Description: Lizz future career in impressions may be uncertain, but her baby on the way and new house are both sure things. Kelly is getting her first peak at the place soon and planning her future Trader Joe's, Target, and Lizz runs. Today's millennial word of the day is 'raw dogging a flight.'

Today, Consumer Reports has an auto division that is entirely funded by Consumer Reports subscriptions ensuring their reviews are as impartial as possible.  Every car goes through a break-in process to receive its road test score. By the end of 6 to 12 months the car has accumulated 10,000-20,000 miles including everyday driving tests. They then receive reliability and owner satisfaction ratings. In 2023 Consumer Reports had also collected over 330,000 responses on individual cars adding to their robust consumer data.  → Get a year of Consumer Reports at $10 OFF when you go to www.consumerreports.org/thecarmom Ditch the drive-through with Jennifer is her favorite mom hack, rotisserie chicken and roasted cauliflower. → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Write in your advice questions!
