Today’s episode talks about leveraging loyalty program partnerships to save you money. I primarily address that in the Laura Lesson at the start of the show and of course, also talk about my pondering purchases, products I’m trying, loving, and end it with consumer news that is relevant to you, a mom. Make sure to pass the episode along to a friend! 🙂
