Kelly (2:46)

Trail down on your notes.

Liz (2:48)

I think I did. But you're right. My Christmas lights have. Or my Christmas tree has a strand burnt out. We didn't put any lights up outside. Like, it's gotten too cold. I can't believe how much money people are spending to put up to have someone professionally install Christmas lights on their house. Like, we don't do that.

Liz (3:08)

So I'm just, like, decor wise. I'm not feeling very decor wise.

Kelly (3:12)

You have notes. You have notes for yourself, and I think that's fine. I've worn my Christmas sweater three times since the podcast, so you could say I'm getting my money's worth out of that thing. And I'm loving seeing the ugly simmer pots take over my mentions on Instagram.

Morgan Taylor Price (3:30)

Yeah.

Kelly (3:30)

So good job on your ugly simmer pots. It's. I don't know. I'm feeling holly jolly, and there's still so much holiness and jolliness to have.

Kelly (3:38)

I need to.

Kelly (3:42)

Take inventory. I think I'm done with. I think I am done.

Kelly (3:49)

With presents, and I think I know how I'm organizing them.

Kelly (3:54)

More on that later. Sorry. I'm, like, looking over there at said things.

Kelly (4:00)

But, yeah, I'm just. I don't know. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling, I'm feeling the Christmas spirit. I'm hoping for a little bit more snow. I'd love a white Christmas if I could truly paint my perfect picture.

Kelly (4:12)

And I'm genuinely looking forward to Christmas break. You know, one of our episodes that we did last year was how we plan to, like, get the most out of our Christmas break. Things we plan on, like, doing. Because Christmas break, it rocks me because it's just, it throws everyone off their routine. And it's like such a. It's like such a temporary thing. Like, even summer, I think, is easier because you're settling into what, like, the new routine's going to be. Christmas break, I find so hard because, you know, the kids get off school around, like, what, the 21st, 22nd, and then you have a couple of days of, like, not a lot, and then you have the craziness of, like, Christmas, and then you have the week between Christmas and New Year's of, like, not a lot, and then they go back to school. So it's like every day, every week is so different. Whereas, like, the summer, it's longer. You get into a rhythm. So I remember I had a horrible Christmas break last year. I know I've spoken about this at length. I mean, you literally would have thought like. I mean, it was traumatic for like, I'm genuinely some of the. Looking back, I was probably having some postpartum depression because I was only about like two and a half months postpartum. So like, maybe that was part of my problem if I'm. Because it's like, why was I so bad?

Kelly (5:27)

So I'm thinking about like, you know, things we're going to do. I've been excited because I have found I've seen some like, activities come across my desk. Some day camps come across my desk. Oh, so like on the 23rd, there's this like, art. This kid's art camp from like 8 to 12. I signed George and Hattie up for it. I'm like, it's perfect. Like, that's so fun. Get them out of the house, something for them to do. So I'm kind of going to. I love busy toddler's tip of. She prints off the month of December's calendar and then she hangs it on the fridge and she like puts like. I mean, her kids can read, so she just like puts what's. Like what, what they have going on. My kids can't really read yet. So I'm thinking about just like doing em. But I want to make a physical calendar for the kids to look at so like, they can know like, what, what's happening. Like, you know, like, this day we're going to do gingerbreads. This day we're doing breakfast with a Santa. This day we're going to Christmas at Gigi's. This day we're going to Christmas at Grandma Barbies. Like, they need that.

Liz (6:29)

Yeah.

Kelly (6:29)

Because I feel like for them during their spring, they have no idea what every day is going to bring. And I think that can be a little unsettling too. So.

Liz (6:37)

And you also, you also don't want to like, give them too much of like, oh, well, we're gonna be going to do breakfast with Santa in five days. Because then they're like, oh, well, are we gonna go do that now? And it's probably good for them to physically see and be able to count that down.

Kelly (6:54)

I agree with you. But yeah, I just want to. I just want to take like the 15, 20, 30 minutes and really plan out my days. And like, if it's a day that I know we don't have.

Kelly (7:10)

And it's gonna be a day of rest, like, I just want to have that day Planned. It's like, it's a day of rest. Like, we're gonna reset because we have the busy weekend. Or it's like we're. I. I don't know. I need myself. I myself need to do it because I know it's in my head what we have, but I haven't yet really, like, looked at it logistically of, like, where we need to be. How many days in a row do we have things? How many naps are we basically gonna be skipping? How many days in a row? So I need to do that because I need to have a redemption. This is my redemption era.

Liz (7:39)

Tangible takeaway alert. Something that I have done from Thanksgiving because we were just gonna be gone all day and I couldn't fathom, like, how many diapers I needed for two kids. I have an extra diaper caddy. I have a diaper caddy packed with diapers and wipes in the trunk of my car. And I'm keeping it loaded all of December because between all of the random events that we're attending, I at the very least know I have plenty of diapers and wipes in the back of my car.

Kelly (8:12)

No, that I'm going to be taking that. That, that tangible takeaway. Because I agree, of course. I have, like, my center console stash. I need to.

Liz (8:21)

We're gone all day sometimes.

Kelly (8:23)

We're gone all day. And I should have about an extra bottle, like an empty extra bottle for Libby. Maybe some snacks in case, you know, you get to somewhere. And then like, they get. I need for the kids some snacks. Change of clothes.

Liz (8:35)

Yeah, change of pajamas. Because you never know if you're staying out too late and you want to be able to put them in pajamas.

Kelly (8:40)

How late are you staying out? And, like, I feel like if they're Christmas pajamas and, like, then it's a middle of the day thing and you have an accident. It's like, okay, they're still festive. Like, it's fine. Yeah, I'm definitely. And yeah, packing the diapers and wipes and just not having to think, like, taking one thing off your plate. I'm taking that. That's a great.

Liz (8:56)

Thank you.

Kelly (8:56)

Great, great, tangible takeaway.

Liz (8:58)

Thank you.

Kelly (8:59)

That's a great one.

Kelly (9:02)

Something else I wanted to talk about was I touched on this on my Instagram story, and it's just like a mindset shift that I had that really just totally changed how I think about my days in my housework, I guess you could say. And there it's kind of like two parts to this theory. Theory. One Is blooming where you're planted. Theory two is going deep, not wide. And what that means is you know when you have. And I noticed that the most with Libby's age, because I said this a hundred times, I find Libby's age 9 to 18 months. Hate. It's my least favorite age. I know. They're so cute. And thank goodness they are. Cause that's about all they have going for them in my opinion. They are such terrors. At least not terrors. That's not the right word. They're so busy and they're so dangerous. Libby is always trying to get into things and climb on things.

Kelly (9:58)

They're just dangerous. And Libby is especially dangerous because Libby moves, Libby is such, she moves like a two year old.

Liz (10:05)

She's very advanced.

Kelly (10:07)

Yeah, very advanced. Like climbing, walking, running. But she's like 15 months old so she like doesn't have any sort of awareness. And she's also my fourth. So like, I mean my attention's already getting split four different ways. Like it is just. She's very hard right now. So like if I'm with her in the kitchen, so there I'm not getting. I can't rinse a dish. Literally the only thing I can do is sit with her in her high chair because if I get up she will climb out of her high chair. Like she's crazy.

Kelly (10:39)

And I, and I, I've I've of course gone through this with all of my kids and a mindset shift that I had was okay. Instead of like trying to clean the kitchen because that's what the dirtiest like. Let me just. Where does Libby need to go? Where is a safer place to go with Libby? What, like what is Libby doing right now? And what can I get done where Libby is now? I'm a busybody. I just like to.

Kelly (11:02)

Get things done. That's just, I mean I, I'm the kind of person who like I don't relax till the house is clean. Like I don't need to relax first and then clean. I need to clean, then relax. And I just like to get things done. And also like I just told you, I'm chasing around my 15 month old. I'm not relaxing. It's like I might as well be doing something because I'm not just sitting there relaxing.

Kelly (11:22)

So I started like. So for example, this weekend I was in Libby's room because like that's where she was safe, wanted to be. She was playing with a baby doll, you know, climbing on whatever the bed that was in there. That's like, not that high off the ground. It's fine. And I was looking around, I'm like, you know, this room's pretty clean. Like, there's really not much to do here. I'd love to be clean in my bathroom or the kitchen instead. But I said, no, this is where I am. This is where I'm bloom. Where I'm planted. What can I do? I changed her sheets. Did her sheets need to be changed? No. Well, I mean, yes and no. Like, they could always be changed. Change her sheets. I windexed her windows because she had fingerprints all over them. I wiped down her baseboards. Like, when was I ever gonna get around to doing that?

Liz (11:59)

Yeah.

Kelly (12:00)

And then I went through some of the kids clothes. I picked out their. This was on Friday. I was doing this, and I picked out their church outfits for Sunday, which, like, I normally don't do in advance. But like, that. That's. I was around their clothes, so I was like, this is what I'm gonna do right now. And just that little shift, you know, it makes me feel more productive in my day. And I've. We also had. We also talked about this a couple weeks ago when it comes to bath time, because I find bath time to be a joy because that's when I can get a lot of. I can do a ton of things in my bathroom. Like, I can maybe curl my hair. I can fold laundry. I can clean my bathroom. Like, I can get so many things done there. I love when they take a bath.

Kelly (12:41)

So I just think that's a really important, a mindset shift to try to have is don't worry about what's on the to do list. Like, don't worry about what's the messiest. Focus on going deep because that's. That's the opportunity that you have in front of you. So, like, if your kids are in the basement playing, well, it's not like going wide would be cleaning up the toys. Like, that's silly because they're playing. Going deep would be dusting or like vacuuming or deep cleaning the bathroom somewhere or doing the baseboards. Like, focus on doing things that aren't going to get trashed right away.

Liz (13:14)

I'll say.

Kelly (13:15)

Because then at the end of the day, you will clean up the toys and then you'll have clean baseboards and a clean floor, and it's a win. Win.

Liz (13:22)

I just think when you're just with your, like just watching a kid play or, like, that's just the circumstance you're in, I find myself to be so, so much happier with my circumstance when I am doing something productive. Because when I'm just scrolling on my phone and and it's not a good look in front of your kids, I don't like doing that as much. And I know and I do it more than I would like to. But then I'm also irritable.

Liz (13:47)

Even if I'm trying to like do things productive on my phone like for work or scheduling appointments or whatever. Like just something about the screen of like they come up or they need me. I'm like irritable cause I'm like I'm trying to get this done. But like if I'm cleaning baseboards and they come over, then I might be like, hey, why don't you help me with this? Like, why don't you? Like this is what I'm doing. Like you can just like it just offers opportunities and I am just, just so much happier when I am moving and getting something done with my kids around.

Kelly (14:21)

So am I. So am I.

Kelly (16:54)

So that was great. Another thing I wanted to tell you was I have hacked Hattie's clothes. This is so random, but I was, I was in. I was in Libby's room. We were going through clothes. I was going through Hattie's clothes. So they're in Louise's room. Okay. Long story. I'm so proud of Hattie's wardrobe right now because it is. I love to dress Hattie in colors and I love to do, like, mixed patterns. I just think, like, mixed patterns on little girls is, like, so sweet and precious and like, I'm kind of an. I feel like I'm really getting good at it. Like, you know, like star pants, striped shirt, or like, I don't know. I just feel like I'm kind of mastering the mixed patterns and I love.

Kelly (17:33)

Well, let me back up. Now that I have two and two, I really do kind of think about, like, everything that Hattie wears. Libby's going to wear. Everything that George wears, Fred's going to wear. So I really am kind of looking at it from the lens of, like, this needs to last two kids. And now that Hattie is in a size 6ish, they're kind of lasting two seasons because, like, she's like, the sizes are. And I'm just trigger warning if you're with kids, but the sizes are marked as a six and a seven.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (18:00)

Mm.

Kelly (18:01)

Do you know, like, you know, I had to say the trigger warning.

Liz (18:03)

Oh, yeah, dumb. Six, seven.

Kelly (18:07)

Anyway, so, like, it'll probably fit her next year. So I'm gonna get two seasons from her, two seasons from Libby. Like, I'm good to invest in the pieces. I love Bowdoin T. Hannah Anderson Gap. Like, those are my ride or dies for Hattie Obsessed. Especially Bowdoin. Like, it is my favorite. Bowdoin is so expensive. Like, I would never. I would never. I think I've bought one thing new from Bowdoin from Hattie, but she has a ton of bowdoin. Because I buy Bowdoin on one Facebook marketplace. I love when they do a lot like Bowdoin lot. Yes, I love a lot. I got her eight pairs of leggings for $40. That's $5 a legging. Bowdoin Leggings, like, basically robbed at gunpoint. I'm surprised that the police weren't called when I picked up that Facebook marketplace order.

Kelly (18:57)

And I found a Bowdoin resale group, like, a mini Bowdoin resale group on Facebook. I'm loving these types of groups. I'm joining them. Left and right tea collection, Hannah Anderson little sleepies. Like, let me just join them all. And I have found some amazing pieces for Hattie on these groups. And I'm telling you, it's less work than buying it online because all you do in these groups and, you know, they're all a little different. They all have their own group rules, so you kind of got to figure it out. But all you do is someone posts something and you say sold, and you give them your PayPal email, and then they PayPal invoice you, and you pay it, and then the PayPal invoice sends them your address. So, like, literally, I have to get my credit card out, and I'm just, like, done.

Liz (19:37)

Yeah, that's really nice. I need. I'm, like, trying to find. I want to look into this because it's a really good idea to just, like, join Facebook groups.

Kelly (19:46)

So I'm getting them for cheaper.

Liz (19:48)

Especially when you know you love the brand, then you feel so good about pulling the trigger on it.

Kelly (19:54)

Totally. And I love the brand, and the quality is good. Like, it's. Yeah, it's good quality. So I feel fine buying it. And I'm telling you, like, they're just such good pieces. So that has been, like, a really fun. Yeah. I don't even want to tell people because then everyone's just gonna, like, steal it from me. So just know if you have, like, this is so cute. I need to stop, like, now, now. I'm looking and I'm like, oh, my gosh, I need.

Kelly (20:22)

I love it, I love it.

Kelly (20:25)

And so what also I did this weekend was, you know, as. I was just like all these.

Liz (20:29)

Sorry, I have a question. Are all these Facebook groups the same where you just say mine or I want it or whatever? You're the first.

Kelly (20:34)

Well, that's what I'm saying. You have to read. That was. I don't know. You've got to read the groups. But like, oh, my gosh, look at this coat. Coat with mittens, Very good used condition. This boating coat is happy size. Oh, see? 11 comments. See, it's done. It's toast.

Liz (20:49)

Well, how does it have 11 comments? Are they just like, if it falls through, I'm next?

Liz (20:55)

What are people saying?

Kelly (20:56)

Yeah.

Kelly (20:58)

Oh, my gosh. They're all so cute, Elizabeth. Like, I'm just gooped over it. You know, I tried to. I used to be on this Poshmark grind. Poshmark. I'm sorry, I think it's scam. I'm not paying $7 in shipping.

Kelly (21:09)

And I think the prices are too high. This is like 22 shipped. This is a mini Bowden cream applique cotton long Sleeve shirt, size 1011. Never worn, only washed. $22.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (21:20)

Yeah.

Liz (21:21)

Poshmark, you pay for shipping and also they take 20 from the person selling it. So the person who's selling is like trying to list it for even higher so they don't feel like they're being. They're. They're not. Poshmark isn't taking so much from them.

Kelly (21:35)

Yeah.

Liz (21:36)

Like if they're trying to sell it for 15 and Poshmark is going to take $3 and they're like, okay, fine, I'll sell it for 18 so I can get the 15 that I want.

Kelly (21:44)

And I feel like if you. It would also be a great place for you to resell your kiss your kids stuff.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (21:49)

Yeah.

Liz (21:49)

Well, you have active shoppers on whatever brand it is that you're trying to sell.

Kelly (21:54)

Yeah.

Kelly (21:58)

Anyway, what else would I say? Oh, so then I also. This weekend was, like, feeling so productive. I took a page out of the marketplace. Mom, if you're not following her on Instagram, she's an inspiring follow. And I, I put two lots together. I was cleaning out Fred's pajamas. I found four 3T pajamas that don't fit him anymore. I said 3T boy. Pajama lot. Sold.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (22:19)

Sold.

Kelly (22:20)

Quick. Obviously underpriced it. Don't care. It's out of my life.

Morgan Taylor Price (22:23)

Yeah, sort of my life.

Kelly (22:25)

And I Had enough money to buy my hamburger at dartball. Oh, I played dartball this weekend.

Liz (22:33)

And remember I told you.

Kelly (22:36)

Tyler nailed it. Tyler goes. It's a. Tyler goes. It's a fun game. I just don't really like.

Liz (22:40)

Yeah, totally.

Kelly (22:43)

Dart ball. So basically it's darts, but we threw. We throw underhand. It's a big. It's. It's. It's big darts. It's a big board. It's a big dart. It's big darts.

Kelly (22:54)

But the problem is, it's like, if you. If you hit a certain part of the board, you're out. And. But then, like, if you hit other parts of the board, you're not out and you can keep going. And it's like, I want to. I want to throw four darts and take my best one like that. That would be more successful because I just kept getting out on the first try. Our team, we got. We. We did not do very well, which was fine because we wanted to be done with it. But anyway, all to say is, thanks to my boy, little sleepies, pajama lot, I was able to cover my dart ball meal and then some.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (23:27)

Did you pay.

Liz (23:27)

Did you pay for it with the cash that you got from Mark? Yeah, that feels good.

Kelly (23:31)

I stopped at the mailbox on my way to dartball. Had my cash.

Liz (23:37)

Yeah, it feels good.

Kelly (23:38)

And now that's out of my life. And I, you know, kept some money in the bank.

Liz (23:42)

Yeah.

Kelly (23:42)

Anyway, I'm just, like, loving Marketplace. Like, it is just so. And like, what a great. So, like, that's what I'm saying. Like, when you're. Next time you're like, stuck in a basement or like a room with your kids, you're like, what could I be doing? I don't know. Look around and see if there's anything you list up for on Marketplace because that's productive.

Liz (23:57)

Yeah.

Kelly (23:57)

So productive.

Kelly (24:00)

Okay, Liz, I know we have an interview at the end of this episode. So do you want me just to go with industry news? Do you have anything else you want to talk about?

Liz (24:09)

No. I am really excited to get into this interview. So let's get into industry news because I do know that that is pretty juicy.

Kelly (24:16)

Okay, now it's time for industry news where I spell the hot to tea going on. The auto industry and consumer reports had a big old list come out and they unveiled the top 10 best and worst car brands for 2026. Now what does best and worst means? The ratings are based on the averages of new vehicles overall score, which factors in results from road test safety assessments. And reliability and owner satisfaction. Out of the 31 car manufacturers, these are the top 10 best and worst car brands. So it's not by model. It's not. It's not by model. I'll say that. It's just like. It's like. It's like an overall average. You know what I mean?

Liz (24:59)

Yeah.

Kelly (25:00)

Number one for best really surprised me. Do you want to take a guess?

Liz (25:05)

No, I'm looking at it right now.

Kelly (25:07)

Okay. Number one is Subaru. Shocking.

Kelly (25:13)

Not shocking that they're on the list. Shocking that they're number one. Number two is BMW. Also a little shocking, but proud of them.

Liz (25:19)

And actually, BMW and Subaru got the same score.

Kelly (25:24)

Then why are they one and two?

Liz (25:25)

I don't know, but they both got an 82.

Kelly (25:29)

Hmm. Okay, number three is Porsche. Number four is Honda. Number five, Toyota. Number six, Lexus. Number seven is Lincoln. What?

Liz (25:37)

Yeah.

Kelly (25:39)

Number eight, Hyundai. Nine, Acura. Ten is Tesla. So, like, big names that are not on here is outside of Lincoln, there's no American brands. There's no gm. There's no Ford. There's. That's kind of crazy. Kia is nowhere to be found.

Liz (25:54)

Tesla. There is Tesla.

Kelly (25:55)

Oh, Tesla's an American brand.

Morgan Taylor Price (25:57)

You're right.

Kelly (25:57)

Kia was nowhere to be found, which was kind of shocking.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (25:59)

Kia was number 12. But.

Liz (26:04)

I'm so.

Kelly (26:04)

That's not bad. It's just so interesting that Lincoln was 7 and Ford wasn't on it. Okay, now this is the juicy stuff. Let's get to the worst.

Liz (26:12)

Well. Well, can I just say, because I'm looking at, like, they go up to, like, 20. Lincoln was number seven. Ford was number 18. So that's kind of up there.

Kelly (26:24)

Yeah, that is up there. Now for the worst car brands, is. Is. Is the worst number one or is the worst ten?

Liz (26:31)

I don't know.

Kelly (26:33)

It says worst car brands in descending order. What does that mean?

Liz (26:36)

Okay, I'm looking. Tell me what the first one is, and I can. I'm looking at a different report card than you.

Kelly (26:41)

Oh, yeah, you are. Jeep is number one.

Liz (26:43)

Jeep is the worst.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (26:45)

Yeah.

Kelly (26:45)

Okay, so Jeep is the worst, and that tracks. Jeep can't get anything together.

Kelly (26:52)

Like, leave it to Jeep to have a car that people love the wrangler and do anything else but focus on that Wrangler.

Kelly (26:59)

They're moronic.

Liz (27:01)

This the. The worst ones. This is not looking good.

Kelly (27:04)

Number two is Land Rover.

Kelly (27:08)

Yep. Number three, gmc.

Liz (27:10)

Shocking. Yes.

Kelly (27:13)

Jeep and Land Rover. Doesn't surprise me. GMC being three surprises me. Four is Dodge. Doesn't surprise me. Five, Alpha, Romeo, who cares?

Sponsor/Ad Voice (27:20)

Six.

Kelly (27:20)

Rivian. Doesn't surprise me. Seven. Chrysler doesn't surprise me. Eight. Chevrolet. Kind of surprising. Nine. Mercedes Benz shocks me. Yeah, that's was like the most shocking to me to have BMW be number one, slash two, and then Mercedes be nine as the worst. Yeah, 10 is Volkswagen. Doesn't show. I mean, I don't know, whatever.

Liz (27:43)

Yeah.

Liz (27:47)

It'S not good. It's a lot of American.

Kelly (27:51)

It's not good. So.

Liz (27:58)

It'S really interesting to go on to the Consumer Reports Instagram because they like break it down into like a chart format so you can see like we did the top 10 and the worst 10, but then there's like 10.

Kelly (28:07)

In between this list.

Liz (28:09)

I want to see what this is on their Instagram.

Liz (28:12)

It's a much easier way to digest this.

Kelly (28:15)

Yeah, I was on like Yahoo's version of that. That was painful for me.

Liz (28:22)

And then they also, they also ranked the car brands. Car brands ranked by new car reliability.

Kelly (28:29)

Oh, yeah, let's get into that.

Morgan Taylor Price (28:30)

Pull on.

Kelly (28:30)

Can I, can I get there though? Because I'm just like, well, do you.

Liz (28:32)

Want me to do it? Because I've, I've got, I've got it.

Kelly (28:35)

Pulled up and that's fine. You can get there. But I want to follow along.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (28:38)

Okay.

Liz (28:40)

Number one car brands ranked by new car reliability. Number one is Toyota. Number two is Subaru. So Subaru is like up there for everything. Number three is Lexus. Number four is Honda. Number five is BMW. Number six is Nissan, which people love. When I talk about my Pathfinder. People love to act like all Nissan's crap out on them. It's like, I know. Number six, top 10 for new car reliability. Okay. Number seven is Acura. Number eight is Buick. Number nine is Tesla. Number 10 is Kia.

Kelly (29:14)

Shout out Buick. I'm telling you, Buick needs. Buick has momentum and they need to keep moving.

Liz (29:24)

I'm proud, proud of Buick. Oh, 11 is Ford.

Liz (29:30)

And Kia is number 10. That's another one that people love to act like they always, they always crap out. It's like, because you've had one bad experience with it or. My dad said I never drive, never to drive a Kia.

Kelly (29:40)

They're so quick to buy like a Chevy that's linked at 42 versus a key, which is at 49, which, I mean, I'm not saying I like both of those cars, but.

Kelly (29:52)

If like people make me want to throw something at them when they just are like, oh, I'd never buy Ikea. And then it's like, why?

Liz (30:01)

Have you seen their interior?

Kelly (30:03)

Well, it's just like, do you have. Well, like, can you. Can you provide any data, Right. To back up that claim? And if you're like, oh, yeah, no, like, it's number 10 and I only want to drive a car that's number one, I'm like, oh, that's fine. Like, I get it. You're a Toyota person. Like, that's. That's fine. But to be like, oh, I never drive a Kia. Those don't last. And then buy a Chevy. That's a crazy thing to say. If you want to buy a Chevy.

Liz (30:21)

17 on the list.

Kelly (30:24)

Yeah.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (30:24)

Yeah.

Kelly (30:26)

But then it's interesting then. Then Lincoln goes to 20, even though they were number seven on overall. So that. So people just must like Lincoln's cars.

Liz (30:33)

They are good cars.

Kelly (30:34)

And Rivian was the worst at 26, and Jeep was the third worst at 28.

Kelly (30:41)

Jeep socks.

Liz (30:43)

Anyway, quite interesting. Okay, so we have an interview. We're continuing this series of homemaking, budgeting, making things from home. Just like all things. Like, how can we stretch the budget, get creative. This is a great interview. In our motherhood, in our homemaking, in our cooking, all the things. So we have Morgan Taylor Price Morgan Taylor at home on Instagram. She is a mom of almost four. She literally could be having her baby right now. Like, she's past her due date. And she made time to come on our podcast. Out of breath. Yes. But she did make the time nonetheless. And it's. It's a great interview. A lot. A lot of tangible takeaways. They are single, income, making it work. She is with her kids. She is.

Liz (31:37)

Frugal, talks about the changes that they made to cut back their grocery bills and what they're doing.

Kelly (31:45)

She.

Liz (31:45)

She tells us a lot on the Instagram, on the podcast, but she also has a lot of great tips on her Instagram as well.

Kelly (31:50)

So she's like one of my new. For sure. One of my new favorite followers. She inspired. I finally. I know what I'm asking for for Christmas after this episode, because I decided what she said is what I'm gonna ask for.

Liz (32:00)

Oh, yeah, me too. Literally. After the episode, Kelly, I think we both texted mom, like, an idea for Christmas, because Mom texted me. She goes, what do you want for your birthday? And I told her, and she was. Kelly said the same thing.

Kelly (32:13)

Okay. I swear, though, mom, if you're listening and you don't just get me and Elizabeth the same one. Because if she tries to do this thing where she gives us a slightly.

Liz (32:20)

Different, slightly better model, but yeah, she gets the same.

Kelly (32:27)

It is a great interview. Thank you guys for tuning into the carpool podcast. We will talk to you on Friday.

Liz (32:33)

Welcome, Morgan.

Kelly (32:33)

Let's get into our interview with Morgan Price. Morgan, welcome to the carpool podcast.

Morgan Taylor Price (32:37)

Hi. Thanks so much for having me.

Liz (32:40)

We're so excited to have you. And we're so excited to have you specifically for this series of homemaking, stretching our budget at the grocery store and all things like motherhood. You are a mom of almost four.

Morgan Taylor Price (32:57)

Yes. You're.

Liz (32:58)

By the time this podcast comes out, you could have a baby.

Morgan Taylor Price (33:01)

Yes. It was just so crazy.

Liz (33:03)

Which is so crazy.

Kelly (33:05)

So crazy. And you're a stay at home mom.

Morgan Taylor Price (33:08)

Yep. I stay home with my three kids. Almost four kids. Yep.

Liz (33:12)

And your content creator.

Morgan Taylor Price (33:14)

Yeah, that just somehow like slipped in there a while back and that's just been part of my life.

Kelly (33:18)

It always does. It always. To the good ones. It always does. I think your content's great.

Kelly (33:26)

I. There's so many things I want to talk to you about. I want you though, to sell me on needing a smoker because I saw when you smoked all that pork and this is what I'm telling my husband. I need a smoker.

Morgan Taylor Price (33:39)

We do love it. I did grow up with a dad who like is obsessed with barbecue and now owns a barbecue restaurant. And so it was like a very much a part of my life growing up. But we do love it. We don't use it like all the time, I would say, but we're very glad that we do. Like at Thanksgiving, my mother in law just decided last minute that she didn't have enough oven space for turkey. So we like smoked the turkey just because we had. And it was fun. Yeah, totally.

Liz (34:03)

I've never considered a smoker, but I.

Kelly (34:07)

Feel like it's one of those things. You don't need to use it all the time to make it worth it because you're batching it. So one of my favorite, like, I guess new series that you have on your page right now, and I feel like it's kind of your hottest take is you don't like freezer meals. You think freezer meals. I think your direct quote was disgusting.

Morgan Taylor Price (34:23)

I feel like they're always like mushy and then like so they lack texture and then like flavor. I don't know. I feel like with my first baby I like had like this whole menu of freezing meals and I'm like, okay, I'm going to make all these before she comes. And then she came and we ate like one of each like kind and we were like, that wasn't very good. That wasn't very good. We'd rather just make our own dinner. And so I think it's not worth the time or the energy to make them all ahead of time.

Kelly (34:43)

But you think it's worth prepping the proteins or making the proteins in both.

Morgan Taylor Price (34:47)

So I like to prep, like, the meat ahead of time. So like that really, you saw I prepped a whole bunch of sweet pork in the crock pot and pulled pork on the smoker, and then I took it all and I put it into like family size portions, like what our family would eat in a meal. So I'm not like freezing like 5 pounds of pork at a time. Like, it's like a pound of pork. And then I vacuum seal it and put it in my freezer. And so then we can pull that pork out and we can make sandwiches, we can make nachos, we can make tacos, we can make enchiladas. Like, you can make so many different things with that meat, and it's just, it's already cooked. And so then like, the hard part is kind of done for you. Kind of like how you've talked about prepping like, ground beef before and like taco meat. It's the same thing. Like, the other day I went to Costco and bought four rotisserie chickens, and then I came home and chopped them all up, froze them, and then that I can just pull out and use for so many different things because chicken goes in a million things and it just like takes a big step out of cooking things. So then it's just easy just to throw things together later.

Kelly (35:36)

Well, then it's like you're like combining versus cooking. Like, then you're just combining things and I mean, you're saving on the dishes and it's gotta be more cost effective because then you can hit things on the sales or buy bigger portions of them and then make them into smaller portions. I think that's really smart.

Liz (35:52)

Yeah. Okay. You said something that kind of is making me question a lot about my life. You said you vacuum seal. Am I supposed to be vacuum vacuum sealing before I freeze meat?

Morgan Taylor Price (36:03)

Yeah, it lasts so much longer. Like, I went through and like deep clean my freezer before I started this, and I found me that's like two or three years old. That's like, has no freezer burnt. Like, it's totally fine. Like, I could totally use it. It's still.

Morgan Taylor Price (36:16)

Meat that I'm like, oh, we'll get to it really soon. I'll put it in like a freezer. Zip top bag, like, that stuff all had freezer burn and I had to toss it.

Kelly (36:23)

Well, and I. That was on my list to talk to you because I. I prepped all that protein. I put it in a gallon bag that technically said freezer on it. And I can tell you it's a little freezer burn.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (36:34)

Now.

Kelly (36:34)

We're going to tough it out at the Stumpy household. But yeah, I'm not thrilled with it and I think that that's a really good. Like, I actually might ask mom Liz for a vacuum sealer for Christmas. I think it's one of those, like.

Liz (36:48)

That's a good one. Yeah.

Kelly (36:50)

And I love thinking about gifts. One time we had Debt Free mom on and she did a whole series on, like, things you can ask for for Christmas that will save you money. And I was like, oh, that's just like a good concept. And I think a vacuum sealer is like a perfect. It's like the epitome of that. Right. It's like, it's a little bit of an investment, but. Wow. Is it easy to use and operate? Like, it's like a laminator, right?

Morgan Taylor Price (37:11)

Yeah. Yeah. You just like put the end in and like push the button and like sucks all the air out and then seals it and then toss it in your freezer.

Kelly (37:17)

Okay.

Liz (37:18)

And I imagine it also probably saves a little bit of room too. Yeah.

Morgan Taylor Price (37:21)

So when I vacuum seal things, like, I vacuum seal them flat so then they can like stack so it's not like a big chunk of meat. Like, it's flat. And since it's like totally sealed, instead of a bag, like, I can throw it in the sink of, like, water and it's not going to, like, leak into the bag. Whereas, like a zip top bag, like, I'm not going to do that because I'm scared that water is going to get in. Right. So it thaws out so much faster because it's flatter and it's just like totally watertight.

Liz (37:42)

Okay. That's. If.

Kelly (37:44)

If.

Liz (37:45)

If we get no other tangible takeaways from this podcast. Yeah, that is. I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot. I didn't, I didn't know about this. So that's.

Kelly (37:53)

We're learning.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (37:53)

We're learning.

Liz (37:54)

And I'm not, I'm not afraid to admit. That's why. That's why Morgan's here.

Kelly (37:58)

Yeah.

Liz (37:59)

Morgan is here to. To spread awareness.

Kelly (38:03)

Morgan, take us back a little bit. So you're a stay at home mom to three. You started creating content, kind of tell us about the driving Factor to creating the content and also, I guess, just, like, wanting to save more money, especially when it comes to, like, the grocery bill.

Morgan Taylor Price (38:15)

Yeah. So way back, like, before we had kids, I have a degree in photography, and I was like, a wedding photographer and, like, a portrait family photographer and loved that. And that was like, mostly in, like, the summers, I felt like. So in the winter and during the off season, I would substitute teach school because it was, like, super flexible. I could do it however much or as little as I wanted to. And it was great when we were first married, and then I had my first daughter five and a half, almost six years ago. And I, like, I really wanted to stay home. Like, that was my goal. And so I stopped substitute teaching. I still did a little bit of photography just because I kind of could. But we, like, without that income, we realized that, like, okay, things are getting a little bit tighter. My husband works in agriculture, and, like, there's just not a whole lot of money in that. And so things were tight. Like, he could support us fully, but things are just tight. And if we ever wanted to, like, buy a new car or buy a house or anything like that, like, we just needed to be able to save more. And so we went through all of our bills. And I'm like, a pretty, like, frugal, simple person as it is. So, like, there wasn't a lot of just, like, frivolous spending that we were doing to cut. And I felt like all of our bills were pretty, like, set in stone. Like, you really couldn't change, like, your power bill a whole lot and stuff like that. But I felt like groceries is where we could. We could cut. At that point, we were spending, like, $600 a month for just the two of us. And I thought that was, like, pretty decent. But then I, like, started to, like, actually, like, focus in on things. I'm like, oh, we can cut this a lot more. So I started, like, meal planning for a week or two at a time and grocery shopping for all that at once. So I felt like the less often that I was in the grocery store, like, we just saved so much just by not going very often. And so I would do that. And then I slowly started building up our freezer supply of just, like, backup food. So I would stock up on meat when it was on sale. So, like, that pork that I showed in that reel was all, like, pork cushion that was just on sale at the store. So I bought, like, three big packs of it and just smoked it all. So I just, like, started stocking up on Me. And then that turned into. I would only meal plan with the meat that we had in our freezer. So every meal that we were eating, like we were instantly saving money because that meat I had bought on sale at some point.

Kelly (40:12)

Yeah.

Morgan Taylor Price (40:13)

And then I'd also start stocking up on like just like shelf stable stuff. Like I always have pasta, I always have pasta sauce and like that sort of stuff. And I just try to only buy it on sale and just buy a lot of it. And we now are a family of five, almost six. And now we're, we're spending about $600 a month and that's seven years later. That's so like, I feel like just the little things, they just kind of add up and you're able to save a lot.

Kelly (40:37)

So first of all, like, I can't like you being out of breath is just. I feel for you so much.

Morgan Taylor Price (40:41)

I know, I know this belly. I feel like I'm like, everyone's like, how are you doing? I'm like, I feel fight. I just feel big and uncomfortable.

Liz (40:48)

Yeah.

Morgan Taylor Price (40:48)

But totally, I don't. Yeah.

Kelly (40:50)

I think that's a good process though, to kind of start with the meat, be strategic about what you're buying, how you're storing it and to your point, like, the better you get at cooking it and freezing it, the more variety you'll end up having in your life. Which I think will make it an easier plan to stick to. Like, I think it can be tough, like, you know, if you only are finding one type of thing on sale or if you're only if you're buying it. If you're buying the meat that's on sale that week and then also trying to cook with it, it's so much of the same. So I love that, I love that like buy it on sale, stick it in the freezer and then that's what you're pulling from because then that gets way more cost effective because then that's such a. Then you're buying the lower cost items like the canned goods like some of the grains and turning it into. Yeah.

Morgan Taylor Price (41:33)

I feel like the meat is like the most expensive part of your meal. Right. And so like if you can save money on the meat every time, like that's going to add up so fast.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (41:41)

I love also just like allows you.

Liz (41:43)

To be so creative. Like I have really been trying to use more of what's in my like fridge or pantry before going out to buy something.

Morgan Taylor Price (41:51)

Yeah.

Liz (41:51)

And, and of course through ChatGPT with the help, I've been so Much more creative in, like, coming up with new things and just, like, new ways to make things and new recipes, and it's. It's actually a lot more fun, and it's more of a challenge, and it kind of uses your brain a little bit more than just making the same thing over and over again.

Kelly (42:10)

Totally.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (42:11)

Totally.

Kelly (42:11)

Well, and kind of like a theme we've been talking about lately is, and I would love to, like, hear your take on in your experience with this is I do kind of feel like our generation doesn't really know how to cook very well. I think we can follow a recipe. I think so much of the food we're buying are these, like, quick, easy, like, already cooked things that when you go back to the basics, I think we're. I think we're feeling like this task of cooking from scratch is so overwhelming because we weren't really taught how to cook from scratch. You know what I mean?

Morgan Taylor Price (42:39)

Yeah, it's definitely like, a skill set that, like, you have to build that. Like, our grandma's just, like, that's just what they did. And, like, they. Yeah, if they saw, like, what we were cooking and what we were buying today for food, they'd be shocked.

Liz (42:49)

Yeah.

Kelly (42:50)

And exactly. So what are some of your, like, favorite or best things that you stopped buying at the store and you started making from scratch?

Morgan Taylor Price (42:59)

Well, my husband eats yogurt and granola every single morning. Like, he's a man of habit, and he loves it. And one time I, like, ran out of granola, and I was like, oh, well, granola's pretty simple, right? It's just, like, oats and, like, whatever. So I, like, made it, and then he ate it. And then I went and bought the store bought granola next time. And he was like, wait, I really liked that other granola. And I'm like, oh, well, it's probably about half the price to make it. So I've been making granola for years, and it's so easy. And a couple years ago on 4th of July, I volunteered to make potato salad because I'm like, I feel like my potato salad is the best potato salad. Like, everybody does, right? I was like, I'm going to sell it for fourth of July. And then it got to be that morning, and we had no mayonnaise. And I was like, okay, well, we live 30 minutes from the store, so that's not really an option. And so I was like, I'm pretty sure mayonnaise is easy to make. So I started making mayonnaise, like, from scratch, which is so Easy. And I've made it ever since. So it's been like over two years.

Kelly (43:48)

Okay.

Morgan Taylor Price (43:48)

I'm just like, whipping up mayonnaise just because. And it saves pantry space because I feel like I was always stocking up at Costco with like, the big jugs of. And it was like, they're huge and they take up so much space. And I'm like, now I don't do that because I can just whip up a jar whenever we need it.

Liz (44:02)

How long does it take to make?

Morgan Taylor Price (44:03)

Oh, like two minutes.

Liz (44:05)

I love mayonnaise.

Morgan Taylor Price (44:07)

Yeah.

Kelly (44:07)

I have made homemade. I've made homemade mail before. It's pretty easy.

Morgan Taylor Price (44:10)

It's crazy.

Kelly (44:11)

It's just like an egg and olive oil in an immersion blender and you're basically there.

Morgan Taylor Price (44:14)

Yeah.

Liz (44:15)

That's so crazy. And, like, think about all the ingredients that are in the mayonnaise at the store. Like, I haven't looked, but I'm assuming it's a lot.

Morgan Taylor Price (44:21)

Ye. You can like garlic in or like other things if you want to make, like, oh, garlic aioli. Yeah.

Liz (44:26)

Yeah. Now it's an aioli.

Morgan Taylor Price (44:28)

And now we're making aioli from scratch. Easy.

Kelly (44:31)

I love that. I'm getting hungry.

Liz (44:36)

I know.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (44:37)

Me too.

Liz (44:38)

Okay, so I want to talk about your Instagram. Okay, so you have 93,000 Instagram followers. Congrats. It's incredible. Like, you are a full blown content creator, single income family, making it work. And you have affordable meal plans for moms. Because I think some people might be listening to this. I mean, like, okay, congratulations, you were able to figure out meal plans and cut your grocery bill. That sounds really intimidating to me. So if someone wanted to fill out your weekly meal plan on your Instagram, what can they expect to get from that?

Morgan Taylor Price (45:08)

So that meal plan is actually a meal plan, like, subscription. So I have a lot of moms that are like, I would love to, like, make more meals during the week, but, like, I just don't want the mental load of having to figure out what to make. And so I, like, have gone through and, like, I think there's like 60 something recipes. I'm always adding more of. Just like, easy, family friendly recipes. They're all 10 ingredients or less. And every week it's a subscription. It's like less than $10 a month. They get 10 recipes a week to choose from. So, like, if you don't like soup, then don't make the soup. Like, I'm not just gonna give you five recipes because that, like, every family has preferences. And so. And then you just pick what you want. And then it has like a pre shopped Walmart list that you just click and it has all the Walmart ingredients that you need and you just like add them to cart and check out out. And so then it takes away like the planning and the shopping and you just like don't think about it at all. Because I feel like that's where a lot of people get hung up on meal planning, is that they just don't know what to make and they don't want to have to think about it. And it's just the mental load that us moms, like, we carry so much mentally. That's just one more thing that we don't want to think about. So it just takes that away.

Liz (46:04)

Okay. I love that I just filled out your email.

Kelly (46:10)

I totally agree. I hate meal planning.

Morgan Taylor Price (46:13)

Yeah, it's not the best.

Kelly (46:14)

It's just like that. It's like that trope when it's like you get to the store to buy something, you're like, I cannot remember anything that I've made for dinner literally ever, ever.

Liz (46:22)

Yeah, I know, I know.

Kelly (46:24)

Well, I feel like that could be a good segue to our segment, which is Ditch the drive through where we give the audience an easy dinner recipe to mix it up to get it to get them out of their dinner rut. Can you give us a little sneak peek of what we could expect on the email list or just like your go to Ditch the drive thru. I feel like it's going to be good.

Morgan Taylor Price (46:40)

Yeah. So one of our family's favorite things. So like, we love like burgers, right? But sometimes like you just get sick of like a traditional like hamburger. We love to do burger bowls, but not like the ground, not like the sweet potato one that you see everywhere. Like we do like you put french fries in the bottom or tater tots or whatever your family likes, and then season ground beef and then cheese and then lettuce and pickles and like all your toppings. You could go all out and do like sauteed onions and bacon and then like a really good burger sauce on top. And like my kids love it because you just serve it like buffet style. So they can put whatever they want. They could eat it on a plate all separate if they want Want you throw it all together like it's like it's whatever.

Kelly (47:13)

Let's go back for a second. You said the base is french fries or tater tots. See, that's where I, that's where I'm already interested because sometimes it's too Much of, like, a lettuce base. And I'm not. That's not really.

Morgan Taylor Price (47:23)

It's not a salad.

Kelly (47:24)

That's not really cutting it for me most days. So I like the idea of a starchy potato base. And so it's basically, like, loaded fries.

Morgan Taylor Price (47:30)

Yeah, essentially. Yeah. And then your kids can just eat whatever they want. Like, all my kids love it. Like, I have my oldest daughter. Like, she loves just, like, plain hamburger, which is, like, so bizarre to me sometimes, because she doesn't want sauce on it or anything. She just wants plain seasoned ground beef. And I'm like, perfect. You can eat whatever you want. You can eat the ground beef, and then she'll eat, like, the tomatoes and the cheese and, like, the other stuff on the side. But, like, it's so nice, and, like, my husband loves it. It's, like, bulky and it's, like, hearty because you have all those, like, potatoes and whatever you want at the base and as much meat as you want. And, yeah, you serve it buffet style, and everybody gets what they want, and it's great. And you can, like. That's another thing that you can batch cook is that ground beef. Like, you can have a ton of that in your freezer, warm it up real quick, throw some tater tots in the air fryer, and, like, dinner's done.

Kelly (48:13)

And dinner's done.

Morgan Taylor Price (48:14)

Yeah.

Liz (48:14)

I make this a lot when I. Because I always have ground beef, but I don't always have tater tots or french fries. But I. So if I, like, need to get rid of potatoes, I just cut up potatoes into little square. Into little cubes, and that's my base. But the. The. The potato over the sweet potato base is such a game changer.

Morgan Taylor Price (48:30)

Yeah. I'm not a huge sweet potato person. I, like, love me some good, crunchy french fries or tater tots.

Liz (48:36)

Me too. Me too. In the right context, I like a sweet potato, but I'll take a fry over a sweet potato fry personally.

Morgan Taylor Price (48:41)

And then you like a good sauce for sure.

Liz (48:43)

Yeah.

Morgan Taylor Price (48:43)

Not just, like, ketchup, mustard. You need, like, a good sauce.

Liz (48:46)

So are you making your fry sauce, or are you buying it?

Morgan Taylor Price (48:48)

I'm usually making it just, like, mayo, ketchup, a little bit of mustard, dill pickle juice, some, like, paprika. And then if you're not Kelly, we're Chester Shire sauce.

Liz (48:57)

Totally.

Morgan Taylor Price (48:58)

And then. I know. I'm so sorry. Or like, a good, like, barbecue one with, like, just mayo and barbecue sauce mixed together is super yummy, too. That's, like, our favorite Dipping sauce for fries.

Kelly (49:08)

I also feel like you could swap that. You could do that with pork, you could do that with chicken. I mean, it's. Yeah, it's kind of off.

Morgan Taylor Price (49:13)

Explain for the bowl, you just put whatever you want in it.

Kelly (49:17)

Yeah, that's. That's what I'm talking about when I'm saying, like, if you have the meat prepped, like, that's dinner on the table. As long as it takes the tots to air fry.

Morgan Taylor Price (49:24)

Yes, exactly. And then you chop everything while those are cooking, and then you're good to go.

Kelly (49:29)

And you're gonna make that.

Liz (49:30)

That's still homemade because you made the mayo. You made the ground beef like, you may like. Okay, so you air fried the tater tots. Like everything else is homemade. Makes you. Nothing makes you feel better than or like, more ba. Than, like, having a home cooked meal.

Kelly (49:44)

They're like, totally.

Liz (49:45)

This was all freshly.

Sponsor/Ad Voice (49:47)
