Pilar, Valerie and Lizzy chat about why our first season dropped off suddenly without explanation, summer plans, baseball, TLC reality shows, Valerie’s Irish twins, Pilar’s new hobby, favorite cocktails and Pilar gets a quick rundown about blue laws in the South. (Excuse Lizzy’s voice and some coughing. pneumonia recovery sucks.)

Talk to you all in September when Season 2 Launches.
