Dear Dance Mom...

This week, Melissa, Jill, and Kelly are in Easter mode. Jill is counting down the minutes until she’s back with her new grandson, sharing how just one week away feels like years… and how much he’s already changed in that short time. Of course, Grandma Cookie is fully prepared with the cutest Easter basket for her little guy. Meanwhile, Kelly is celebrating her own exciting new title—AUNT!

The moms also get into those “it’s a small world” moments, realizing they somehow meet people from Pittsburgh no matter where they go. But things take a crazy turn when they discover they’re only a few degrees away from a recent true crime story.

And with so many big life changes happening—especially with their kids constantly on the move (and Kendall up next!)—Melissa, Jill, and Kelly share their tried-and-true tips for making moving a little less chaotic.

Melissa, Jill, and Kelly are back—and this time, it’s all about a brand new (and very adorable) addition to the family! 💙 Jill officially enters her grandma era as “Cookie” with the arrival of her grandson, Baby Chance!

Jill shares the full birth story, from the chaos leading up to the big moment to finally meeting the baby. Meanwhile, Melissa and Kelly were on total baby watch, sitting on pins and needles waiting for updates—while tornado warnings added even more drama to an already intense day!

Now that Baby Chance is here, Jill is soaking up every second of being Cookie… even if that includes a few surprises—like getting peed on during a diaper change!

Melissa and Kelly are waiting by the phone for baby news! In the meantime, they are joined by special guest Steve Zahn, who chats all about his heartfelt new film She Dances, a tribute to dancers everywhere that also features Kenzie! As a former dance dad himself, Steve shares his firsthand experience navigating the competitive dance world and how that inspired him to help bring such an authentic and emotional story to life on screen.

Jill is away this week as she’s with her daughter Riley, who (last they heard!) is in labor! The moms are patiently waiting for updates… but of course, they have questions: What’s the baby’s name? And what in the world will Jill choose to be called (because it definitely won’t be “grandma”)?
Plus, Melissa and Kelly react to the video of Abby Lee Miller losing her headpiece on a roller coaster—their comments might surprise you!

Daylight savings has the moms completely thrown off this week! Jill, Melissa, and Kelly talk about how moving the clocks ahead is messing with everything before diving into all the memories from Brooke’s wedding.

Kelly sets the record straight on who was the most served that night, and the moms admit that they wish they could do the whole wedding over again because it went by too fast. Kelly especially feels like she barely had time to talk to everyone.

Meanwhile, baby watch is officially on as Riley’s due date is just weeks away. Jill shares that she will be at the hospital when the baby arrives and the moms get nostalgic talking about how becoming mothers completely changed the way they see their own moms. They also laugh about just how crazy they were as first-time moms.

The moms are officially on baby watch! Jill is balancing wedding plans in Florida while keeping a close eye on Riley’s fast-approaching due date—but will she have to leave early if the baby decides to come sooner than expected? Could this new grandbaby mean Jill might move … and would she actually consider selling her house?
Meanwhile, Kelly shares that she may also be thinking about a move, possibly selling her Florida place to be closer to her girls.

Melissa catches the moms up on her recent vacation, but it’s not all relaxation—she’s dealing with ongoing HOA drama after both her dog and a neighbor’s dog were attacked in their neighborhood. Now Melissa admits she’s become a full-on helicopter dog mom to her newest pup.

Plus, with the mall not being as convenient anymore, Jill is trying to embrace online shopping. The moms break down what they love (and hate) about e-commerce.
