Dear Dance Mom...

Jill, Melissa, and Kelly are catching up on everything from tattoo touch-ups to unexpected online shopping surprises! Kelly reveals her tattoo makeup, but some things never change, and no matter how much time passes, their Dance Mom instincts always seem to come out.

Jill shares how much she's loving grandma life and how wild it is when your babies start having babies. The ladies also take a trip down memory lane, remembering what competition season was like before the cameras started rolling. Plus, are you really supposed to replace your mattress every 10 years? They discuss the joys of shopping in person and why there's still nothing like seeing a product's quality for yourself. Of course, online shopping has its perks, too... unless you're Kelly, who apparently has packages showing up that she doesn't even remember ordering!

Technology may come naturally to the younger generation, but keeping up with an increasingly digital world isn’t always so easy! Jill, Melissa, and Kelly talk about the tech struggles that can come with getting older, why their kids seem to navigate it all effortlessly, and how even they sometimes need a little extra help. Kelly shares that Brooke has officially changed her name after getting married, and the process was easier for her than it is for most.

Plus, Kelly is stepping outside her comfort zone with tattoo makeup, Melissa is trying a new hormone panel company after getting her bloodwork done, and Jill hints that Erno might be finding himself back in the doghouse after a recent comment! The moms also discuss the importance of thinking before you speak, Melissa’s upcoming whirlwind of travel to LA, New York, and Chicago, and more.

Kelly is recapping Brooke’s church wedding, and let’s just say, once a Dance Mom, ALWAYS a Dance Mom! From the wedding cake she made as a gift turning out beautifully to coming to the rescue with a glue gun, Kelly was ready to save the day. Jill is also in full-on grandma mode, putting together a crib all by herself and creating a nursery for baby Chance (with a little Pottery Barn splurge, of course!). Plus, the moms weigh in on Brooke’s new haircut, which Jill thinks looks so classy.

Jill also shares an expensive travel lesson after losing more than $1,500 booking international flights through Hopper, and why she’ll always book directly with the airline from now on. Melissa recaps her latest trip to NYC, including seeing & Juliet twice more with Kenzie, a fun outing with friends, shopping around the city, and an incredible meal complete with a live violinist!

The moms also share their thoughts on the Kelly Clarkson store treatment and answer a listener’s question about buying her first home. What are the must-haves and what did their own kids actually need when they moved out?

Jill, Kelly, and Melissa are wondering what happened to the world as they knew it. From how much harder it is for this generation to buy a home to phones that seem to read your mind, the moms reflect on how much life has changed and what the future might look like for their grandkids. Will there be flying cars? And how is the time flying by so fast?!

Plus, the moms admit their dogs are basically running their households, Kelly shares why she’s putting in the time to make Brooke’s wedding cake from scratch (edible flowers and all!), and they offer heartfelt advice to a young listener navigating adulthood and a long-distance relationship. A lot of laughs, and some life lessons from three moms who are still figuring it all out, too.

Jill, Melissa and Kelly cover a little bit of everything in this episode! Jill is going blonder and looking for recommendations on how to take better care of her hair, while her Steelers attire sparks a conversation about how football can set the mood in the entire house. They may not care if the Steelers win, but they definitely want them to play well.
The moms also look back at some of the things that happened on Dance Moms that simply wouldn’t fly today, including things Abby said that they believe can stick with kids for the rest of their lives. A random round of “Thuffering Thucatash” sends them on one of many hilarious detours.
Melissa has one very specific request for the future of technology: the Jetsons-style machine that instantly does your hair and makeup. Meanwhile, Jill shares all about her recent trip to Scottsdale and how impressed she is with Kalani’s new studio and her dancers.

The conversation takes another turn when a listener from Ukraine shares her perspective on Chernobyl and series Jill watched about the disaster. That leads to a conversation about their favorite shows based on real-life events—and, naturally, a few more detours along the way!
