    Jill is away this week as she’s with her daughter Riley, who (last they heard!) is in labor! The moms are patiently waiting for updates… but of course, they have questions: What’s the baby’s name? And what in the world will Jill choose to be called (because it definitely won’t be “grandma”)?

    Plus, Melissa and Kelly react to the video of Abby Lee Miller losing her headpiece on a roller coaster—their comments might surprise you!

  • Wait… Can We Do Brooke’s Wedding Again?
    Mar 20 2026

    Daylight savings has the moms completely thrown off this week! Jill, Melissa, and Kelly talk about how moving the clocks ahead is messing with everything before diving into all the memories from Brooke’s wedding.


    Kelly sets the record straight on who was the most served that night, and the moms admit that they wish they could do the whole wedding over again because it went by too fast. Kelly especially feels like she barely had time to talk to everyone.


    Meanwhile, baby watch is officially on as Riley’s due date is just weeks away. Jill shares that she will be at the hospital when the baby arrives and the moms get nostalgic talking about how becoming mothers completely changed the way they see their own moms. They also laugh about just how crazy they were as first-time moms.

  • Baby Watch: Will Jill Have to Escape Florida?
    Mar 13 2026

    The moms are officially on baby watch! Jill is balancing wedding plans in Florida while keeping a close eye on Riley’s fast-approaching due date—but will she have to leave early if the baby decides to come sooner than expected? Could this new grandbaby mean Jill might move … and would she actually consider selling her house?

    Meanwhile, Kelly shares that she may also be thinking about a move, possibly selling her Florida place to be closer to her girls.


    Melissa catches the moms up on her recent vacation, but it’s not all relaxation—she’s dealing with ongoing HOA drama after both her dog and a neighbor’s dog were attacked in their neighborhood. Now Melissa admits she’s become a full-on helicopter dog mom to her newest pup.


    Plus, with the mall not being as convenient anymore, Jill is trying to embrace online shopping. The moms break down what they love (and hate) about e-commerce.
