Podcast: The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz
Published On: Tue Jul 16 2024
Description: Kelly is spilling the story of going from mommy blogger to mature brand that stands up next to brands like Car and Driver with the new The Car Mom Logo (that made her cry). The moral of the story—if you don't want anyone's feedback, don't put it out there until it's official. Kelly can't spell her baby name yet, but she's loving the nickname that starts with a different letter than the name itself. And this isn't the first time she's played the naming game, she also helped Lizz get her edge with a little spelling tweak.  Today's driveway dumps are full to the brim with parenting perspectives and married date night hacks. Kelly learned the hard way this weekend to set low expectations when you're planning something fun for one of your kids. Drop the news close to the event, undersell the event, and pack a diaper bag. The reality of being a mom of two is setting in for Lizz. Kelly's best advice? Get on your snack game. And the gals agree—parenting personalities aren't right or wrong, parenting 'experts' should have some real experience under their belt, and everyone should be more aware of who they're taking recommendations from online.  There's nothing that will come between you and your husband like a week with your kids or a crazy busy schedule—like this week getting ready for The Car Mom Auto Show. Kelly shares the progressive date night she planned for the week after as well as a listener-submitted hack for when you have an event to attend with your spouse.
