Babies are absolutely fascinated by hidden objects (look up “object permanence”). This hide-and-find box from toy subscription favorite Lovevery turns object permanence into a fun game for you and your baby.
Mesmerize your baby with your “magic” skills by making the included ball disappear into the wooden box and reappear through the door. As they get older, they can practice their hand-eye coordination by doing it themselves.
Lovevery’s Hide & Find Drop Box is now available without a subscription at Target for $24.99.

I always give cash for the holidays/ teacher appreciation week. My son just moved up to a new preschool class about a month ago. I want to give his previous teacher and current 2 teachers a gift, but because there are 3 people to gift now, it’s getting expensive. Is it unreasonable to give them a little less cash so they each get something? It would be something more like $40 each instead of $50 if it were just the 2. He’s 3.5 and just moved to the pre-k prep class from the 3-3.5yo class
I need online brain candy, any suggestions? I do a lot of contract editing/revising, and frequently need to take short breaks from reading dense text by reading lighter materials. I used to rely heavily on this and the main page, but have found the main page to be depressingly and increasingly non-inclusive of tr@ns women, and this page takes forever for comments to post, so it doesn’t move as fast. I like reading first person perspectives, and would prefer to avoid hot button issues or topics in the news. This is purely reading for fun, ideally short stories or perspectives from individuals.
Trigger warning for weight talk: I’ve been struggling with weight gain and was hoping for your experiences with weight loss injectable medications (zepbound, ozempic, etc). I only gained 25lb with my last pregnancy but immediately went on zoloft for postpartum depression and not only didn’t lose the baby weight but added another 10 on top of it – so a cumulative gain of about 20 lb (once you subtract the baby’s weight, etc). Then I got hit with surgical menopause at the same time, and even though I’ve been off the meds for a year, I can’t seem to lose any of this weight. We’re dealing with a lot of medical issues with our kids right now, and I can’t focus on a major fitness/diet overhaul, but I wondered if these meds might help since I gained the weight through a medication (as opposed to a change in diet/exercise). I know no one can tell me how I’d react, but I’d love to hear your experiences with these meds as well as whether you were able to find them at a decent price. Thank you!
The thread over on the main page about nephews not saying thank you for $20,000 in a college fund has me flabbergasted. Just…wow. I think I just re-committed to the concept of teaching my kid thank you notes.
