Family Friday: Kids’ Cozy Fleece Leggings

My daughter is going through a leggings phase — no jeans, chinos, or sweats. As the temperature starts to dip, these fleece-lined leggings from Gap Kids will be perfect for her outdoor adventures.
They currently come in six colors/patterns (I hope Gap Kids will release more as we move later into fall) and are made from a soft knit and sherpa lining. These leggings also have an easy, pull-on elastic waist and skinny fit, so they’re perfect for under dresses and skirts. They seem so comfortable that I want an adult version for myself!
Gap Kids’ Cozy Fleece Leggings are on sale for $23 for solid colors and $19 for patterns. They are available in sizes XS (4/5) to XXL (14/16).

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
We’re looking for a new house in Texas where we can reasonably swim 6 months of the year with a backyard pool (heated slightly some months). 95% of the homes were looking at have a pool and our kids are 4 and 2 and it’s more useful right now to have grass than have a pool but I’m having trouble finding homes without a pool. Some of the homes are on quiet cul de sacs but my husband refuses to let the 4 year old play in our front yard unsupervised (I disagree but as in all things parenting, the person being more safe should win).
We have a fenced backyard now and the kids run around and I can see them from my kitchen and I’m not sure if I’m overthinking how much of a PIA it would be to a) not have grass in backyard and b) never let them out in the backyard for many many years for pool safety without supervision. Any tips from others in this situation? At what age will grass in yard feel less necessary?
Our local Costcos have been out of the kids MyFLTR masks that my son really likes for a while. Any leads on good disposable masks for kids that I can order online? He’s 7 but has a larger face/head than most 7 yos.
I know a lot of people here have kiddos who’ve struggled with constipation, so I just wanted to share that the Culturelle Kids Regularity packets (basically, probiotics plus fiber + kiwi extract) have been a g-dsend for my 3 year old daughter. She went 9 days without pooping and we were afraid we were going to have to do an enema, but one of these produced a poop within 24 hours, and now she gets one packet daily and has 1-2 soft poops a day. It’s truly amazing for a kiddo who has hard, relatively infrequent poops basically since she started solids. Miralax did nothing for her and almost seemed to have the opposite effect (she was on it for several weeks before we tried Culturelle) and our ped’s only advice was “keep upping the dose.” I also feel much more comfortable about using this long term, which is good because her issues long pre-dated potty training and don’t seem to be going away anytime soon.
Burnout mom from yesterday here. Thank you all for the great advice. I went to bed early and woke up to learn that in a couple of weeks my husband will be gone on a day when I have no critical meetings, so I can take the day off to do whatever I want in an empty house. The kid got out the door for school with no drama. Then my boss called to tell me that instead of getting fired, I am getting a long-overdue promotion that I’d just about given up on. I am now slowly working through my e-mail and to-do list figuring out which balls to drop. I still have way too much work and way too much stress, but there’s a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.
Any recommendations for a nursing friendly dress for size 14/16 with very large boobs for babies christening ? Does not need to be fancy at all but I would like it a step up from the very thin Amazon nursing dresses I have been using which you can see every lump. I have not been out of around the house clothes since a (pretty traumatic ) birth, and feel kind of a loss on where to look. I’m much bigger than I have been before and still look about 4 months pregnant so something mid section flattering / forgiving would be the best . Thanks in advance
Moms with older kids, do you have any recommendations for good resources for figuring out screen time limits and rules for older kids? (Say, upper elementary through middle school?) Where I’ve landed is that DS needs to learn how to navigate this stuff with a lot of parental guidance and supervision, yet I still feel like it’s hard to control because there are so many stupid screens and platforms to monitor. Even when we don’t allow certain platforms, it seems that many of his peers have full access to gaming and social media at a really young age. For example, he’s fully aware of everything happening on TikTok even though he doesn’t have access to that platform, because many of his peers do. I feel like we’ve lost control of how he might be influenced by media. We’re having a lot of conversations about it, but I resent how much of my parenting bandwidth it takes to teach this stuff! Like he definitely watches too much TV but that’s almost the least of my concerns?
The newer research coming out about how kids’ brains are not equipped to handle this responsibility kind of scares me. DS is not on social media yet but does have access to Messenger Kids to talk with close friends and family members, all of whom have been approved and added by us. We’ve been looking more carefully at his messages lately and have seen that his online etiquette is not great. Nothing nefarious, but he’s pretty demanding for immediate responses from people, which I want to nip in the bud. I regret giving him access to Messenger in the first place but lost that battle to DH. Kid knows that we have the power to check his messages and we will. Before anyone yells at me for violating my kid’s privacy, I see this as being akin to training wheels on a bike. He doesn’t get unfettered access yet. Kid has access to YouTube; our rule is that he has to use it in a common area and not in private. So far, he mostly watches dumb videos from Preston Stylez and a variety of other videos related to his interests (science and music). But I’m not naive that he could run into other things in the process.
HELP. This turned into kind of a rant but truly, I would like some good resources for helping me make good decisions about what to allow and when.
cross-posted from main site, realized after I posted this place made more sense, probably.
Holy crap. My XH had a car issue yesterday, and when I said I couldn’t do his (one weekly) pickup from daycare because I had a board meeting, he found friends to pick our preschooler up and drop them at XH’s apartment, and mentioned probably getting an Uber to mine. Cool.
When preschooler was not back at 7:30, I contacted XH. He said they were “walking” on a street that doesn’t actually exist. He insisted that’s where he was and that he was west of I-35 (a 12-18 lane highway). I told him to stay still I would come find them and to drop me a pin. He eventually said he was on a different street (a four-lane one with no sidewalk and a 45MPH limit), and then finally sent a pin. He was on a THIRD street, still a mile and a half from my house, with our preschooler on the side of the road in the dark. I know the crossing well because I used to bike there, and it’s sketchy as a grown adult in the daytime on a bike. there’s no sidewalk and no lights, and cars are merging on and off the highway. My fiance and I immediately drove there, and we also sent my friend who lives near by, and we found him. Kid was fine, if exhausted. I didn’t even say anything to XH because I didn’t want to speak out of anger or scare the kid.
I can’t tell if I’m being the crazy person, but who the f leaves (90 minutes later than they would need to) at dusk to walk a preschooler 3.something miles home across an interstate in the pitch black?! Do I need to limit his custody? He already just has 3-5 hour chunks, no overnights or weekends. Do I need to insist he get evaluated for something? I can’t think straight.
Do you think pregnancy qualifies a person for a booster? It seems a big murky…the official wording is that people 18 to 49 with underlying conditions receive a booster “based on individual benefit and risk.” I mean, my immune system is definitely compromised. I guess the right answer is to ask my OB.
What are maternity clothes must-haves / what’s the minimum amount I can get away with? I’ve just been wearing stretchy leggings/joggers since I WFH, but even those are starting to get uncomfortable. I had already put on some COVID weight before getting pregnant and am short and bottom-heavy in general, so generally just do not feel cute right now and don’t want to buy a lot of clothes if I can avoid it.
I feel like I’m searching for a unicorn…where can I find plus-size black maternity tights? Not pantyhose, not footless leggings, but regular thick black tights with a foot. I was a solid size 16 pre-pregnancy, and have gained a good bit of weight, so I’m probably a pregnancy 18 or 2X now or an E or F on a hosiery size chart. Any leads???
Ugh, gastro has been going around nursery and we got a 445 call that kiddo had been sick. So much for weekend plans. Is this a 48 hour thing normally? We’ve made it until 4 without a stomach bug so a new ballgame for us.
I am 11 weeks pregnant with my second kid and feeling pretty down on my body. I am pretty visibly pregnant already but not ready to share that news with most people, so just feeling awkward and wearing loose clothes to try and conceal it. With my first pregnancy, I was active and exercising and felt really strong and cute but don’t have as much time for that now. Is this common? Any suggestions?
