For many years, I’ve loved browsing the Sundance Catalog — and even though I haven’t ordered anything in quite a while, I still receive it in the mail. Sundance was founded in 1989 by Robert Redford (after he created what is now called Sundance Village in 1969) and sells beautiful clothing, jewelry, accessories, and home goods.
I loooove their jewelry most of all — especially the turquoise designs — and have coveted many of their pricier items. I also like the company’s commitment to supporting important charities.
I’ve been exclusively wearing post earrings lately, because dangly earrings don’t work well with a face mask (so annoying), and I really love this lapis, turquoise, and amethyst handmade set. The oxidized silver settings are so pretty and are a nice balance between simple and ornate.
The set of three pairs is $78. Color-Coded Earring Trio

Has anyone found waterproof mittens for toddlers? We need something for playing in snow and everything I’ve seen is way too big. Thanks!
Question about health insurance for pregnancy/labor and delivery– We are currently in the open enrollment period for my husband’s insurance and are trying to evaluate whether it is more cost-effective for me to get on his insurance or stay on mine. However, I’m having a really hard time figuring out what type of costs I need to be anticipating for labor/delivery or the rest of pregnancy that I need to actually compare between plans. Any thoughts on how to find out this information or what types of things I should be looking at? Currently just entered the second trimester, so all major costs will (hopefully) be in 2021.
Also– some background on why this is difficult– my firm pays for my insurance and fully funds my HSA. It is a high-deductible plan with an out of pocket max that is about $7K. So, assuming I hit the out of pocket max, I would have to pay about $3500 myself next year. So far, I have been pleasantly surprised that most everything has been covered by my plan, but I’m sure I will easily hit the max with delivery costs. If I go off the firm plan, they will not fund my HSA or give me a stipend for insurance. DH has access to a lot of different choices of plans through his company, but so far, we have not been able to find one that is obviously more cost-effective.
Ideas on what sleeping compartment to buy for soon to arrive baby # 2? Our daughter (who is now four) slept in the pack-n-play at night and napped in the rock-n-play. She slept so well in the rock-n-play, but I know that is verboten now. She never slept super well in the pack-n-play. Is there something more comfortable than the pack-n-play? Are the expensive bassinets worth the price? Thanks so much for your insight!
You guys are so good at picture outfits… I bought this dress for ODD and a matching top and green leggings for younger daughter:

Ahhh long link. Help with a dress or cute top for me? I always end up wearing an off white sweater and jeans. Going to put my husband in a light brown checked shirt and jeans. Son probably in a grayish green vest and khakis, if he’ll cooperate!
Looking for book recommendations…lately my kids (2.5 and 4.5) have been more interested in longer books. Favorites are the Iris & Walter series, Barkus, Mercy Watson, Dodsworth, and the Henry & Mudge series. Any recommendations for other books in this vein? Basically, reader level 2/3 seems to be the sweet spot to keep both of them happy (to clarify, they are not reading on their own; I am reading to them). I tried Frog and Toad but that got a thumbs-down.
Same. The pediatric dentist recommends coming earlier, but… of course she does. I would not bother going before 18 months at the earliest unless you notice that teeth are coming in very late or there’s some other issue.
Side note, I just don’t have dental insurance in general because I added up the total cost of paying out of pocket for a year’s worth of cleanings and exams for the whole family and it was less than the insurance. We might be out some money if anyone has a dental emergency, but so far so good (knock on wood). Especially if you are not already on a family plan, I wouldn’t pay the extra to add an 8 month old.
Open enrollment time. Do I add my 8 month old daughter to dental coverage? Cost is minimal. She has no teeth yet but I’m expecting that she will grow some soon (let’s hope!!!).
Any advice for first hair cuts? My almost 3 year old badly needs one and I did such a bad job trimming her bangs when she was a baby that I think I’m just going to take her to a salon (she wears a mask like a champ and we’re not in a hotspot). My salon says they’ll cut kids’ hair during an adult haircut and it seems like it would be helpful for her to see me getting mine cut first, but I don’t really get how this works logistically – what if she decides to run off while I’m in the shampoo chair unable to chase after her? Should I just make separate appointments for us?
My 15-month old decided to jump head first out of the tub last night! I sort of caught him, but he busted his lip (we’re lucky he didn’t crack a tooth!). I guess my question is, how can I prevent this from happening? It really freaked me out, though baby is fine — he was only mad I took him out of the tub.
