My kids love playing in a backyard wading pool on a warm summer day. I’ve never had luck with inflatable models (they always spring a leak), but foldable models like this one have worked well.
This multipurpose 20-gallon kiddie pool also doubles as a playpen. It comes with an SPF 50+ sunshade, mosquito net, and even stakes to hold it in place if you take it to the beach. It also folds right up into its own bag. Its diminutive size is perfect for introducing babies and toddlers to water play and the beach’s sights and sounds.
Babymoov’s Aquani Marine Playpen & Kiddie Pool is $99.99 at Nordstrom.

Twice now I’ve posted a question and it has never appeared. I’ve been using the same handle and email for years.
How did you and/or your partner celebrate your 40th birthday? Or 50th?
DH’s is this year and I need inspo. Our kids are all in elem. we’ve been to a couple fab 40th parties, have also had friends that took big trips.
Any tips for making chores fun? Or at least getting compliance? My six year old is sweet but very messy. When I try to get him to pick up his clothes and shoes off the floor and put them in their designated spot, it creates a big fight. I probably shouldn’t do it at the end of the day when we’re all tired and grumpy.
I’m newly pregnant with my first and I’m a little confused about dressing during pregnancy. I’m hoping to buy a few pieces for the summer but I I’m not sure if I should go ahead and size up or just order my normal size because I don’t know how I’ll carry? Currently 8 weeks fwiw
Do you have any experience with releasing a tongue tether? My son is almost 6 years old and has never had any of the symptoms associated with a tongue tether (difficulty nursing/eating, drooling, snoring, speech) but two dentists took a look in his mouth and stated in absolute terms that he has a very pronounced tongue tether. His pediatrician is of the mind that this is not a medically necessary procedure, so we don’t need to snip it. One dentist said that the rest of his mouth “compensates” for the tight tether and the other said that the bottom of his mouth is really tense from working so hard. He has never complained or mentioned anything, but its all he knows and he is not really a complainer. I am concerned that if we decide to not release it, will there be an issue as his mouth grows? Any advice or experience would be super helpful! Thank you!
