While I usually view business travel as me time, between meetings, dinners, and remotely refereeing who gets their bedtime story first, I don’t always get the most rest.

This TSA-friendly eye mask gives me the appearance of a restorative night’s sleep. Made of 91% naturally sourced, vegan ingredients, this five-minute mask targets dryness, dullness, and dark circles. There are four masks to choose from that address a range of concerns. In the morning, I put a pair on while drying my hair or checking email for a refreshing start to my day.

Sephora Collection’s Clean Eye Mask is $4.00.

i’m starting to think there is something wrong with my children…they throw things, hit, push, etc. more now at 5.5 than they did at age 2. they definitely had some tantrums at 2, but weren’t as physical, or perhaps i just don’t recall how physical they were. it is almost like now they have bigger feelings and bigger responses. we are very. much working on ways to calm down our bodies, and most of the time they engage in such behavior they are hangry or tired, but we have a trip planned to disney for spring break in March and spending time with them right now is honestly so unenjoyable, that we are thinking of canceling it. they (twins) did start kindergarten this fall and are doing great at school and love school, but their behavior at home is atrocious. Last night I said to DH that I want my sweet 2 year olds back. Idk what i’m asking for – commiseration? advice?

Follow-up on the tongue tie comment last Thursday, the NYTimes has a long article out about how lactation consultants and dentists are pushing those procedures now and results are decidedly mixed- completely tracks with the poster who said her dentist pushed it after their office got a laser!

I got both of my kids tongue ties snipped by a pediatric ENT when they were just days old (the first was at the referral of our pediatrician after the first exam and when she heard about the severe pain I was in while nursing, the second because we heard it’s likely hereditary), so I really had mixed feelings reading the article. Was it necessary? I don’t know! Did it help with nursing? I think so? But also hard to say, considering maybe it’s just tiny newborns that need to learn how. It really made me sad reading it thinking about people trying to prey on vulnerable and scared parents in the super early days of having a newborn to get them to have an expensive, unnecessary procedure.

Paging the person who was looking for experience gifts for early elementary age kids… my 6 year old and I did a chocolate-making class together over the weekend and we both loved it.

Can anyone give a recommendations on a skinny two year old with long legs? My kid is only slightly above average height for a 23 mth old, but has long legs, and is lighter than average (just about 22 lbs). 2T and 24mth pants are the right length but literally fall all their waist, and 18 mth pants fit well at the waist but are a solid two to three inches too short.
Are there any brands that skew narrower in waist bands or long in the pants?

Non-parent looking for favorite kid book recs for Xmas gifts. My niece is 4, and my nephew is 7. Thanks so much!

My 3 year old keeps waking us up at 5-6am to change her very wet pull up. Thinking about trying something more absorbent like goodnites or huggie nighttime pull ups. Does anyone recommend these or something else?

Ok, more gift questions:

1. DS #2’s ST – It’s private ST, and she’s been working with him since November. I was oscillating between nothing or a card + Starbucks gift certificate for $10…should I be thinking more?

2. Housekeeper/House Manager – She started around TG and is FANTASTIC. $100 bonus on top of usual weekly wages OK?

Who and how much for daycare gifts? DS is in the infant room. There is one head teacher but there is also another teacher but it is never the same week to week. I personally always see the same two pre-k teachers at drop off who do breakfast and morning routine until the head teacher comes in at 8. My husband also says there are always different teachers on in the evening at pickup (because head teacher leaves at 4:30) so my son is being taken care of by many people. I want to gift cash. How much to gift and to who??

We got the sad news that the mother of a child in my daughter’s 4th grade class died over the weekend. She was a single parent; the boy’s grandmother is the main point of contact.

I’m the room parent. I’m looking for any suggestions on what I can to for the boy. My kid doesn’t know him very well but he’s got buddies in the class so I’m sure I can find another parent to help me with details. I have a note out to the guidance department as well but just posting in case anyone has ideas.

Reassurance, please that this too shall pass? .

My sparkly, spunky, sweet, DS #2 (newly 3) can just be…a LOT. He constantly requesting the same song on Spotify (when we sit to eat/listen to music) or YT (when it’s screen-time), throws tantrums when he doesn’t get his way – he eventually calms down, etc. When he gets frustrated at a toy he gets upset (tantrum, or growling) and has to be reminded that he can ask for help. There is still occasional throwing of toys/books and food, but it is decreasing compared to 2-2.5. He responds to a stern tone, choices, or if I tell him to be patient, etc.

He naps at school, but weekends are hit-or-miss (luckily he will play quietly in his room).

Yesterday afternoon DH got pulled into work and I was stuck in the kitchen making dinner and dealing with a baking project I had the brilliant idea of starting with DS #1, and couldn’t just take the kids outside to run around or on an outing and it was just SO draining for all parties involved. Thankfully, by 5 PM, we all were outside and things were much better.

I also wonder because he has some minor speech delays if this is impacting things, too – or if this is just a threenager? I think I forgot how my older kid was at 3 since I had a newborn at the time…

What are you getting the 10 year old girls in your life? Im out of ideas and relatives are still asking. Here’s the list so far for my sporty, nba loving swiftie who already has a belt bag and does not want a squishmellow ;):

New Stanley
1989 Taylor swift necklace
Lululemon shorts
Mini massage gun
Sports headbands
Roblox GC
NBA themed PJs (she already has a jersey)
Basketball that lights up (for playing outside)
NBA team trivia calendar
NBA team fuzzy blanket
Kendra Scott necklace
Suitcase
Ski boot bag
Fun ski socks
Board game she asked for
Cool globe (Santa present for all siblings)
MP3 player (got that idea here- thanks!!)
Bluetooth Shower speaker
Bath stuff

She also wants a phone and floor seats to an nba game; neither of those are happening.
