Summary
Age doesn’t matter but it’s a big deal that this week GTJBI welcomes its youngest guest ever...because she’s 7-years-old. Harlow Wiles is in second grade and on the weekends you can find her in the kitchen baking everything from pumpkin bread to cupcakes. But her specialty is pancakes—she charges $1 for one pancake and $5 for two; we love a businesswoman—so she stopped by the studio with her Insta-famous Mom, Ilana (@MommyShorts) to give us some pancake tips and dish on her favorite tv show as of right now, The Property Brothers. And she does NOT know what their actual names are, so do NOT ask, okay?

Harlow’s mom, Ilana, is the best “mommy blogger” I follow, despite my not having kids, and I have been following a lot of MBs for a long time. She has a lot of good intel on how #sponcon works and how she turned a job layoff into a living 10 years ago. She also brought her recommendation for dry shampoo, and it was one I had never even thought about before.
