The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz

The baby news is out and Lizz is feeling loved and seen. But is she feeling a little less nauseous? Not so much... Kicking off the podcast talking about having 3 under 3 and why the timing just worked out. Also, Kelly knows the sex of baby #3 and is NOT telling! Meanwhile over at the Stumpe house, Kelly is working through some sleep training issues and potty training issues. A tip Lizz recently got from her pediatrician might be the game changer we all have been looking for when it comes to potty training.  The year 2016 is all over social media this week, which leads Kelly and Lizz to time travel to that year and remember what their lives were like. What were they wearing? What were they doing? Life before Amazon could get us anything overnight was definitely different. Speaking of trending, the next trending food is making itself known and it's one of Kelly and Lizz's favorites: the sweet potato!  Lizz is concerned that Kelly has lost the plot when it comes to Base Model Luxury. Is curating the content in your purse a luxury? What Kelly won't ever lose the plot to is Industry News and today's edition is chock full of tea! GM is committing to more plugin hybrids, the Hyundai CRATER Concept car is getting a ton of buzz and Honda is updating their logo. But the BIGGEST news of the day is the reveal of the Car Mom Car of the Year!

There's some BIG news to kick off the Carpool today, but we aren't spoiling it here! You gotta listen to get all the deets. Then, Kelly and Lizz have a lot to talk about on the Driveway Dumps. Kelly is getting rid of more items on Facebook Marketplace and is enjoying just putting them out for free. Lizz is getting in fights with random people in the comment section. Both are falling for the targeted ads on Instagram, leading to the purchase of a LARGE paint by number set.  This week, Kelly and Lizz have a listener submitted Base Model Luxury and we're wondering why we never thought of this. Get ready for the Chuck-it Bucket! It doesn't sound glamorous, but we promise this could change your dinnertime routine!  You are going to remember where you were when you heard today's Industry News. Stellantis is ending production on some of our favorite vehicles and we are not okay. Why aren't they coming to the Car Mom before they make any of these decisions?!?  Finally, this week's Ditch the Drive-Thru is VERY needed by one of the mom's today who has been doing a TON of DoorDash lately!  If you love the "Everything But the Elote" seasoning from Trader Joe's, this elevated mac and cheese is going to make it to your recipe list asap.

Finishing off the first week back to normalcy after the holidays and the Carpool ladies are getting back into the routine. They're both trying to make sure they are fully dressed in something other than athleisure. So far, they are noticing some major differences. But will it last? It's time to see what Kelly and Lizz have been buying so far in 2026 with Last Three Transactions. Kelly kicks it off with a butter dish that has a very interesting story behind it that reveals a relationship truth we might not want to hear, but need to. Lizz has a reveal of her own as we discover she still is shopping at Victor's Secret. Plus, a bonus future transaction Kelly is trying to get done to get her husband to finally get some decorations on their bare walls! Industry News is extra special this week as it is time for the Car Mom Car of the Year! Kelly and Lizz are revealing the top 4 contenders for the year. Did your favorite make the cut?

But why won't anyone just tell us moms what they want to eat?!?

Welcome to the first episode of 2026! Kelly and Lizz have survived the holiday break (barely) and ready to kick off a new year of podcasts. First things first, it's time to reveal their words for 2026 and these are some things we should all take with us into the new year. Speaking of words of the year, the unintentional word of the year for 2025 was coined right on this podcast: micro-hobbies! Kelly has a new one and it involves joining a club. Plus, her football micro-hobby is going strong and getting ready for the playoffs.  Big announcement for the Car Mom, new merch is here! This one is for all the minivan lovers out there. Since they are on the minivan topic, it's time to talk about Pete Davidson's tricked out minivan. Are you over the "I'm getting a COOL minivan" cliche?  Kelly and Lizz also have some new base model luxuries. Some are better than others...  Checking in with Industry News, Mitsubishi continues to try and find their way in automotives. So far they haven't been successful, could that change soon? Speaking of success, Stellantis sales are down once again for 2025. What can save them?  In Ditch the Drive-Thru, Kelly made a beef soup that impressed the entire family on New Year's Day. It was so good that even Lizz had seconds!  Get your "Never Say Never" sweatshirt now at tensionandthreadco.com

It's New Year's Eve and while many are excited to celebrate, Kelly and Lizz are not into the holiday. Could it be where they are at in their lives or is it just the holiday itself? The day they are excited for is January 5th! Speaking of holidays, Christmas has come and gone and somehow the Stumpe household has made it illness free. The St John house wasn't so lucky, but everyone had a great Christmas. Kelly and Lizz break it all down along with the notes they made for next year. Can't let this week go without a football update. If you have no idea what is going on in the NFL don't worry, Kelly has all the details you need to know. What will her next obsession be for 2026? Since they are on the subject, has Kelly or Lizz picked out their word for next year?
