Physical seasons, and the modern western calendar, are both based on the sun. Having two moons wouldn’t make a difference there.
Two moons would make the ocean tides more complicated, though.

Perhaps we’d have entirely solar-based calendars with four month-like divisions for the seasons, based on the angle of shadows cast by the Sun (I hear the Mayans had these huge dial things that just counted from 1 to 365) and leap days added onto one season every few years.

You could simply ignore one moon for you calendar. 😄

Seasons could still probably be broken down further than that. A system of 8 solar months would make sense. Basically the times of lots of change in day length vs stable day length.
Also so long as one of the moons continued to roughly correlate to menstrual cycles it would probably have some cultures tell time by it
