We begin this week's episode with a little Built Puff bar drama. Kelly is obsessed and now Lizz is jumping on the bandwagon and taking one too many bars from the Stumpe stash. Could this cause a major riff between the sisters? 

Kelly spent some time this week doing a little Facebook snooping and realizing that parenting is the great equalizer. The cool kids in high school are also changing diapers and going to Disney on Ice and it feels so satisfying to see. Meanwhile, Lizz is getting ready to finally feel settled by the end of 2025.

In the end, Lizz says it will be all worth it.    It's time to check in with Last Three Transactions.
