Katie and Mandy dive headfirst into “Maycember,” the end-of-school-year chaos packed with concerts, spirit weeks, and one-too-many sign-ups, asking the real question: are moms actually okay? They play a hilarious round of “Love It or Leave It,” debating everything from teacher group gifts to kindergarten graduations and over-the-top final day photos. The conversation shifts to beauty must-haves, where they break down what’s worth the splurge versus a drugstore steal. They wrap with a follow-up to apology languages - and try to figure out which ones their husbands are (or aren’t) speaking.
