Finals week has officially hit, tensions are high, and the holidays are in full swing. This week, the sisters cover it all—from stressed-out kids and moody households to the eternal debate over real vs. fake Christmas trees (Lynne has very strong feelings and zero regrets).

Kathy shares the story behind her family’s legendary peanut brittle (yes, it’s better than See’s), Nancy admits her black-thumb struggles while marveling at Kathy’s green one, and we break down the hits and total misses of Elf on the Shelf.

We’re also joined by Danielle Frank, author of A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting, for a smart, funny conversation about managing wine, parenting chaos, and expectations during the busiest season of the year.

Plus: what’s for dinner (Nancy’s MacGyver Chicken Taco Burritos), a birthday jingle for Lynne’s final year in her 50s, and the kind of real-life holiday talk every parent needs right now.

It’s Holiday Traditions week, and the sisters are diving straight into the good stuff: their all-time favorite Christmas movies, the classics they revisit every year, and the ones they could happily never watch again. They’re ranking their top holiday songs — from cozy nostalgia to the universally hated tracks they’d ban from every playlist.

You’ll also hear about family traditions that still matter, from the annual Christmas train setup to the mysteries of the Elf on the Shelf. Plus: the Netflix holiday movie you should watch, and the one you can skip without a shred of guilt.

And of course, What’s For Dinner makes an appearance to round things out for Lynne's special Get Well Chicken Soup

This week, the sisters catch up on Thanksgiving chaos — flat tires on the 5, tailgating at the Bears/Eagles game, Kathy refusing oysters, and a quick preview of the Big Ten Championship as Indiana faces the Ohio State. There’s even a quick holiday detour into honeycomb “coal” candy.

Then it’s Part Two with nurse practioner and skincare specialist Kim Engelhardt, who breaks down what actually matters for aging skin. Kim cuts through TikTok noise and focuses on the three essentials every woman should be using: vitamin C, sunscreen, and retinol. She digs into PRF vampire facials, collagen stimulation, IPL, microneedling, Botox, filler risks, dermaplaning (home vs in-office), and how to layer serums without losing your mind.

If you want real, no-nonsense skincare guidance from someone who treats women every day, this episode is your roadmap.
