SummaryON TWO DIFFERENT PLANETS
2w ago00:34:33Summary readyMonday was in full Monday force for Lizz this week with a nightmare DoorDash fail. So this podcast starts with no coffee, no food and no refund. Combine that with the pregnancy pain and Lizz is not starting off on the right foot. Kelly, on the other hand, continues to be on an entirely different planet as she is living her summer life. She even went out with friends and had some alcoholic beverages! Don't even get her started on the ice cream socials. She is THRIVING! Then it's time to chat with another mom for Side Hustle Summer! Sarah started "Sadie's House" as a little side project making beautiful fabric frames. She quickly found a customer base and the business is thriving! She talked to Kelly and Lizz about how she started and how she uses Etsy to find the best customers for her products. Plus, a lazy pizza hack that is going to leave you floored!

SummaryLET'S NAME LIZZ'S BABY!!!
3w ago01:01:18Summary readyIt's a post 4th of July pod and Kelly is continuing to live her best summer life. Being in her kid era, she spent the weekend playing the best pool games with the kids and making her summer notes. Lizz, on the other hand, is at the point in her pregnancy where she's too pregnant to go anywhere and unfortunately is not feeling great. She would rather have the third kid at this point than be pregnant anymore. Some new icks have been uncovered. You know when someone asks if you've heard a song and then sings it for you when you say you haven't? That's a new Kelly ick. Lizz is watching hospital packing videos on Instagram and getting so annoyed when it's obvious that the creators haven't used a single item they packed and just included them to get credit on Amazon. Ick! But the biggest part of this episode is the return of Colleen from Naming Bebe to make Lizz's dream come true - a baby name consultation! Will she find a name that both Lizz and Matty like? And what about the name Kelly?
SummarySIDE HUSTLE SUMMER IS BACK!
4w ago00:53:19Summary readyKelly is back from her family vacation and is ready to make a bold statement: lake vacations are better than beach vacations.

Lizz, on the other hand, is coming to the realization that having three kids is going to rock her world. Baby is due in 40 days and they still don't have a name. BUT the dresser is built, so all is not lost. Plus, she did a full baby haul on Prime Day and is planning to put together her go-bag this week so the prep has started. But the big news of this episode (besides Kelly's rib success) is that Side-Hustle Summer is BACK! To kick it off Kelly and Lizz are talking to Shannon, who started her own mobile spray tan business. She tells the story of how she started and why she loves running her own business. You can check out Shannon on Instagram @glow.byshannon
