    Mar 11 2026
    It was a BIG weekend for both Kelly and Lizz. First off, yes, there is a new addition to the St. John household. Lizz got a puppy! Now you might be thinking: why get a puppy while pregnant? She explains the whole story behind getting the new puppy and why this is actually the perfect time, even if she has to have a good cry every once in a while. Kelly's big weekend started with her FINALLY purchasing the Fisher Price dollhouse of her dreams. It cost $500, but it's an investment! This is something she plans on having her grandchildren play with. Then, it was off to another dinner auction! Is Kelly more of a silent or live auction girl? Turns out, she can't really decide. In Industry News, Volkswagen is releasing its redesigned Atlas and somehow hasn't invited the Car Mom to check it out. How rude! Finally, in Ditch The Drive-Thru it's all about the chuck roast. Oh, and a check-in on Kelly's sugar-free journey.

    SHE'S A CAR MOM, SHE'S A COW MOM
    Feb 27 2026
    There's a new arrival on the farm! Ms. Moly the cow has joined the Stumpe household and the whole family is in love. Tyler joins the podcast briefly this week to answer all your burning baby cow questions. In case you were wondering, Kelly is continuing her book club but is behind on this month's book (which she picked btw). Let's just say this is not one she recommends. Over at the St. John house, Lizz has become obsessed with cleaning and decluttering her home. She's spending hours on Facebook Marketplace getting rid of things she won't use, including baby shoes. This brings up a potential hot take: shoes for babies that can't walk are a waste of money. Regardless, Lizz is learning a lot about herself from her '40 Days of Less' as is Kelly with her sugar-free lent. Kelly has a new Base Model Luxury that is really brightening her mornings. She puts spoons in the freezer overnight and uses them in the morning to depuff her face. It might sound odd, but honestly this could be your new favorite habit. If you've been waiting for the Car Mom Auto Show tickets to go on sale, Kelly and Lizz have an important update today on the podcast! Then, it's time to answer more advice questions and this week includes a non-car inquiry. Should Jen be mad at her friends? Wrapping up the episode with a yummy Ditch the Drive-Thru and a quick Industry News to send you into your weekend. Get Kelly's yoga pants: https://go.shopmy.us/p-44709952
