I might be late in the day for this- but when hosting a kids bday party do you have enough cupcakes for all the adults? We’re expecting 73 people (includes parents and siblings) and that’s a lot of cupcakes…
Has anyone here managed a maternity leave at a small/own business/firm? I work for one attorney, nearing retirement, with limited staff. Clients are institutional, so more akin to in-house in some ways. We are considering trying for #3, but career-wise I’m struggling with what that could look like. I WFH, so could have a very short mat leave and then work limited hours for a while, but there is not another associate to just hand my cases to. Nor am I in an area of law where I could just stop accepting new clients and gear-down and back up. If we do this soon, though, at least I could still have clients call my boss for a short mat leave. Has anyone done a short mat leave or otherwise found ways to keep clients when you don’t have a large staff? Been chewing on this for awhile, and on the fence in general about another kiddo.
am i overthinking this, or should i just let it be – my kids’ preference would be to eat protein waffles/pancakes with syrup every day for breakfast. (i miss the days before DH we insisted we introduce them to syrup). i’m fine with them having pancakes or waffles with almond butter or peanut butter. i am not some crazy sugar lady – they have yogurt that has sugar in it, plenty of sweets (cupcakes, cookies, candy, etc. – obviously not all of that every day), but it seems like all they want to do is eat sweet things and the idea of them having syrup most days just seems like a bad habit to get into? thoughts?
Hello ladies, excuse the cross-post, I am looking for tips on how to best screen a candidate for in-home childcare. What are some questions to ask the candidate. How do you follow up with references? Is there a script I should follow? I had a sitter last year when I was wfh but they proved unreliable, so I’m hoping to not make the same mistakes again.
Thank you for the comments re Girl Scouts yesterday – I was a scout for a most of my time in grade school (through most of HS), and my brother was a boy scout for a lengthy time as well. I wasn’t sure what was co-ed vs. not – helpful to know that BSA is co-ed; looks like DS #1 will be a cub scout in the Fall after all!
I tried to switch to a natural deodorant while TTC due to wanting to clean up my cosmetics, but it’s just not working. I need to go back to the real deal, but curious if anyone has found an anti-perspirant that is at least somewhat better than others in terms of including harmful chemicals. Not interested in a debate over the word “chemicals,” but I generally mean that I would like to avoid harsh fragrances, endocrine disruptors, and known irritants. Any ideas?
Anyone have a real-person recommendation to help with thinning hair? Probably this is hormonal and nothing a shampoo can fix but I am curious if anyone has something they feel has worked?
