These Clinique Chubby Sticks are my favorite lipsticks, for a bunch of reasons: They’re so easy to put on, not too messy, comfortable to wear, and fragrance-free, and because there’s an element of sheerness to them, you don’t need to apply them with strict attention to the mirror. At $17 they’re really affordable too. It looks like Nordstrom has a better color selection than local stores I’ve been to, so that’s good to know. ‘Chubby Stick’ Moisturizing Lip Color Balm Nordstrom has a huge number of gifts and other sets involving the Chubby lip balms My favorite color is Graped Up, but I’ve also been carrying Fuller Fig around with me for a while.

Anon says
Anyone here a single parent of two kids? How crazy am I to consider two different daycares/schools (and two different drop offs and pick ups)? It would only be for 2 years until Youngest can join Oldest at the new school. It’s a couple thousand of savings for the year. They’re about 10 minutes away from each other, both close to my home. What am I not considering?
Anon in NOVA says
I was a single parent of one for a while, so let me just say you are one tough cookie :)
It’s really hard to say without knowing how much a couple of thousand a year means to you. If it’s literally $2K, that’s $160 a month difference. although they’re only 10 minutes away from each other, two drop offs is inherently longer than one (because you’re doubling the dropoff process itself), so I’d imagine that’s adding AT LEAST an extra 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. It really comes down to if 1 hour of extra trouble a day is worth the $160/month (say there’s 20 work days in a month, that’s a $8 work day cost difference for one extra hour of trouble). However, I completely understand that $160/month is a cell phone bill and then some, so it really depends.
Would two different childcare situations result in two different rounds of colds, viruses, etc? I haven’t experienced it so I don’t know, but I do know how important it was for me to save as much leave as possible when I was carrying the sole burden.
Meg Murry says
Yes, my first thoughts were:
-2 different calendars to deal with for random days off like professional development days, plus snow days/no heat/no water etc
-2 separate rounds of cold & flu bugs
-No sibling discount
Does one place have a drive thru type of drop-off/pickup? Or would you have to get both kids out of the car (or stroller if you walk) go inside to drop off kid#1, then haul kid #2 back out, rebuckle up and go to dropoff number 2? I leave my elementary schooler in the car when I go in to pick up the preschooler, but I wouldn’t leave a tiny kid in the car, or on a day when it’s really hot or cold.
What time do they both close and how close do you cut it now? Would you have to leave work 20-30 minutes earlier to do both pickups? Because I agree that 10 minutes apart equals at least 20-30 extra minutes each morning and afternoon.
Anon says
Ugh. I didn’t think about two different calendars. And neither has drive-thru drop off, so I also hadn’t thought of hauling both in for the first drop off. I should be okay, even with 30 extra minutes on both ends, because I’m lucky enough to have a flexible job that lets me work from home at night. But oh those two calendars. The New School follows public school timing so I need to ask how they treat days off – are they in session or do I need to find alternative care? That might eat up the $2K right there.
The $2K isn’t hugely important to me now, but this sort of “reserves” the spot for Youngest, and when they would both be there, I’d be saving ~$5K/year which does have a big impact. Although maybe not if I have to worry about all the school holidays…
Why in the world does school have to be SO UNFRIENDLY to working parents???
Anon in NOVA says
If it’s relevant for your area, look into the weather policy. Are they going to close every time schools close due to snow? That would add up to a lot of headaches very quickly. Also holiday breaks- I’m assuming you don’t get 2 weeks off for the winter break. If new school is closed for two weeks you’ll have to figure that out, same with Spring Break.
One of my parental regrets is not just going with a larger, more “institutionalized” daycare when my son was younger. I spent a lot of time (and money!) cobbling together last minute childcare. It was heart breaking when it reached the point one winter (when he attended a preschool that closed every time public school closed for snow) he’d wake up every morning and ask “where am I going to be today mommy?”
Anonymous says
I’m not a single parent. I hate multiple drop-offs/pick ups. I’m paying extra for my kindergartner to get after school care at her younger brother’s daycare just to avoid two pick ups. And both my om and DH help with pick ups. You may need more PTO if you have to deal with unexpected closures/issues at two different locations. Instead of the yearly savings, work out the savings per drop off and per pick up – that will give you a better idea of if the savings are worth it.
NewMomAnon says
As a single parent of one in a relatively high pressure career – sometimes you throw money at convenience. Honestly, if I had to choose between paying for cable or ease of daycare drop offs….I would drop cable. Or drop my internet speed, or pack a lunch, or be more aggressive about seeking reimbursement for job-related expenses. I decided against a beautiful, amazing preschool that my kiddo would have loved (and would have saved me money) because it would have added 20 minutes to my morning and evening routines. Those are minutes of my kid’s childhood and my career.
EB0220 says
We have our 2 kids at 2 different daycares. It has worked out OK, but there are a few caveats. Our oldest is at a daycare near our house. Youngest is at daycare at my office, so it doesn’t really add much time to drop off #2. House and office are about 20 min apart. As others have mentioned above, it’s a big pain unloading and reloading everyone at daycare #1. It takes a lot more time to drop off/pick up. We don’t have a whole lot of trouble with conflicting schedules because the on-site daycare at my office is open whenever my office is open. However, there are sometimes scheduling conflicts with special events (Halloween parade, Christmas party, etc.). We have managed that with 1 parent going to each, but harder as a single parent. Also they miss out on those cute sibling photos most daycares do on piture day. In practice, we have not gotten extra sick with 2 different sets of germs. It’s kind of nice to have 2 different sets of parents to get to know, expanding our friend circle. Overall – I wouldn’t do this unless I felt really strongly about one of the two school and only one child could attend the school I felt strongly about. In our case, our oldest couldn’t get a spot at the onsite daycare but it is awesome and very cheap. That’s why we split the kids up. Oh
Question for AIMS says
AIMS— This is AEK. I had a question for you about feeding / eating. A while back there was a discussion about using “real” dishes instead of special kid plates & bowls in plastic or other breakproof materials. I was wondering if you implemented that experiment and how it worked?
We’re still using kid stuff with our almost 2-year old who continues to be, um, zealous during mealtimes, but was wondering if it’s worthwhile to try transitioning to grown-up stuff. I think I’d stick with kid utensils because he can cause serious damage to our counters / floors and possibly his teeth.
PhilanthropyGirl says
Not AIMS, but I’ll jump in here because we experimented with this for a while.
We started using real dishes from the beginning and it really didn’t work well for us. Our bowls and plates were not friendly to a child learning to use utensils – the bowls were too deep to maneuver spoons easily, and the plates were too flat and food just pushed around instead of ending up on the fork. Our toddler would get so frustrated. I had read somewhere that a plate of food can be really intimidating to a child, and it suggested the divided plates or even muffin tins to separate food and help children make sense of what was in front of them.
So we bought one divided plate to see how it worked. We immediately had less frustration over utensil use – and immediate increase in amount of food consumed because he was able to start with what he liked, or pick and choose. For him, there really was something to the organization of separating his food. My son is 2, and we will probably wait until 3 to try to transition back to regular dinnerware.
RDC says
Huh – fascinating. It never occurred to me that there was a purpose to kids’ plates beyond being non-breakable. We’ve been using our regular plates with kiddo (almost 2) but we usually eat off melamine so it’s not fragile and we wouldn’t be too sad about breakage. He has toddler utensils but they’re metal and we do occasionally have issues with banging. (Also have an IKEA table so not too worried about scratches/dents.) He does have trouble actually getting stuff onto the utensils (we sometimes help pre-load each bite) so maybe a divided plate would be good to try.
PhilanthropyGirl says
We use Corelle, so we also weren’t overly concerned with breakage. There are still some things we have to preload onto utensils – spaghetti is coming to mind, since you can’t really scoop it with a spoon or stab it with a fork, it really needs to be scooped with a fork and this is not a technique we’ve mastered yet! But he can pretty much self feed applesauce and yogurt now, which he couldn’t do out of a regular bowl. The improvement was a surprise to me, and enough to convince me that for the time being the divided plate was useful to him.
Meg Murry says
We use a lot of shallow rimmed bowls with my kids, which helps because it has sides, unlike a plate, but isn’t super deep – and food like soup cools in them fast, and pasta doesn’t go flying off like it would on a plate. This is similar to what we have, and it works well. The rimmed shape also makes them easier to carry. http://www.corelle.com/livingware-winter-frost-white-15-oz-bowl/6017636.html#q=rim+bowl&start=27
We have both our “fancy” plates (which are Pfaltzgraff and not all that fancy) and a set of Corelle my mother passed down to us. I like using the Corelle more with the kids because it’s lighter weight and doesn’t chip – a lot of our Pfaltzgraff has chipped edges, mostly from me accidentally banging one into another when loading or unloading the dishwasher.
We also serve things like applesauce and yogurt out of small pyrex bowls (the 1 cup and 2 cup size that come with lids), and that’s a good size for little hands and small servings.
PhilanthropyGirl says
I’m hoping to acquire some of the Corelle dessert bowls – similar to what you posted, but in the 10 oz size. I’ve used them at my MILs and they’ve been ideal for soup/yogurt/applesauce.
In House Lobbyist says
We got the smaller Corelle divided plates and they are awesome. I got so tired of plastic that we made the switch. It has been great. I got a set of 6 on Amazon.
NewMomAnon says
I’ve found that dessert forks are actually better for my kiddo than the stubby little kid forks – the tines are longer and sharper, so it’s easier to load them. And don’t get me started on the flat little kid spoons….
PhilanthropyGirl says
So much truth. I hate how impractical baby utensils are.
But until my 2 YO gets over his interest in poking me with his fork, he can deal with his stubby little kid fork. I am not going to deal with “Poke mama. Want to!” when he has a sharp fork in his quick little fingers.
PinkKeyboard says
Also not AIMS, but we are using real tableware. She uses a straw sippy (thermos) but it isn’t leakproof so she can’t chuck it around. We use real plates and I bought mini metal silverware for her. So far she loves it, she also likes to try to drink out of our grown up glasses so I imagine we will switch to those for her. I keep meaning to order a few cheap juice size glasses that are more to scale. We’re at 16 months and started with real plates before a year.
D. Meagle says
The kids use kids tableware from IKEA. Kids sized (or snack size for adults), plastic cups, plates (with a small lid to prevent food from sliding off), bowls and utensils (spoon, fork, knife). Rainbow package – each set comes with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. We have multiple sets of each to avoid the meltdowns if two kids want the orange bowl, or if one blue plate is in the sink… I noticed that my kids’ nursery school also uses them for snack.
Jdubs says
About 6 months ago I threw out all of our “kid” plates and bowls and bought correlle divided plates and small bowls for my kids. (They were 2 & 5 at the time). I was worried but it has been amazing. So far no breakage and I can microwave on them without thinking about plastic. But the best benefit is that there is no fighting over who gets the pink plate or the one with the princess, etc. Everyone gets a white plate. done.
H says
My almost 2 year old eats oatmeal from a real glass (porcelain) bowl every morning and has for awhile. Occasionally he’ll eat off of a real glass plate in the evenings. And these are nice dishes, not cheaper ones we bought specifically for him. He’s great with it. He still uses plastic utensils and cups.
TBK says
Does anyone have any suggestions for mittens/gloves that would actually stay on a 2 yr old? In past years they were too young to do much outdoor playing in winter, so I either had coats with fold-over hand covers, or I put a pair of my wool trail socks on their hands and up their arms (once the coat is on, the socks are too long for a baby/young toddler to pull off). But not sure what would work now. I can hardly get one of my sons to put a shirt on, ever, so just not sure how I could get him or his brother to wear things on their hands.
CHJ says
Last year, I got my toddler Head mittens from Costco. They work well because they have a longer cuff that zips up almost to his elbow, so they stay on a lot better. You can probably find a similar version online if you don’t have access to Costco. And weirdly, he loves wearing mittens even though he hates wearing pants. Kids, man.
TBK says
Right? My son will wear no shirt, but loves hats and loves having his feet covered. So he typically tools around the house in sneakers, socks, pants, his sunhat (on inside out, rally-cap style because he puts it on himself) and no shirt.
Anonymous says
Laughing out loud at this. Thank goodness for all of our weirdo kids. Mine are the same way. This morning my 4-year-old took a break from getting dressed and was walking around with a long-sleeve t-shirt, firefighter helmet, and no pants (or underwear). Yeesh.
NewMomAnon says
I buy kiddo’s coats a size too big so the sleeves come down over her hands. Because mittens come off the minute she wants to grab something on the playground….
When mittens are a necessity, I’ve learned the following:
– if you buy the little knit mittens, buy a whole bunch of pairs in the same color so you can always find pairs
– the mittens with velcro along the whole back of the hand are the easiest – you open them up, place child’s hand inside, velcro it closed. My kiddo can get them off pretty easily though.
– there are mittens with long “sleeves” that go up under the coat – kiddo’s dad bought her some at Target
– consider the toggles that connect mittens to the sleeves of the coat – my parents called them “idiot mittens” but I don’t know the official name. At least then you won’t lose the mittens.
Spirograph says
These do not exist.
But we have some mittens that zip up, and those have better luck than things that are held in place with elastic alone. Mostly because the “sleeve” part is too small and un-stretchy for the 2-year-old to pull them off easily. I’m not sure of the brand, but a g00gle search would probably find them!

HSAL says
Okay, where do I fall on what’s “normal” for screentime for a 13 month old? She facetimes (I don’t really count that, but man does she love phones) and maybe 1-2 times a month I turn on a baby bum video on youtube for 10-15 minutes or she’s in the room while we finish a tv show after naptime. I saw there were new AAP guidelines that say nothing if they’re under 18 months, but I wondered how it actually plays out in the real world. When do we start watching Sesame Street?
PhilanthropyGirl says
Mine started watching Mr. Rogers around 21-22 months, and it happened less than once a week. He has Skyped with my MIL for quite a while now, definitely since he was about 12 months old – which is mostly him wander around and playing and my MIL talking to DH.
Around 18 months I would also occasionally look at pictures with him on my phone or tablet (let’s look at blue butterflies! cue google image search).
Now that he’s over 2, he may watch Mr. Rogers, Mighty Machines or The Gruffalo – one episode a day or less (with a few exceptions because… life).
Honestly, it hasn’t been a big deal for us. I’m kind of anal about screens in general, so we made it a priority in our family to use them sparingly.
anne-on says
My son wasn’t really interested in screens or facetime at that age, much to my chagrin since I would have appreciated some form of distraction for hospitalizations/surgery recuperation around that age. I think my son really got into shows closer to 2. Honestly, I wouldn’t be able to get ready in the morning without the 15 minutes of TV my son watched while I brush my teeth/slap on makeup/pack up the car, so I don’t beat myself up over it.
Plus, if it helps anyone feel better about whether or not they really benefit from these shows, my 4.5 year old clearly read out ‘shake shack’ as we drove past yesterday b/c Word World taught him that ‘sh’ makes a “shh!” sound from their ‘shark’ episode.
Anon says
+1. My 3 year old can count to 20 (almost, she skips 13 every time) and knows all of her shapes because of Team Umizoomi. She pointed out a crescent on a sign!
Anonymous says
You’re fine. Sesame Street is more designed for preschoolers like 3-4 year olds. She may like Daniel Tiger.
My personal fav and the thing that’s been most consistently a hit with my three kids is ‘Mother Goose Club’ on youtube – they have dvds too though. It’s basically music videos of songs kids love like Wheels on the Bus.
CPA Lady says
I couldn’t get my kid to start watching TV until she was ~18 months old. I am not saying I want her glued to the TV for 5 hours straight, but I wanted her to watch it for a few minutes so I could get ready in the morning. My husband leaves before she’s awake most mornings, so I get us ready and out the door alone. At this point, she probably watches about 20 minutes a day? 10 in the morning and 10 in the evening? I have little baby bum or peppa or thomas the train videos playing for longer than that, but it’s just kind of on in the background a lot of time and she only sits down and focuses on it for a few minutes at a time. I’ve never made it a forbidden fruit, and she’s not that interested in it. It works for us. If she were sitting there staring at it for half an hour straight I might be more uptight about it. But honestly, its one of those things that I just can’t get too wound up about.
ChiLaw says
My gal is 20 months and LOVES screens/phones, but doesn’t get much access. She facetimes maybe weekly on average (almost every day with me when I’m out of town, maybe every 10 days with MIL). We don’t have a tv-tv (we watch on our laptops) which makes it impossible to park her, because she will slam the keyboard and wreck things. She does love watching videos of kids playing violin (??? not gonna say no though — there’s a great one of a gal playing Let It Go) and then she plays along with her practice violin.
She has finally learned “push the button, kids go byebye” which doesn’t stop her from pushing the buttons, but at least she knows what follows?
I have no advice, just letting you know what it looks like from here, about 6 months later. Am sort of hoping we do pull the trigger on buying a TV soon, for parking-her-in-front-of-Daniel-Tiger-sometimes purposes.
H says
I definitely wouldn’t count facetiming as screen time. She is interacting with someone on the other end, not staring blankly at a screen.
Anon says
Fine. I’ll be the outlier. My 15 month old watches about 20-40 min everyday, so does his big sis, while I’m making dinner. I’d say they’re actively watching only about half of that time, but it’s on in the background while they play or color or whatever. I admit I am using it as a babysitter so I can make dinner in my closed-off galley kitchen, get each one of them changed/ pottied/ cleaned after daycare, and put away mail or groceries or packages. (My oldest is potty training, so I need to address her soiled clothes immediately.) Interestingly, as they get older and can interact more, I can use less TV and let them play a little more independently. Big Sis can recognize and verbalize if something unusual is happening, like Bro wandering too far away or fighting over something different than usual sharing issues.
I'm even worse... says
My two-year old watches more than that somedays — I try to limit it, but I’m lazy and it’s hard to get ready in the morning if she’s underfoot and whining. And in the evening if her dad isn’t home yet, she gets to watch it while I try to get through the evening shift.
Momata says
My almost-3yo watches one, maybe two episodes of Clifford or Blue’s Clues after bath and before bed. She has always been very slow to wind down so this is part of that. We did not start any screens with her (other than FT which I don’t count because otherwise she wouldn’t know her grandparents at all) until she was 2, except for when we were all home on a Sunday and our home football team was playing.
My 15mo is not nearly the independent player that the older child was, so to get ready in the morning sometimes I have no choice but to put on a Baby Einstein and give him a snack. He watches about 10 minutes of it before he gets bored. This happens about once a week.
anon says
We had good luck with thin knit mittens from H&M for a three year old with small hands, or maybe we used those at 2 too? I can’t remember. Not super warm or waterproof but he would keep them on. And get mitten clips to attach to coat!
Betty says
I posted something similar over at the main s i t e, but was hoping for any parenting perspectives from this group:
We found out yesterday that our son (5 years old) has Crohn’s Disease. It has been a whirlwind month of tests (labs, CT, procedures under general anesthesia) and appointments. I am relieved to know what is going on and hopeful that we will be able to get him into remission. I also feel like I have been hit by a truck.
I would love to hear from any of you who have IBD on good resources, or anyone who was diagnosed with a chronic illness at a young age. I want to take care of my son physically but also make sure we are taking care of the emotional aspects of the testing and diagnosis, not to mention the upcoming treatment of his illness. Basically, I’ll take any help or advice anyone has. I feel totally unprepared to handle the emotional aspect of this.
NewMomAnon says
So glad you got a diagnosis finally! I don’t have anything helpful to say, except – way to go, momma. It sounds like you did battle advocating for your kid.
LegalMomma says
I have no specific advice, but wanted to say I am pulling for you and thinking of you. My MIL is a nurse, and she has always said the best thing for an ill person is to have a personal advocate who is willing to ask question after question of the medical professionals. So I guess my advice is to not be afraid of asking questions of your son’s doctors/nurses etc. I will be thinking of you.
Anonymous says
Hugs. I’m glad you have an answer. No personal experience, but have you found the blog Ali on the Run? She has Crohn’s (her brother does too) and she was diagnosed when she was 7. She had a guest post from her dad once about how her parents dealt with some of it (http://www.aliontherunblog.com/2015/12/03/when-your-kid-has-crohns-a-guest-post-from-my-dad/). Some of her posts may be helpful (although they’re not really about parenting a child with Crohn’s and more about living with it).
Anon says
Not sure about the severity of your son’s case but my husband has Crohn’s and it seems that, aside from having to get regular colonoscopies even as a young person, it hasn’t really affected his life. Well except that he’s really into buying any product that says “fiber” on the package. But his case is very mild. My cousin also has it and I know she had some bad flare ups as an older teen in high school/college, but she’s the busy mother of two small children and is a PICU nurse, plus takes care of overseeing her grandmother’s health/living arrangements, so I can’t see it’s slowed her down much.
IBD says
My husband has ulcerative colitis and was diagnosed in high school. We haven’t found a ton of great resources (but we haven’t looked hard). Finding doctors you like and really trust is the key! And for him, exercise has been a big tool to help manage stress – not sure how Crohns is different vs. UC, but stress management and handling the emotional side has been critical. When he was first diagnosed and had more flare ups, it really helped that he had a supportive group of friends (they were total jocks/bros but were really good to him and very compassionate – not something you’d expect from high school or middle school boys). You’ll probably have your sons illness under better control before he gets into middle school, so that is nice. For what it’s worth, dealing with this has made my husband a really good human being and a wonderful father and husband. I know this doesn’t answer your questions, but thought I’d brain dump for what it’s worth. Your son will be great – you guys will figure out a routine/health plan that works for him and things will be so much better! Maybe encourage him to avoid high stress careers like investment banking and corporate law ;), but otherwise he’ll be great!
IBD says
To echo anon’s comments – it hasn’t slowed down my husband at all (he has the highest stress career – i just think it might have been better for his health if he was in something a little lower pressure). I’d probably say he has more severe case too. The only impact I can think of is that he doesn’t like camping as much as he otherwise would – he likes to be near a bathroom. As long as your son’s cub scout camping trips are to places with port a potties, he’ll be just fine. All manageable things!
Betty says
Thank you all so very much for the support, resources and words of encouragement!
And I will have no problem steering him clear of corporate law (as I sit in my corporate law office).
