If you’re raising little gen Alphas, you won’t want to miss this star-studded episode with Suzie from Busy Toddler — the chef of toddler activities. 

→ You can find the Busy Toddler home preschool program with a full year of lesson plans for just $40 — far less than the cost of preschool for a year — here. 

Expand your vocabulary with today’s millennial abbreviation of the day, TFW. This Gen Z slang means ‘that feeling when.’ 

Kelly and Lizz dive into Suzie’s journey from Daniel Tiger marathons to simple, low-cost activities her toddler could do on his own while she sipped her coffee. Suzie shares her hindsight parenting wisdom and a ‘take a breath and say yes moment’ that has the gals asking, “Will Busy Toddler’s next frontier be sleeping boxes for kids?” The gals reminisce about the good old days of chronological social media feeds and their Tik Tok aversions. 

→ REVIEW SHOUTOUT: Hey, Yukon drivers! whether your doors work or don’t work (like Suzie’s) Kelly and Lizz would love to hear from you. Sound off in the Apple Podcasts reviews and remember to share about your ride when you do!

The great eight of Busy Toddler brings a shocking winner that Lizz just doesn’t get — yet. Featured in today’s segment are popsicle baths, painting toys, washing toys, the cutting bin, color baths, toy parades, toy rescue, and the baking soda bin (aka stinky bubbles).

Suzie’s last three transactions brings the super cute Boden swimsuits into Kelly and Lizz’s world and includes an upgrade to her camera equipment as well as a dad joke book for her kids to celebrate their dad on father’s day. 

Industry news inspires questions about Toyota’s plan for the Grand Highlander to take over more of the Toyota market. But Kelly wonders if this is a ‘17 varieties of Hidden Valley Ranch’ situation. Also in headlines this week is the world’s best selling car from Q1…and its boring runner up.

Suzie shares the meal her family still makes to this day — the iconic steak and spaghetti — for today’s ditch the drive through dinner.
