I just booked a flight to Asia, which means nearly 24 hours in transit from the East Coast. So I don’t look like I just spent 20+ hours in economy, I’m going to put on a pair of these eye masks before landing.
These eye masks target dark undereye circles and dull skin. They include Vitamin C and papaya extract for brightening and luminosity. Just apply under your eyes, relax, sit back, and enjoy the flight.
Sephora Collection’s Bright Booster Masks are $4 per pair.

Which of the things that you said, pre-kids, that you or your kids would “never do” actually end up happening? Which things did you stick to your guns on once kids truly were in the picture? Pregnant with our first and entering it with the knowledge that both reality and our preferences themselves will change once we know what we’re dealing with, but also curious what types of things you thought you would do or not do ended up sticking.
this weekend i was doing my 6 year old daughter’s hair and she commented on how her hair is no longer dirty blonde (not sure where she learned that phrase) and is now more brown. she was upset and said that blonde hair is prettier than brown hair (i have brown hair, as do 95% of her friends). i was so not ready for my 6 year old to already have something negative to say about herself when looking in the mirror. i know what i said, but curious as to how others would respond in the moment?
My son started kindergarten, 3 months before the cut-off, after a lot of angst, we decided not to redshirt him. As expected, he seems to be struggling a month in. Nothing from the teacher directly, but he comes home daily saying he got 1 or 2 stars out of 5 for behavior. He cant sit still on rug and rolling around and he accidentally kicks someone when his legs are up or hes talking when hes not supposed to etc. He has said he feels sad he gets in trouble several times, but hes a happy kid and seems to move on. He’s generally fine to go to school too in the mornings too. He does have a ADHD diagnosis from 4, which felt way too early and we wanted to see how he did these next two years. He’s generally SO easy to manage at home compared to at age 3 and 4, but I don’t expect him to sit still etc. He does have responsibilities like dress yourself in the morning before breakfast, clean up etc, all of which he does because we are good about routines maybe. I read recently that the cracks that might be at home turn into huge chasms in public school with adhd, I dont know. I did reach out to the teacher once and she made it sound like she’s committed to working with him and it’s just something some 5 year old boys struggle with and very NBD.
Is there anything to do here other than just remind him to try his best to listen? i’m already researching how I can have him repeat kinder, but his fall testing showed him to be at the levels he needs to be by the end of kinder, so I’m worried he will still be in trouble next year because he will bored (as many of you have said here). my husband is against adhd meds until age 6 at a minimum, which is when most of them start anyway..
Talk to me about photo organization. Instagram is pushing classes on this. Has anyone taken one? My goal would be to find a good way to get all the pics together in one place, right now they are in folder on my mac, on my phone, some on google drive. I also would like to make photo books, but I dont think a class would help for that. Any resources would be appreciated!
Caved- Having kids in competitive swim or softball (two sports I HATE watching!).
Stuck with- no horseback riding or high concussion risk sports
i’ve posted about this before, but one of my first grader twins is driving me insane. she was the easiest kid in the world to potty train, then 2 years later in prek4 started having multiple accidents a day, which lasted for 5 months, we got her a potty watch that vibrated every half hour and in 3 days she stopped the accidents. last year in kindergarten about a month into the school year the accidents started again, and finally stopped 5 months later and now in first grade she is good for like the first week or two and then now is having accidents again. this is clearly not a physical problem and is either anxiety related or something. we have her in play therapy. we’ve tried offering incentives. her classroom this year at school happens to be next to the one she was in last year and uses the same bathroom. the accidents happen both at home and at school. i know there are many many worse problems in the world, but i’m like the only parent i know who still carries around lots of extra clothes in case their first grader has an accident. does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, commiseration, hope, etc.
Someone recently posted for ideas for an at home party I think? This forum is so hard to search! We’re hosting a three year old birthday in our backyard soon. Siblings welcome, and my child has three. We’ve got a big bounce house (rented – only thing I’ve done) and a little bounce house (one of those small ones for little kids that we already own). It’s in the evening so serving kid food. Any ideas for items we can provide that might be a hit? I might get my fourth grader to do balloon animals since she’s pretty good and would like to help, but that’s about as far as we’ve gotten! Thinking chalk, balls, coloring tablecloths and markers?
Favorite places to shop for a 4 year old girl? I’m looking for similar to Hanna in terms of price and quality, but maybe slightly edgier. I love spearmint baby, but they don’t seem to have a lot of offerings for the preschool set. I want to get some cute holiday pajamas and maybe some other seasonal items that are a bit nicer than what we normally buy for her (most of her clothes are from target, old navy, and nice brands purchased on thredup).
if you and your DH ever get a babysitter to go out for dinner with another couple what day of the week does this occur in your home? growing up my parents went out with another couple every saturday night. DH and I are most certainly not that social. But are we weird that like a Sunday or Wednesday or other random weeknight are not good times for a double date?
What is your evening schedule? When do you get home, when do your kids get home, when do you start making dinner, when do you eat dinner, and when do your kids go to bed?
I work from home and usually start making dinner at 4:30 so that we can eat by the time DS comes home from preschool (5:30). Bedtime routine starts around 8 pm. This schedule doesn’t seem to be working for us anymore, though. Mainly I don’t have the time to make dinner because I have to finish up work, or I just need a break before making dinner, or DS comes home and doesn’t want to eat right away and the food gets cold. Writing this out it seems like the solution is to start cooking later, but DS wants to play with me when he comes home and won’t let me cook. DH is not very good in the kitchen and a simple meal will take a long time and create a lot of mess.
