The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz

A LOT has happened in the last week! Kelly has gone to and returned from New York. Lizz has gone in and out of the hospital. Little Sloane's infection from last week wasn't improving and ultimately required surgery. Luckily, she is on the mend but now Lizz has a concerning medical issue of her own. Will she ever get a break? 

Over at the Stumpe household, Kelly has a couple new micro-hobbies. First, she has done down the TikTok rabbit hole of American Girl dolls and trying to get her daughter Hattie into them. She had a doll as a kid and Lizz got stuck with the lesser version, which led to some unrevealed trauma. The other micro-hobby will help keep the kids busy this summer. R.E.P.S. is the new system in her house and this is an idea you are going to want to steal! 

There is a TON to talk about post New York Auto Show, including a bunch of reveals. From the Atlas to the Hyundai Boulder, Kelly is breaking down all the hits and misses. Plus, she got to check out their sister's New York apartment while in town and she has notes. 

Before they Ditch the Drive-Thru, Kelly and Lizz give an update on their Lent accomplishments. Kelly has learned a lot about her health during her sugar-free journey and is ready to share it. The 40 Days of Less was a big hit for Lizz and has inspired her to keep clutter to a minimum.

There's been some drama this week in the St. John household as Lizz ended up spending a couple of nights in the hospital with Sloan. What the doctor first thought was an ear infection turned out to be an infected salivary gland. An important lesson was learned: always check the lymph nodes! Also, why aren't there more reviews for pediatricians? 

Over at the Stumpe household, things were a little more calm as they had an adults-only dinner with zero kids! They also have new residents at the farm with the addition of three new lambs and some baby chicks just in time for Easter. The timing is extra perfect as Tyler is about to become a Catholic. Plus, they are learning all the benefits adults gain from using a trampoline. Could this be the next workout trend? 

The internet has been full of drama this week and Kelly has SO much to say about the Barbie Dream Fest drama. This is NOT something you will see at The Car Mom Auto Show! Meanwhile, Lizz is still on her organization grind and has gained some new, inspiring tips thanks to social media. 

Industry News this week is all about what to expect at the New York Auto Show. Make sure you are following Kelly to get all the latest news you need to know! Outside of the Auto Show, there is some hot tea coming from Stellantis. Why are they giving tickets to their own employees?!? 

Finally in Ditch the Drive-Thru, Lizz has the perfect outside meal for the summer and Kelly is all about cabbage soup.

Kelly is in for a solo episode today and this one is great if you are thinking of buying a car for your family. Drawing on her years of consulting experience, Kelly shares everything you need to know before heading to the dealership. She'll break down what to know before you go, what to know while you're there and the most common mistakes you could make. Can you make your current car work? What are your plans for the next 5 years? She'll give you all the questions you'll need to ask yourself before deciding which car is right for you.

In case you're not on the Youtube private channel, Kelly has been on another health journey. Hives have appeared everywhere and now she's on a brand new diet that is going to make Easter very boring this year. But not all is wrong as two new additions to the farm that is bringing plenty of excitement: a trampoline and piglets! 

Meanwhile, Lizz has an After Action Report of the St. Louis zoo and the nearby cathedral. What is an "After Action Report"? This is definitely an idea you're going to want to steal for your family. 

There's a new fashion trend on Instagram and it's going to humble the Gen Z girls. For years they have had the pleasure of walking around in sneakers and comfortable boots. They don't know what we had to go through dancing on tables in heels. Now they will know our pain! 

Then it's on to a very special interview with Jen Morand, the woman in charge at the Chicago Auto Show. She will talk about who goes to the auto show, why they go to the auto show and spills the tea on the manufacturers that don't show up.
