Summer vacation plans? These mess-free markers will keep your kids (and you) happy.

This handy coloring kit from Crayola comes with 30 blank pages and four markers. The neat thing is the colors only show up on the included Color Wonder paper, so you don’t have to worry about scrubbing little hands, carpet, or furniture. We used Color Wonder products on almost all our early family trips for hours of easy entertainment.

Crayola’s Color Wonder Stow & Go Coloring Studio is $11.89 at Target.

Does anyone have experience with slumberpods? I will be taking my 3 month old on vacation for 2 weeks and she will be staying in my room in the pack and play bassinet. Tia!

I have two preschoolers. Only one was invited to a birthday party at a local park. They are in different classes at the same school. Is there any non-rude way to ask to bring them both with me? I suspect the answer is no but it would make my life so much easier if I could figure out a way to say yes. It’s not a dropoff party and we also have an infant at home, so if he doesn’t come he will be stuck at home with the other parent and baby. (I know that is part of life but it’s hard when he also knows the child and wants to play at the park too.)

I made basically a DIY version of this and it is awesome. We grab both for the kids for longer car rides, restaurants, etc. I wish I’d seen this first tbh. Great idea.

Ugh. Riding the struggle bus into the end of the week. LB (15 mo) was utterly unable to sleep last night and the night before. He’s crying and screaming like he’s in pain but during the day he’s his usual happy self, maybe just a little subdued (with the exception of this morning, he’s obviously exhausted). I’m wondering if maybe he has a head or neck ache from playing rough? How do you guys figure it out when there’s no signs except mood and behavior?

Hi All! I’ve posted a few questions recently about interviewing for in-house positions after being with a law firm for about 12 years. I have a call scheduled for later today to discuss an offer. Unless any major red flags come up, I intend to eventually take this position after some negotiation. I have two (somewhat related) questions.

First, as I mentioned I’ve been out of law school for 12 years. I worked for 4 years between undergrad and law school. I am 41. How much vacation time should be my goal?

Second, although my general sense is that this company is reasonably flexible, I’ll be coming from a law firm of about 25 attorneys where no one cares what my schedule is as long as the work gets done and clients are happy. I am worried that losing some of this flexibility will be hard on my kiddo, who is 7. Can folks weigh in on how you make sure time spent with your kids is quality? I don’t necessarily mean every moment, but the things you do on a daily/weekly/monthly/etc. basis that make your kids feel connected to you and generally satisfied. In addition, any book recommendations on the subject specifically aimed to working parents would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance!
