Girl get together ideas, house shopping, postpartum sundowners, and a much needed interview with Jessica Jermakian, VP of vehicle research at the IIHS have this episode filled to the brim.
"That totally pencils" is a phrase Kelly stands by, and sister language is the new slang that smacks. Brown cow stunning is just between Kelly and Lizz.
In today's driveway dumps, Kelly is now the widget mom advocating for moms everywhere to make their iPhone work for them. She's also making a perspective shift and finding balance by the week. She says, "Normalize giving yourself grace and going with your energy for the day." Lizz has an impressive idea for a girls get together. If you're in your making-a-new-mom-friend era listen up! Everyone brings 1-2 flower bouquets, mixes and matches them at the gather, and takes home a truly beautiful bouquet. And when your kiddos want to add to your flower collection, take a cue from Kelly and consider a tiny vase to make their picked dandelions extra cute.

In today's industry interview, Jessica Jermakian shares why the IIHS tests above and beyond the government crash testing to measure self-protection and crash avoidance testing—including pedestrian collision avoidance testing. She also shares some little known auto-facts. SUVs are no longer outlier vehicles and nearly half of all fatal crashes are single-vehicle crashes.
The IIHS full-size SUV crash test ratings are in and while the results aren't what everyone hoped they would be, they're likely to inspire change in the auto industry. Out of the three top selling SUVs—Wagoneer, Tahoe, and Expedition—the Wagoneer was the only vehicle that got credit for the IIHS top safety pick award. The Armada and Sequoia remain on the IIHS radar for future tests.
Kelly is bringing a delicious copycat Chick-Fil-A sandwich to today's ditch the drive-through. All you need is the Chick-Fil-A sauce and Aldi's chicken patties, hamburger buns, and pickles. Air fry your chicken breasts and pop the buns in for the last minute.
