Any ideas for a end of year teacher’s gift that is not money/gifts but rather something more personal? We just gave a very generous gift a few weeks ago for teacher’s appreciation as well as a generous wedding gift, so I’m thinking something besides a gift card. I’m the room parent for my kids’ school, so this would be a gift from all the parents. I was thinking some kind of photo book of all of the kids but I ran out of time and don’t have time to put this together (last day of school is next Wednesday). I’m looking for something more personal than just a signed card and flowers. Suggestions appreciated!
I’m tired of having so many clothes. I’ve accumulated a fair amount of work attire over the years. I’m tempted to give my work wardrobe away and just buy five pant suits with shells and call it a day. It’s probably more money than I want to spend, but it would free up some closet and mental space. Less is more, right?
Any recommendations for fun things I can watch on YouTube while pumping?
How are you feeling? It’s crazy to think we’re in the homestretch. I suspect I won’t make it to 40 weeks (baby measuring 2 weeks ahead and my platelets are droppings) so I’m trying to figure out what is nice to do versus what must be done in the next 3-4 weeks.
kind of just venting here: currently 14 wks pregnant (2nd pregnancy so starting to show) and still wearing normal clothes but not well…..yesterday my brother (who i work with) told me my outfit looked like it came from the hillary clinton collection….. don’t get me wrong, we are both HRC fans in general but not of her clothes…. now I feel even more frumpy than i did before and can’t get past it! UGH
Moms of school-aged kids, need opinions. My kiddo is starting kindergarten in August. She’ll take the bus in the morning. School gets out at 3:45, so I’m thinking she’d get back to the neighborhood on the bus around 4:15. I’m home by 5:30. I’m thinking of a mixed bus pick-up plan, something like this: Monday – babysitter, Tuesday – grandma, Wednesday – babysitter, Thursday – grandma, Friday – daddy. Would this be too confusing for a 5 year old/for the bus driver (along with all of the other stuff they have to figure out)? I’d REALLY love to make this work so I don’t have to go pick her up from aftercare, but I don’t want to make the logistics too hard on anyone. Would appreciate thoughts.
I’m looking for some advice on baby name etiquette. My favorite boy name is also the name of the one-year-old son of some friends of ours. DH likes the name but says we can’t use it because they already did. The name is a common one (in the top 10 for 2016).
The other couple lives in the same city as we do and are in our “friend group” from college. The other dad was a groomsman in our wedding 10 years ago, but DH was not a groomsman in the other dad’s large wedding party, if that makes sense. The other mom and I get along, but we don’t really click on a personal level. So, I suspect that part of the disagreement is that DH thinks we are closer friends than we actually are with this couple, if that makes sense.
What do you all think? We need to resolve this soon, because I’m almost 38 weeks….
Any tips on encouraging a 3.5yo to go to sleep / shifting her schedule earlier? We try to put her down around 8:15 with a consistent routine she’s had since she was 2: a little bit of tv, followed by pajamas, 3 books, and a couple stories. She has white noise and listens to a little song on her baby monitor. But then she putzes around her room for almost an hour almost every single night. This has been going on for months. I’m afraid she’s losing the ability to put herself to sleep. Should we just let her stay up later? Selfishly, this would be pretty disruptive to my husband and I, as we use the time after she goes to bed to make our own dinner and get ready for the next day, and have half an hour of couch time. If she’s up until 9pm that leaves us like 45 minutes before our own bedtime. Kiddo has to get up at 6:45 to go to daycare at dad’s work and she is ALWAYS in a horrible mood when she wakes up; she sleeps until 7:30 on the weekends. Her natural schedule seems to be going to bed at 9 and waking up at 7:30, so it’s only 45 minutes on either side, but those are 45 very important minutes. She still naps at school and at home and needs the nap. TIA!
Hey, is Care dot com a scam or what? Like I’m trying to hire a babysitter and it seems like I have to pay to use basically any function?
Hi ladies, I know this has come up a few times recently, but looking for an umbrella stroller to buy for our toddler for a summer trip to Europe. We’re going to two cities– one I think will be more metro and baby wearing (Paris) and limited stroller use, the other we will be doing lots of walking on modern sidewalks. I don’t want to spend a ton, so avoiding the G-Luxe and most of the MacLarens. Right now I’m eyeing the Inglesina Net and Summer Infant 3D-One Convenience. There’s about a $40 price difference between them; the Inglesina stands on its own and the Summer Infant fully reclines, which I’d imagine would be really helpful for napping. Anyone used either of these? Or have a *perfect* other suggestion? Trying to stay below $150 but happy to spend up to that for a good product.
I have a four year old and a four month old. We leave in a MCOL city and total daycare expenses for the two total $3,000/month (does not provide food). Our current daycare is fine. It is at the high end in our city and includes some nice benefits for our older child – think weekly swim lessons, indoor play spaces, etc.
We moved to this city 18 months ago and I preferred our center in our old city. I felt like our child was an individual there and that we had partners in rearing her (we don’t have family in either place). Part of the change may be a culture difference between the two cities.
While we can just swing the cost of our current center, it is tight and limits our savings opportunities. Pros include convenient to home and both offices, clean, known entity esp for older child, provides some social outlet for us, swim lessons, both kids in the same place. Cons include cost, not sure if we are getting so much more bang for buck, lacks the warmth I want.
Older child will go to kindergarten in fall 2018. Our school district only offers half-day K so we will either need a wrap program or need to do private full day kindergarten.
Option 1: Leave both kids in current center and explore k options (wrap or full-day) as needed for next year.
Option 2: Leave younger child in current center (or alternate place) and move older child to 3-5 classroom at Montessori for next two years. No Montessori option for younger child currently.
Option 3: Move both kids to a new, less expensive center and explore k options (wrap or full-day) as needed for next year.
Option 4: Quit job, stay home with baby and enroll older child in part-time preschool. (Ha – I could never hack it.)
