Spring showers can put a pause on outdoor plans. Fill that time with something fun like these clay kits.
These kits include everything you need to tap into your creative side. There’s air dry clay (no oven needed), a bamboo crafting tool, and step-by-step video and written instructions. This particular kit includes four farm animal friends, but there are many others available, ranging from beginner to more advanced ones.
Clay Moo’s Hay Friends Bundle is on sale for $55 (originally $65).

Any recommendations for reasonably priced double stroller? I have a 2 1/2 year-old and a newborn. Although the two-year-old can walk, we live in a city and are often going long distances in the stroller. But I expect with a year she’ll master a scooter and the double stroller will start getting less use, so I don’t wanna spend a ton of money on it.
I posted on the main site too but I know not everyone here reads over there –
My Babyliss hair dryer died and I need to replace it with something other than my emergency backup folding con air circa 1995. I have fine hair and flyaways that get progressively more curly/frizzy as the humidity increases. Suggestions? I could do the expensive Dyson if it’s REALLY worth it but I’m cringing at the idea of spending $500 on a hair dryer.
My kids, 5 and 8, are off from school today. None of our backup childcare options were fully available. DH and I are working from home.
I took them to our neighborhood coffeeshop for breakfast. 8 yo is drawing in his room, 5 yo is playing with his own thing by big bro’s side, probably waiting for his brother to engage him…
Not sure how long the peace will last, but I couldn’t even imagine doing this a year ago with both kids. Maybe not even 6 months ago? So for those of y’all with babies and toddlers hang in there!
(My Mom is coming around 11 to help with lunch/the afternoon, so it’s not completely them on their own)
Kiddo, age 6, is on the sensitive side but I’d like to try introducing a few “scary” movies – she hasn’t really seen any of the Disney classics, for example. Any suggestions on messaging to make it feel less scary?
How do I figure out if I’m supposed to drop off or stay at a first grade birthday party? I can do either, I’m just not sure how to know which is preferred by the host. (I have a feeling if I ask they will say either is fine.)
It’s at a venue that’s maybe 20 minutes from our house, not swimming or anything that would signal one over the other. Help!
A sock query? We’re in the US next week – and my child always has holes in his socks. Are there some good reinforced toed socks? Costco? Old Navy? Kid has small adult size feet.
May post next week as I suspect it’ll be quiet today.
DD turns 8 and her party is May 1. We’re hosting at our house. She had the idea that the party favor could be everyone goes home with a small pot in which they’ve planted seeds for spring flowers while at the party (we have other stuff planned fwiw). We also always send kids home with a gift card for a small ice cream from our beloved local ice cream shop, so we’ll do that, too.
But, back to her idea… is that a good idea? I have a black thumb so I have no clue if this could work. It sounds theoretically fun (and inexpensive, which is a bonus)…. after the food, cake, ice cream, magician… that last 45 mins could be wind down/silly time (dance, karaoke, whatever…) but also have a station where people can decorate a small terracotta-colored plastic pot with some basic paint pens, fill it with soil and plant some seeds then take with you.
Good idea? Bad idea? If good, what exactly do I need to execute this?
Easter basket help – DH usually does this but he’s had a crazy few weeks at work so I’m trying to help out. We prefer to have very little candy this year for reasons – in the past it’s been mostly candy. What else do you put in? We have one book, and I will look for some fidgets. 11 yo boy, likes logic and puzzles, not so much toys.
