excited about it well and that's what I'm interested to know is are your kids going to
love them or is this all for just for fun funsies did you have people yet
well I have a pending pending yeah I'm getting people I just haven't got my butt to st. Louis yet
I'm gonna go tomorrow maybe oh okay it's just like with the kids being off school it was a
little hard to get there I see I see that's what I've been transacting on I'm still on my vintage
mini fisher price toys you someone did tag us on instagram me like my mom kept all of them and
my kids play with them at their house and the fisher price loving family is
their favorite toy to play with well and someone messaged me and they were like I have the whole
set I have all boys I'll send it to you and I'm like I will pay you any money market I'll pay you
market so I need a play kitchen and I think you can have mine I my kids never play with our play
kitchen okay I so the play kitchen's like piss me off because you can buy them for like $120
like a cheap one I think is like $120 and then people have the absolute audacity to be listing
them on facebook market place for $100 I'm like look I want to buy a second hand because I don't
want to assemble it and like you know so it's this is something that's very easy to buy a second
hand but I don't want your all drawn up sticker covered kitchen for a hundred dollars like once
you had stickers to toys I'm sorry the value goes down that's what I'm saying like people are so
crazy it's like just because you bought it for $180 doesn't mean you're gonna go turn around and
sell it for $100 on marketplace and they sit they sit sell it for $50 and I'm doing you a
favor by taking it off your hands that's what I'm saying like do you want to well then I mean
but Liz that's their right that's their choice someone might bite but if you want to move things
like if you want things gone price to sell price to sell that's what I when I do sell on
marketplace I'm either free or I'm I'm dirt cheap I went out of my life I'm like literally
getting to the point where it's like if I never make it to a good will to drop off this bag it
might just be faster for me to list everything on marketplace for really cheap yeah and have
people come pick it up for me totally totally um but anyway so wait okay so maybe I will take your
play kitchen but what I wanted to say is that since I've been looking at fish or price on facebook
marketplace a lot of like plastic fish or price plate kitchens have been coming up that I remember
from my childhood I'm like we're so into like the retro like the wood kitchens right now it's like
is the plastic kitchen maybe just the way to go I think so because I'm telling you I our library
has that plastic fish or price kitchen the kids love it our one in one our aesthetic one in one
my kids literally couldn't be bothered could not be bothered that's kind of what I'm saying so my
next fish or price find and again I'm not gonna pay market for this one if I find one I'm gonna
pick it up but the washer dryer from fish or price oh I saw one on marketplace for like 30 bucks
in st near me Elizabeth wait wait let me try and find it Kelly but like I I thought about it but
like what are your kids gonna do with it like put clothes in it that's not up to me play with that
I don't know Elizabeth but I feel like they will what okay that was my hold up if you could
like if you could have any toy mint from our childhood what would you choose
mint I know I know the felt doll things that we used to play with oh my gosh
what even were those felt
100% what were those called
felt they weren't dolls they were like felt it was like a flat thing
you're never gonna find it she was brown and had a pink dress
what was I'm gonna have to do some research wow because yeah like felt dolls are not oh wait
it was like this Kelly did you find it this is not exactly it but this was the vibe
I
don't remember that's not it um I would probably choose we had a really really big
poly pocket collection oh yeah we did
poly pockets were great the old ones the new ones are like not right though there's just
something I'm telling there's something not right about it well do we need to look at poly
pockets okay are we ready to move on felt doll board is kind of closer if anyone knows what the
heck I'm talking about I cannot find this I'm gonna sound like such an idiot but yeah poly
pockets are good one oh littlest pet shops loved I liked those okay are you ready to move on though
because I feel like yeah so we have some advice questions that I feel like we have to get to
because like you haven't done consultations in so long and like sorry people need your consulting
yes so I do just want to give an update on that I am planning on bringing back the
consultations very soon like stay very very very much on tune with my Instagram stories I think
we're gonna try to launch them they might already be launched by the time this podcast comes out
okay perfect well because I know I know I know let's get to I've got two of them if we could just
answer these this one's comes from Laura I'm a mom of three girls 15 12 and 8 we are currently in a
2020 first of all how relaxing does that sound three girls 15 12 and 8 that's lovely we are currently
in a 2022 Subaru Ascent with 94,000 miles it was not my first choice but it's the right choice for
us financially at the time my goal is to have a new model Ford Expedition but don't want to pay the
price tag right now I'm absolutely over being squished in the ascent all three girls play sports
and it's not uncommon for them to have their bag their sports bags in the car at the same time that's
six backpacks my question is do we trade in the ascent before it hits 100,000 miles to get the
most money for it and get the older model expedition or wait for the new model expedition
which would make the most or wait and save up for the new model expedition which would make the most
financial sense we aren't upside down in the ascent but according to kelly bluebook we would only get
one to two thousand dollars for it well that's not true what for 2022 I don't know what she's talking
about
$2,000 for 2022 I think she meant no that would you probably get like $20,000 for it
maybe not 20 well maybe I don't know I don't know I don't I'm not gonna put a number I mean it's
got 94 it's got a lot of miles on it's got 94,000 miles how many times do I have to tell people
how many times do I have to tell people that 100,000 miles is not that many miles like I'm
sick of talking about it um
so she wants she wants the new forward expedition but she's I think she's yeah
she's just trying to decide if she should just get rid of the ascent while it's worth the most
amount of money here's what I think you want I think you want space yeah and I think you don't
have space now so I would probably tell you like the the your car's worth the most it's
going to be today and a used expedition is worth the least amount it's going to be today
so I would say financially this is not financial advice but like that would make the most sense
those expeditions are going to be the cheapest your trade's worth the most and I think you want
space I don't more than you want the latest and the greatest tech split tailgate the the cloud of
driving a new one and those tell me to be clear those are all valid reasons those are all why I
want the new expedition but I don't think those are your reasons I think if you're I think if
you're looking for space I think the pre-owned one will do fine and I have a 23 expedition and I
love it I love it so much I love it I'm not I would love a new one I'm not going to go spend
money on a new one right now yeah the problem is is like you are just she's also just so many years
away from even getting the new one because she wanted to wait until it was used because they
don't want to buy like a 2026 and 2026 but I will also tell you like just because maybe you're not
aware of this like the ascent is a very small midsize SUV so like there are also a lot of cars
in between ascent to expedition that would could be worth exploring for you also those examples
would be like the Chevy Traverse the Honda Pilot the Volkswagen Atlas those are all going to give
you a lot more room than the ascent without being the size of the expedition so you may want to
it may it may be at maybe worth your time to just test drive those because that might just check
your box and then you don't have to spend the money on the yeah because I think the midsize
category is so confusing to people because like it is such a lot there's so many cars in it and I
think people are like oh midsize is too small that means I need full size but it kind of depends on
what midsize you have like if you're in a Chevy Traverse and you think it's too small well then
yeah that's the biggest one so like if the Chevy Traverse isn't big enough then you do need full
size but the ascent is literally I would put the ascent in the same category as like the Toyota
Highlander the Kia Sorento the Volkswagen Tiguan this Hyundai Santa Fe like the ascent is small
yeah it's small yeah it's small okay that could be a good option yeah that's what you call a tangible
takeaway and then you know the other thing is I will just say I don't know where you guys live
or like what your plan is for your daughter but they have a 15 year old so it's like do you want
to have a teen car like do you keep the if you're only going to get one to two thousand dollars for
it allegedly that's not true that's not true that's a typo she might have meant 10 to 12 thousand
dollars for it maybe which is still I think kind of a lot okay are you ready for industry news
no I have another I have another question oh I'm sorry I didn't know okay this comes from
Lauren oh my god we got a Laura and a Lauren um
I am a 29 year old pregnant with my first due at the end of June I have a 2013 Chevy Sonic with
225 miles on it and my husband has a lifted 2007 Chevy Silverado with 180,000 miles on it
so we would like I said 100,000 miles is not that many how much was their sonic 225
yeah 225 yeah right okay um we would like to get a new car before baby is here I know that goes
against uh first time mom car make it work but it's not as reliable as we would like it and it's
pretty tiny I want to be so clear you are the exception not the rule that's not as hard as fast
rule yeah I know you can let's get you a new car I agree we want three kids we only ever have had
Chevys due to family discounts we are are really struggling and have no idea where to begin do we
go bigger as we usually have cars for 10 plus years or get a midsize we also have a boat that
would be nice to tow with his with this new car to get a camp and hope to get a camper in the
future we do a lot of two to three hour road trips as our family lives all over Michigan
um so this is a really this is really really hard because
I also want to say like you don't necessarily know how much space you need like even me I
have four kids and I can't imagine being anything smaller but even when I had three to me like my
breaking point when I had three kids I wanted to be in a full-size SUV but I have so many people
who have three kids who are so happy in their mid-size SUVs so like that's where I kind of
have to give a little bit of a asterisk because like to me the Atlas was too small for three kids
to me the traverse was too small for three kids I wanted I needed an expedition Tahoe
minivan size when I hit three but again so many people don't so it's kind of hard to know what
side you're going to be on but I would say like with the towing I mean depending on how heavy
things are I mean if it's over five thousand pounds you're probably going to need something full
size so then I would probably tell you any of the full sizes would work excellent and if you
like the Chevy Tahoe I need to say this I do like the Chevy Tahoe I think the Chevy Tahoe is great
I would kind of my only pushback would be like why do you need feel like you need to keep a car
for 10 years like could we just maybe buy a pre-owned car can we buy like you know of I mean
how old what year is her sonic like old 2013 okay I'm not that old but like can we buy a 2017
with the plan to keep it for three to four years until we outgrow it or like do we have to go buy
like a new car to keep for 10 years right now I think sometimes we all need to slow down and ask
ourselves like I know that's what you want to do but like then what you're asking a car to do
is you're asking a car to do something different for the next 10 years and that can be really
difficult and I also just don't know if you like need to be paying a Ford Expedition payment right
now for one kid well and um you know for people who keep their cars for 10 plus years like I have
friends that have done that and everything it's like because you had the luxury to do that
honestly because you were able to like when you have kids and when you have car seats and when
you're trying to haul all these things for all these different phases of life yeah you you can't
always keep things I mean you of course you can you can make it work but just because you've done
that in the past I mean that's how you have to do it for this stage of life no and I think when
people hear that and they they grant themselves permission to not feel like they have to buy
a car and keep it for 10 years it is so freeing and actually a breath of fresh air because it's
like maybe right now in this phase of life that minivan or that car or maybe that that car that
you don't love or that's not your dream car maybe that just gets you through this phase of life
100 Elizabeth there is a lie at the end of the tunnel if that's not where you want to be it's not
always it's not always the smartest choice and people are people think buy a car and keep it is
always the smartest choice and that is not true for a growing family and so many times families
will buy the car with the intention to keep it for 10 years and then it doesn't work because they
had more kids and they were expecting they had surprise twins their financial situation changed
and now they're trying to get out of a 10 year quote 10 year purchase at year three
and now they're in a bad financial situation so my best advice to you would be I would go buy a
used car and drive it until it doesn't work and then if you then buy it off like your 10 year
family car once you have your kids once you know how many kids you're gonna have and how quickly
and you know what kind of mom you're gonna be I would also say if you guys want for this example
she wants three kids um don't know how fast you want three kids but also if you want a camper if
you want the boat you can also put I mean depending on the the size what kind of Silverado your
husband has you can put three car seats in Silverado so maybe maybe the road trip car
is just the Silverado and then you don't need to spend the money in the gas in the gas on a full
size SUV for your daily driver I agree okay those were good Liz are you ready for industry news
where I spell the hot tea going on the auto industry I sure am just two little stories the
first is from car and driver and it says Toyota teases a mysterious new SUV with a blocky design
the Japanese automaker to tease a new vehicle and the shadowy photo shows what looks to be
an SUV with wide hips in a squared off cabin process of elimination makes us think this
could be the new midsize SUV to replace the aging Highlander possibly with an electric power train
this is all they've shared it's like hey can you see this yeah I'm like so she does have
wide hips in a squared off you know I thought imagine that they would have to say that about a
woman but um that is kind of the only way to describe that image yeah it looks interesting
well I'm always interested in an new SUV I wonder when they're going to release it I wonder maybe
it'll be at one of the auto I feel like they're not doing releases at auto shows anymore though
which is kind of sad no they're kind of like planning their own thing which is fine which is fine
which is fine um okay the last story this is just like something kind of funny
so anyway let's anyway let's watch on that but I would be excited about a new Highlander I really
would be they need they honestly need to do it like we need a little bit more something a little
bit more competitive we learned that it will be a new version of an established nameplate
yeah I'm sure it's the Highlander okay the next is this was sort of such a funny instagram this is
from motor one and I guess over the snowstorms this past weekend Chrysler was doing some testing
with the new pacifica mm-hmm and it got trapped in the snow and people were taking pictures of
this spy car stuck in the snow no guess it wasn't the all-wheel drive model kind of funny no
okay Elizabeth I have a football update too that I want to get to really to really fast okay okay
so currently like I was all about the seahawks because of the thing with the popes um but I think
I may be swayed to be cheering for the patriots this year okay because currently Tyler literally
texts or called me this morning he was like do you know about the Patriots quarterbacks wife
and I thought he was like telling me like some crazy drama and I'm like no what
and he's like they're the most regular wholesome looking couple you've ever seen in your life
I was like what Elizabeth get your phone look up Ann Michael May M-A-Y-E
I mean Ann Michael May that's the most basic name Elizabeth like regular I'm telling you
we know these people like they are like we went to high school with her like they are
actually not they're actually so much younger than us like this is one of Grayson's friends
it's not but I'm just saying like they are so I know nothing about these two baby
I know nothing about them except for how cute and whole like look at their little wedding photo
are you kidding me what in the Midwestern I have I know nothing about them except for that fact
I'm obsessed like here she is graduating college I'm scared to see the year oh 2025 okay and that's
quarterback that's the quarterly they just got married this year
I mean this kid this quarterback he looks like a kid
oh this is sweet good for them I know I'm obsessed so you know I love to see I love to see this
like this picture of them on the field I'm like what do you mean this isn't like your high school
homecoming game like it's literally they're darling they're really cute this is what I love to see
I love to see like you know she's probably she was probably like so supportive of him throughout
college or whatever hell ever long they've been together and then like I just want to say like
I'm obsessed I'm like I just want to say like and like they were Elizabeth here they are here
they are in college like they've been dating since college like here she is oh she was a Katie
in her sorority Katie's are always the sweetest like the Kate our mom was a capital but like
every at all the colleges like all of the houses are very different of course I do feel like
capital across the board is always just like the really wholesome sweet innocent girls
I'm gonna like study and like I'm not saying that they like I'm gonna follow her right now I'm
not saying like I don't know if they want kids I don't know what their story is but like I'm just
saying if they do want kids I hope that I come across their desk and I would love to I would
love to serve the maze in any way that I could okay you know I'm surprised you don't get reached
out by like more celebrities to like oh I do I do oh you do like who yeah well I don't know if I
should like say like you don't want to disclose no I don't want to disclose I don't want to disclose
but you know I mean one girl like looks like me like we talk a lot about her oh yeah oh yeah
oh yeah yeah yeah I know that one and then like a lot of the Mormon wives do follow me on Instagram
oh I have quite a few people to follow me I'm not gonna lie just like you know just wait until
they become wait until they need to do three across then I'll be their girl then I'll be their gal
I just looked her up on Instagram you and Grayson's boyfriend are following her
we gotta be Grayson's boyfriend on the pod one of these days
they got Grayson's boyfriend is I'm obsessed aren't they so cute are you still stalking them
like yeah I am I'm obsessed so anyway go do that okay so I'm not dare I say go Pat's like it just
gives and it's so funny because someone either DMed me or posted on the Facebook page like
I know you think the Patriots are boring but do you know the story of the quarterback and let me
be clear that's all it takes for me I need that's all it takes I just need some sorry because now I
was like so hateful about the Rams but then I started seeing all the content I love being on
football the football algorithm it's just like it's I love being a part of something I feel
amazing about it I'm so sad for the Rams now though because the Rams maybe quarterback I don't know
it's this darling wife they have four girls and she dresses them to the nines every single game
these four little girls they had matching moon boots on at the last game they are adorable
that's kind of stuff I'm here for I'm that's that and that is all I I need to see more of this stuff
because then I'm interested don't even get me started on Fernanda Mendozo like if you do not
know the story of Fernanda Mendozo type in Fernanda type in Indiana football and educate yourself
give me the Disney movie tomorrow I'm so I actually love sports wait do I I love sports I love a
story like this okay we're moving on we're moving on to ditch the drive-thru where I give you an
easy dinner recipe to mix it up to get you out of y'all dinner what are you looking at you're a
little distracted right now I thought I'm reading a ditch the drive-thru submission oh well I have
one that's gonna leave you quaking okay well this one looks this one sounds really good I'm
actually considering making for dinner tonight okay well why don't you start okay um my DTD
idea has been a big one at our house lately and even the leftover is being gobbled up it's something
I discovered 10 years ago pre-kids and somehow forgot about until recently and now I'm obsessed
with again these are my favorite recipes it's southwest meatloaf and honestly my family was
gassing me up at the table I kept thinking about how you both you both and how good it felt to get
those inner accolades oh my gosh maybe this one could finally get Liz some flowers too I have
ground beef slime right now I have ground beef on the edge of my teeth for this very loose recipe
no measuring here those are my favorite kinds ground turkey is my favorite but beef works too
I use the Costco pack one and one point seven pounds but one and a half to two pounds is fine
about a cup of crushed tortilla chips okay salt half a jar of salsa shredded cheddar cheese blend
one egg splash of milk salt and pepper mix it all together and put in a greased loaf pan
bake at two fifth bake at 350 timing depends on how thick it is if it's all it might take like an hour
but check at 45 minutes or it could take like 30 minutes she says I like to broil it briefly
for I like to broil it at the end for a crispy top we serve it with Mexican style riceroni
corn sometimes refried beans or bell peppers sour cream salsa and avocado are great add-ons
this is not adding up to me but like I'm I really want to trust Kendall here
well I trust Kendall wholeheartedly all this is is serving you're just serving serving it in a low
form and like I love the idea of like then having all my toppings like my sour cream and salsa and
avocado like kind of like throwing that on top this sounds like really nice I'm obsessed okay that's
screenshot this to you so you can see it okay so my touch the drive through is so inspired on my
past weekend because mom so dad came down to the farm with us yesterday and mom our mom's actually
in Australia right now going to visit Sydney and our poor father is now without mother for 10 days
I think it's that's the longest I've ever been apart they're quaking they're quaking I'm quaking
I'm like so nervous for him I'm like checking on him all the time and it's called me two times already
today like just I mean like he's it's it's interesting um anyway so mom sent dad with
with a half a honey baked ham and like I just want to say like you can just buy a honey baked
ham at any time of the year yeah and we made then we had Hawaiian rolls swiss cheese this
honey baked ham dirties if you don't know dirties you don't know what you're missing
dirties I'm not going to get into it right now I'm not going to get into right now look it up
and buy that condiment hundred percent it's a condiment to always have on hand so this honey
baked ham was the kids couldn't believe it they were just asking for extra pieces of ham I mean
who doesn't love a honey baked ham but it got me thinking like we know you get one around Easter
or around like Christmas I'm gonna buy one for our next lake week yeah that's a good idea I'm gonna
buy a freaking ham yeah I'm gonna buy a ham it's in the fridge I'll chop it up for breakfast
we'll have sandwiches on the boat and then you know I'm gonna save that bone and I'm gonna make the
meanest ham and bean soup you've ever seen yeah put in a breakfast quiche yeah do a little like
carbonara pasta with it I mean like true buy I'm like that's I'm buying a honey baked ham next
time we go to the lake one of my favorite dinners that mom used to make was literally
slice the honey baked ham like mac and cheese dirties and like I don't know peas peas or
something should always do it with peas so good I'm just saying like if you want to like
ditch the and like also I mean they are a little so like the half a ham
dad said it was a half a honey baked ham it was 70 bucks that is expensive but I'm telling you
it was so much ham and also that's what he said I I need to price check him but I also think you
can make honey baked ham I think you can just buy a spiralized ham from Aldi's and like then make
make it make the honey glaze yourself into it there's lots to look into I wouldn't kind of
surprise if it's actually that much because pork is usually pretty affordable let me google it really
fast but I'm telling you it was so much ham yeah I would not really like serve like at a pool party
like I just think we need to be thinking about honey baked ham more she does not get the credit
she deserves well she's just put in a box for the holidays and I just don't think she should be
okay no does everyone have honey baked hams like it's like it's a store
no there's a honey baked ham store called honey baked ham I'm wondering if that's like just a us thing
I don't think so but I actually don't know let me look it up okay I'm just like okay here we go
okay no a bone in ham is between 86 to 140 dollars oh my gosh but that's for oh that's a half ham
okay I kind of need to back okay that was okay but you can get other ones so you can get a small
boneless ham a corner bone in ham but like how many people does that feed oh you can order ham
online from honey baked ham company okay so to serve up to so for a hundred and 18 dollars you get a
10 pound ham and it serves up to 13 people so what's a hundred and 18 divided by 13
can you do that for me really fast sorry what did you say 118 divided by 13
it's less than 10 dollars a person
sorry I don't know how my calculator out okay now what is it
this is so embarrassing 118 divided by 13 okay nine
so for nine dollars a person so there you go so it's expensive so maybe that's why it's a holiday
thing but like totally buy it have your plan in place to use it to it's full no but also
like when you go on vacation like okay to serve 13 people something to go out to dinner for 13
people that's insane and I'm telling you you need this ham and then you get Hawaiian rolls and
dorkies and swiss cheese and like it's the best line it's it's the best lunch yeah and you can make
a ham and bean soup with it so you're getting two meals okay I love it sounds really I was thinking
I'm gonna maybe look up if I can make it myself because I think you could just buy spiralized
ham and then honey bake it I don't know too soon to tell but anyway guys that's gonna be our episode

About this episode
Kelly and Liz share nostalgic stories about their childhood adventures, including their unique sledding experiences and the joys of parenting. They discuss the challenges of raising kids, from camping in a water tank to navigating the complexities of toys and playtime. The conversation also touches on their favorite TV shows and the struggles of potty training. Listeners will find relatable anecdotes about family life, the balance of joy and difficulty in parenting, and the importance of cherishing childhood moments.
Original notes
Did this week feel like the longest week ever to anyone else? Kelly and Lizz have made it through to Friday and temperatures finally reached above freezing. The kids spent the last week enjoying sledding in the snow and even doing a little camping... for all of 20 minutes... Plus, there was some quality TV time with Lizz getting into "The Landman" and Kelly introducing her daughter to "The Parent Trap."
Looking into Last Three Transactions, Kelly is still on her Fisher Price grind. Good news - she found the minivan! The Amazon table saga isn't over as another one is on the way to the Stumpe house. Lizz is stocking up on her favorite Lululemon leggings for herself and poo dinos for the kids... It's a potty training thing.
Two advice questions this week come from moms on the opposite ends of the parenting spectrum, one with her first kid and the other with three older kids including a teenager. They both need car advice for this season of their life. In Industry News, Kelly has details on a new Toyota SUV and the Chrysler spec car that got stuck in the snow. Finally in Ditch the Drive-Thru is a recipe for a southwest meatloaf that you're going to want to make tonight.
