Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Baby Tissue Box Toy
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
My niece once reached over her crib to grab a tissue box and proceeded to empty the entire thing. With babies like her, I can see where the makers of this tissue box toy got their inspiration.
This sensory toy takes tissue boxes to the next level — it has a mirror, crinkly leaf, peek-a-boo game, and more! The colorful “tissues” are made from cotton and satin fabrics and the whole thing is washable as well. Your little one will enjoy pulling out and putting away these tissues over and over again — and will (hopefully) leave your real ones alone.
This tissue box baby toy is available on Amazon.

Tips for an overnight flight with a 2yo? We got lay flat seats hoping she’ll sleep but worried about the lights bothering her. Will they let her lay with me? Anything else that might help?
I’m sorry but I have a rant. I do not want to do an auction for my kids’ PTOfundraiser. Will you please just send me a form saying “we need this amount of money and there are this many kids enrolled: will you please give x or whatever you can?” And I’ll write a check. Ok end of rant. Cute things your kid did?
Vacation ideas for Feb vacation week 2024? I have a neurodiverse 6.y.o. (sensory issues/ADHD) who likes to do the same routine as much as possible (on vacay – eat at the same place for each meal, swim in the same pool, maybe try one other thing, but go back to the same pool). 3 y.o. is very adaptable. Are the all-inclusives worth it if we are only going to do the same thing everyday for a week? Also, the less crowded the better. Preferably direct flights from Boston, but can do NY as well. We are willing to spend on it to not be miserable.
and ideally with decent food (for adults at least)
I missed the PTO discussion the other day but wanted to weigh in. I live in a wealthy Boston ‘burb. Our elem PTO is run by mostly women. It’s a mix of women that are stay at home, part time, and full time working parents at the very core group (eg the 4-5 main roles) but there are TONS of men and women in the “committee chair” type roles that work full time.
Our current treasurer (has been other roles) is a FT working mom in big 4 consulting. She has 3 boys and her husband is the one with the flex job. Husband does a lot of the “feet on the street” type work with the school (pick up X, go into the classrooms, run a bunch of stuff over for a teacher appreciation event etc), coaches all the sports teams and heads up a couple committees. Wife does the financials, meeting planning behind the scenes, gets people to sign up for stuff, etc. etc.
Our VP is the mom of my kid’s BFF. She is a whip smart, wonderful woman with a great career and has been working part time since her oldest went to K in 2012. She’s been all roles in the PTO and her youngest is now in 3rd grade.
Current president is a SAH mom who runes a non profit in her “free” time.
I’m on the auction committee and have run the book fair in past years. The committees i’ve been on are a real mix of full time working parents and those with more flexible situations.
I would like to take my teenager to the Star Wars land at Disney World for one day this summer, with the goal of getting on all the Star Wars rides and building a lightsaber. I have heard and read conflicting reports about how to get on Rise of the Resistance and the Millennium Falcon ride. Has anyone been recently and successfully navigated this? I haven’t been to Disney since the days of paper tickets.
Parenting positivity after yesterday’s convo? I’m in awe of SAHMs after today.
I’m off with my 5.5 year old and we painted Ninjago symbols, he helped me with the laundry, played dinosaur bingo, did reading practice, went to the library, cycled to the skate park, where one of his friends’ dad tried to teach him to rollarskate, went to the walled garden, and then wrapped by falling off his bike at 10 mph and giving himself a fat lip. Some medicinal ice cream and he’s up for his rest before my husband takes over. I should be baking a trial cake and tidying for the cleaner but I’m exhausted. We’ve had a lovely day but working is definitely easier.
my child has some odd bug. we were out of town last week wednesday – saturday and on saturday evening shortly before getting on our flight home she said her tummy hurt, but in the same sentence said she was hungry so we didnt think much of it, and then an hour later she was puking on the flight. Sunday she was kind of out of sorts, and said her tummy hurt a bit, but she kept food down, no fever, and i figured she was just exhausted from the very late bedtime. yesterday she went to school and gymnastics and had a great day, ate dinner, etc. and then woke up at like 11pm vomiting again, so had to keep her home from school today. seems so random/inconsistent. anyone else’s kiddo have something like this
I’m returning to work next week after my second mat leave and finding it MUCH harder, emotionally, than the first time around. Logistics are the same (same job although bigger/more responsibilities, same childcare which is a nanny so i still see them during the day and will nurse). Maybe bc it is (maybe?) our last baby? Sigh. Wish US mat leave was longer than 12 weeks.
Somewhat kid-related in that it will mean a big move and much more living space: we just put in an offer on a house in MN, very near BIL and SIL… eek! Wish me luck!
