It’s MDW and mother/daughter duo, Tori and Karen DeSimone, are sharing the tips on being the hostest with the mostest! But only after an hour of catching up (as if they haven’t been living together!). The duo chats about the passing of Ringo, the beloved family dog, who they miss so much. Tori explores new hobbies as Stride is in full swing down at the Jersey Shore. Of course this episode is loaded with book recs from Karen, questions for your mom, setting boundaries with family members, the easiest spicy margarita recipe for the holiday weekend, and the story of Flat Ross (legend). This is a jam packed episode. Enjoy!
