Summary

Kelly and Melissa are holding it down this week while Jill is fully in “Cookie” mode, soaking up every second with her new grandbaby. In her absence, the moms dive into a topic they know all too well—what happens when your kids are chasing the same dream in the same field. How did they navigate competition and comparisons and keep things supportive at home. Meanwhile, it’s a little chaos and a lot of laughs as Kelly gears up for her upcoming birthday plans, and Melissa deals with a much more immediate situation…a puppy who’s chewing everything in sight, including her headphones. Let’s just say the house is officially going into full puppy-proof mode. Have a question for the moms?
