I follow Eva Chen on Instagram, and she has been wearing this Shiseido “multi-use” highlighter as eyeshadow after it was recommended to her by a makeup artist she used. Eva is the director of fashion partnerships at Instagram, a social media early adopter, mom of two toddlers, and a recent children’s book author. For those looking for strong female book characters, I suggest you check out her book, Juno Valentine and the Magical Shoes. Anyway, Eva has recently been Instagram story-ing about this eyeshadow, and it looks like a great buy. It is shimmery, but still looks grown-up and subtle. I am definitely going to pick this one up! It is available at Nordstrom for $25. Aura Dew Highlighter

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Baby is nine days late do they will probably induce me tomorrow or Wednesday. Anything I should do to prepare? Anyone here have labor induced and go on to have unmedicated labor? I am allergic to all pain meds and it’s making me anxious to have this process prematurely speed up (ie not at my bodies natural pace) and then have to deal with that style of labor without meds. Plus not having the option to labor at home for most of the process has me dreading it. Wishing I was in the rest of the world where they let you go longer until they induce you and they send you home after they start the induction process. Oh well. Trying to be postive and be like this way I can get my nails done before…
BTW- yes I have tried every trick in the book to get the little one to show up and nothing is working.
I’m going to Paris soon with a very big 14 month old. We don’t plan to use the car seat in Paris, although I suppose we might want it in an emergency (eg she gets sick and we need to go to a hospital). For the plane would you:
1) bring the Cosco travel car seat, which is light and easy to get through the airport but which she finds super uncomfortable and can’t sleep in or spend more than a few minutes in (so we would only use it during turbulence, takeoff and landing)
2) bring her regular Britax seat which is heavy but she seems to like more (but still likely won’t sleep in)
3) not bring a car seat and use a CARES harness on the plane – she meets height and weight requirements for this and it’s the most convenient option, but I have no idea how she’ll do just being in a seat.
I assume sleep is least likely with the harness, but I think odds are very good she’ll stay awake the whole flight no matter what we do.
Looking for easy menu ideas for my second daughter’s birthday party this Saturday at our house. I want easy as possible (This Mama is tired – baby is teething and not sleeping well!). The timing of the party (2:30 pm) is throwing me off as it’s not at a meal time. I am all for outsourcing this as I would like minimal prep/stress so that I can enjoy time with family & friends. Originally, I was thinking of Qdoba catering (super easy & who doesn’t love Mexican food), but my husband thinks that it will be too much food for an afternoon party as most people will have already had lunch. What do you think? Should we just have snacks instead? We have Costco and Sam’s memberships – if there are suggestions of pre-made food there, I’ll take them! Yes, I know, I’m overthinking this. Thank you in advance!
I have an all-day interview with a law firm later this week and am very clearly 6 months pregnant (which they already know about, so not trying to hide it). I have two options – create a suit out of my black maternity suit pants and a black jacket, or wear a gray herringbone sheath-type dress with a black jacket. Thoughts?
In any other instance I would have worn court attire, no doubt, but for some reason I am going back and forth. I think because the gray dress looks and fits better. Please talk me off the ledge and tell me it is ridiculous to wear anything other then a full suit to this. I am an eighth year atty and they reached out to me, in case that has any bearing, which I am not sure it does.
I’ve poated before about my 10 month old who is sick non stop. Without exaggeration, every other week since Oct 1. Luckily it’s been run of the mill stuff – bad croup, stomach bugs, ear infections. 3 ER visits, one long hospital stay. She’s getting ear tubes next week. However, here we are, sick again – croup and a high fever, which hit on day 10 of antibiotics from her last double ear infection. Ear tubes will help some but not the croup and stomach bugs..
My question: Is this just truly terrible luck or some underlying issue? Is there even such a thing that would make her so suceptible to getting sick so frequently? I’m not even sure what question to ask the pedi. She is a daycare kid, so we know that’s some of it but this feels like insane frequency.
I think we’ve talked about good kids tables for the toddler and preschooler set. Does anyone have a table that works well for elementary schoolers? Or would you just go with a regular table? I’m looking for a small table or desk that my 7 year old can use for homework in our home office. The kitchen table is too distracting with little sister running around/trying to do “homework”/etc.
Talk to me about toddler lunch boxes! We’re about to move our 2-year-old twins to a new daycare where we have to pack lunches so this is a whole new world for me. I like the idea of bento boxes rather than tons of little tiny containers, so does anyone have recommendations? Points for dishwasherable and not super expensive since we probably want 2 for each kid. (I’m thinking I’ll want to pack lunch at night and not have to wash and dry the boxes first, does that seem right or do you all just have 1 that you wash and repack every night?)
Anyone have tips for helping a teething 6 month old sleep? I’m exhausted and feel so bad for the little guy.
How important is it for a school-aged child to drink milk and how much do you give? Kids are 4 and 6. We have gotten out of the habit of giving our kids milk, they drink just a cup or two a week. They don’t love it so it has just fallen to the way side.
My husband noticed that they are not growing as quickly so we’re now going to give 2 cups a day (at breakfast and before bed). We are vegetarian and they get a lot of other protein otherwise — beans, eggs, cheese, yogurt, etc.
I’m feeling really guilty about this, clearly we can remedy the situation but am curious what others are doing.
I’m looking for tips on starting solids and am overwhelmed by the internet. My pediatrician said anything except honey is fine, which isn’t super helpful. What were everyones’ babies’ first foods, and how did it go?
I applied for a job and have an in person meeting with the recruiter/search firm who’s handling the position this week. I’m also 7+ months pregnant. Is this something where I should shoot them a quick email to warn them or can I just let things speak for themselves?
I’m already iffy on this because it would be a terrible time to switch jobs – but it sounds like it could be a good role! – so I think that’s why I’m extra sensitive!
My newly-minted 5yo (just had her birthday) has been having ALL. THE. FEELINGS. and has resorted to tantrums. Like, slamming her bedroom door and sobbing. Throwing all her sheets and pillows off her bed in the middle of the day. Throwing her stuffed animals. Kicking my shins. Obviously none of this behavior is acceptable and I am really struggling with it. I’ve tried positive reinforcement, I’ve tried rewards, I’ve tried naps, I’ve tried putting her to bed earlier, I’ve tried limiting sweets/sugar, I’ve tried adding extra fruits and vegetables, I’ve tried playing with her, I’ve tried letting her play alone… I’m exhausted. I’m pretty sure this behavior is resulting from the new house we moved into 2 months ago. But when will it end? How can I help her deal with this? Any ideas? (Or commiseration?)
Can y’all help me with sleep training that doesn’t involve CIO? We just moved our newly turned 5 mo from a Rock n Play in our room to sleeping in a crib in his room. He slept like a champ in the Rock n Play, but has been waking up a lot more frequently in the crib. Totally understandable during the transition, but I want to ensure we’re helping him learn how to fall back asleep on his own. So we’re planning to do the increased check times – start with 5 min the first night, then 10 min the second night, etc. But once we go in to check on him…then what? I’m EBF so if he sees me, he definitely wants to eat. Do I/we pick him up? Try to comfort him without picking him up? If that doesn’t work after awhile then what? Is the goal to comfort him until he stops crying? I’m assuming we don’t give him a pacifier because then we would be stuck running in to put it back in his mouth every time he wakes up. How do I know when he really does need to eat? I’m assuming it’s not unreasonable for a 5 mo to be hungry at least once in the night. Help! Thanks.
