YOUR CHILDREN ARE THE ENEMY, NOT YOUR HUSBAND

For the first time in a long time, Kelly and Lizz are in-person for today's episode! But the bigger news might be the newest addition to Lizz's house in the form of 1/4 a cow and 1/2 a hog. In the midst of the fall craziness, it's time to plan a 30th birthday for the youngest of the Carpool ladies. But what does Lizz really want to do on her big day? 

A new millennial word of the day has everyone asking what could lose them "aura points." Lizz's Fast Lane Philosophy reminds everyone that your spouse is not the enemy and to not take the day's stress out of them. Then, Kelly's new Base Model Luxury has her loving the simple joy of washing her face at the end of a long day. 

Why does nobody talk about how hard it is to find matching family outfits for photo shoots? Lizz is stressing out in the Driveway Dump over finding the perfect outfits for another family photo and is wondering why there isn't one great Instagram page with ideas. Kelly has a question on when a photo deserves to be framed. Plus, an advice question leads to Kelly sharing her new two present rule for her kids at Christmas. Will she stick to it? 

Big stories in Industry News, including the Ford Bronco sales decline, SUV of the year and finalists for the Car Mom Car of the Year! Kelly is bringing the Ditch the Drive Thru with a lemon pepper chicken Caesar salad with noodles that Lizz has some questions about. 

Starting in November the Carpool is bringing back "Blake's Besties." Send the stories of the little ones you lost way too soon to hello@thecarmomofficial.com
