You're listening to the Girl Next Door podcast. I'm Erica. And I'm Kelsey. We're two former next door

neighbors and good friends who love a good chat and a good cocktail. We're inviting you to come

on in, have a drink, and stay a while. Hey, friend. Hey friend. So we officially have all our kiddos

back to school. Yours were still there for the summer.

But now the new pre-K year begins for Dash. It's official. Did Cedric move into a new classroom in

the fall or is his more age? No, his is more age dependent. But he was getting confused. We were,

you know, talking with Dash a lot. and he was like, I go to preschool.

And we were like, not yet. It's fine. You're at the same school. Don't be too disappointed.

Yeah, so Julia started pre-K and she's in with Dash. And Vanessa started kindergarten this fall.

So we are big kids, you know, big kids school parents now.

Yeah.

So we thought it might be fun to just talk about all things back to school.

Yep.

But first, a cocktail.

I am, I'm calling this the phone it in.

I like it.

Because that's kind of what I did to make it, although I think it turned out pretty well.

So it was inspired by finding at Trader Joe's.

I was kind of looking for some inspiration.

And I came across, they have a new sparkling seltzer that's alcoholic. So a hard sparkling

salter. Yes. And this one is a pomegranate flavor. I mean, that's inspiring. I know. I mean,

what much, you don't need much more. Right. Than that. Right. Like throw a lime in and you're good to go.
