I haven’t figured out a tidy way to store my tanks. This simple, space-saving hanger might be the solution.
This clever hanger organizes tanks, scarves, and other delicate items. It also makes it easy to see everything at a glance. The rounded ends won’t snag fabrics and they stop your clothes from slipping off.

Just tried to give screaming flailing kid a Covid test. The swab came into contact with her hair on its way to the second nostril. Do i have to retest? Or it’s probably ok? Covid testing bc she was up half the night with a fever and we got a notice from the school that someone from her class has Covid
So I’m pretty sure I’m having my second consecutive miscarriage. My doctor is taking the “sorry, this happens” approach, but I keep seeing articles about how miscarriages aren’t getting enough medical attention and would really prefer not to continue doing this blindly. What sort of referral am I looking for here? Any other advice? I get pregnant pretty easily, then growth stops around 6 weeks, but my body still reacts like I’m pregnant (nausea, high hcg) and I don’t actually miscarry until much later.
This was me. I pushed back HARD against the “it just happens” trope. Ask for a recurrent pregnancy loss blood panel. The old guidance was that 3 miscarriages constituted RPL but many providers now say 2. It will include testing for certain antibodies. This sounds crazy but I had an overactive immune system that was killing the developing embryo. My successful pregnancies required me to be on immunosuppressants. Additionally, get your thyroid checked. TSH should be below 2.5 when trying to conceive.
I would go to a reproductive endocrinologist, not an OB or PCP. I spent dozens and dozens of hours researching on my own- legitimate medical journals, not just like WebMD articles . I found that it’s absolutely crucial to be well informed and educated about fertility issues. I wasted over a year trusting my doctor and then once I was able to push back respectfully (and find a new doctor) the tides turned.
We recently moved DD to a toddler bed and we’re having trouble finding the right blanket/ quilt set up. She doesn’t like being in a sleep sack anymore, understandably, because it makes it awkward to get in and out of the bed. But the only things I can find are: a) baby quilts/ blankets, which are generally too small and too easy for her to kick off during the night, which makes her cold and wakes her up, or b) quilts/ blankets for normal beds, which are so big that she keeps losing her stuffed animals in them and getting upset. Has anyone found a good option for this? Her room is on the colder side, which makes it more challenging as well.
I’ve posted a lot about my now 2nd grade girls with behavior issues/?ADHD. At last update, we bumped her long awaited neuropsych from Nov to January because she was much more stable and also due to an insurance benefit that kicked in in 2024 (the first was the primary reason; the latter was a bonus!). $4800 out of pocket later (some of which will now be reimbursed), she did 2 days of NP testing.
We had a meeting with the NP last night and it seem like we are narrowing in on a dx- she tested out as gifted (1%) and is a “very borderline” adhd in combination with some delayed exec functioning which is within normal range…but she’s also very young for her grade which compounds things.
We are in a state that does not have a G&T program in the public schools, nor do I necessarily think she needs that at this stage. It’s super interesting to think about this poor 7.5 y/o who is academically/mentally advanced, emotionally a 6 year old, plopped down in 2nd grade with some attention issues. It’s an exact recipe for what we see. Even things like her explosive and uncontrolled behavior when tired are apparently likely her brain firing on all cylinders but the car is out of gas.
Her teacher loves her and has not flagged any issues this year. Frankly, it’s what we suspected- she could hit grade level benchmarks with 5% effort. It’s when the work gets harder and homework and long term planning projects kick in (middle school) or when the early elem scaffolding is removed (3rd/4th grade) that kids like her apparently start to struggle.
Would love any thoughts or insights as we start down this path.
A few people here mentioned that their kids goes to Russian School of Mathematics (RSM). Can you please tell me about your experience? We started in the fall, because my 3rd grader was complaining that the math at school was too easy. She was doing well, but then she started complaining that RSM math was boring too, we moved her to the next level class starting in January (the mid-level) and she’s complaining that one is “boring” too, it’s too much of the same thing over and over. She struggles with attention on the homework but gets it right when I can get her to actually focus, and the feedback from her teachers has been very positive, she’s getting As for classwork. I’m not sure what my question is here, just curious what other people’s experience has been.
In case it matters, I attended elementary school in Russia and the math at kid’s regular school seems like a joke to me. RSM math is almost-but-not-quite at grade level according to my cousin in Russia who has a 4th grader.
I have b/g twins, age 4.5. Over the last year, it’s really clear that my son is lagging physically behind his sister and other kids his age. His teacher and I had a long talk yesterday, and she’s seeing delays in planning and processing (like, he really struggles to put on his shoes or his jacket by himself), and he just gets physically exhausted on the playground/will not engage in physical play with other kids (low muscle tone is how she put it). Her observations are completely consistent with what we’ve seen at home and around peers.
We have him going in for a full PT/OT evaluation over the next few weeks, but I guess I’m looking for encouragement that it will improve. He just…can’t hang, and it breaks my heart. We took him sledding over the winter, and he hated it because it was too hard to walk in his snow boots. He can’t make it through a 30 min rec dance or basketball class without wanting to rest. He gets frustrated so easily when trying to complete tasks that other kids his age seem to manage effortlessly. I still carry him pretty frequently. I don’t need him to be an athlete – but he is just so completely different from his twin sister and my older child, and the gaps in abilities of doing normal day to day stuff feels like it increases every single day as they get older. I’ve never had a child like this, and I’m really struggling with whether he’s just different from my other kids/if this is an issue that will improve with time and some support.
Does Patagonia run large for toddlers? I missed the start of the sale and 4T is sold out in the style I want (hi loft down hoodie jacket/coat) but 3T is available. My 37 month old is average height and 25th percentile weight and wondering if he will fit into 3T next winter..
Going on a 16-hour flight with our 3-year old in a couple weeks. The flight is a redeye. I got a Flyaway bed for him. What medicine can we give him to get him to sleep on the flight? Dramamine? Melatonin? Rx from his pediatrician?
