My sister’s birthday is coming up — she wanted “fancy” skincare products so I sent her this set from Tatcha.
I’ve loved all the Tatcha products I’ve tried so far, including the set’s Dewy Skin Cream. These skin essentials also include their Rice Wash and Dewy Serum. Use them all together for soft, glowy skin. Ingredients include dermatologist-favorite hyaluronic acid as well as Okinawa algae and other Japanese ingredients.
This set is also a “Clean at Sephora” product free of certain ingredients potentially harmful to you and the environment.
Tatcha’s Dewy Skin Essentials Set is $82 at Sephora.

Random but to AwayEmily and anyone else looking for little kid board games – Monopoly Jr. has been a hit with my kids (6 and 4), and it’s not annoying for the parents either! There is some reading, but my 6 year old is able to read those cards with some help from us, and we managed a few games altogether over the weekend (there was one incident of the 4 year old throwing the game over in frustration – oops).
Inspired, slightly, by the bad kid gifts thread, I have to ask the hive what TF to do with my husband’s babyhood cradle (yes, actual cradle) that my ILs brought to us when they visited. It’s cute and sturdy and just the right height for having baby right at our bedside, but also just the right height for our large, inquisitive, dirty Lab to get his face into, so I’m not sure it’ll work as baby’s primary sleeping spot. Beyond that, I have no ideas for how to use it, except as another place to put baby elsewhere in the house. Any other ideas?
Cross posting from the main site:
While validating my kid’s recently issued passports, I realized that one of them HAS THE WRONG BIRTH DATE. I panicked and pulled up the application I submitted and the correct date is listed there. I checked the birth certificate and IT HAS THE WRONG BIRTH DATE listed.
Current situation is I have a few rounds of international travel planned and one child with a passport and birth certificate with the wrong freaking birth date. This kid was an uneventful scheduled c-section, so there’s no chance I’m losing my mind.
What do I do?? To add to the fun, I don’t live local to the state where the birth certificate was issued, so showing up in person isn’t an option. The first round of travel is within three months and the second in six months so I’m not super optimistic that any of this can be sorted in time. Do I just roll with it for now and fix it later? Fix it never? What would y’all do in this situation?
My husband has been getting frustrated with our 3-yo’s meltdowns lately. Kid is curious and fun but can be pretty stubborn when he doesn’t want to do something. I feel like it’s probably normal for a (young) 3 year old to be 50/50 on new activities, but it’s really making my husband feel bad. For example, we took our kid to the Udvar-Hazy Center (a Smithsonian museum in an airplane hangar with a ton of old planes and space things) and our kid was into it for about 10 minutes before completely melting down (like lying on the floor refusing to move). I had kind of expected it to happen, so I just rolled with it and got him excited to go back to the car by talking about what kind of music we would listen to. But DH was really disappointed that our kid didn’t want to see the planes and stuff with him, and it spiraled into a worry that our kid has behavioral issues. What are y’all’s thoughts?
Any moms of 4 kids here? I would be really interested to hear about your experience and decision making. My plan had been to stop at 3 and my youngest just turned one and I just don’t feel “done”… but not sure if I ever would?
Moms who are one and done… do you ever feel inferior because you don’t have two kids? Like, you “can’t handle” more than one so you’re less than? 95% of the time, I feel confident in my one and done decision. But then I see someone who has the same education (like we went to the same college and law school) similar level of local family support, lives in the same city (so same cost of living/life/commute logistics), and feel that I should be able to handle it because they are able handle it. And that’s where the doubt creeps in.
Moms of elementary school bookworms! Help me out! I have a very strong reader who is in 3rd grade. We need book recs of all types- she’s a very strong reader but doesn’t necessarily need books at the top of her reading ability, just long and can engage her.
We’ve done all the classics (Cleary, Dahl, babysitters club, those kinds of books) but are looking for newer series or long chapter books that she can work on for a few days instead of zipping through them.
She’s liked the “I survived” series, Emily Windsnap books, and we are far enough along in Harry Potter that we read them together so we can discuss what’s happening as it happens. She’s read the entire Series of Unfortunate Events and the Penderwick files series and liked them but I think would like a bit more variety.
She could read, but I don’t like them for her yet, the Percy Jackson books.
We’ve asked the librarian and gotten some of the above as successions in the past. Her teacher….was not super helpful.
ISO books that talk about the meaning(s) if fatherhood? Open to most types: religious or woke, prose or poetry, just looking for something with depth beyond stale cliches.
My period is late (about a week). Over the weekend I took a pregnancy test and was thrilled that it was positive! I have no idea why I did this, but a couple of hours later I took another and that was negative. Then the next morning I had a negative test. I ordered some of the strips as I was using digital tests prior so I haven’t taken one yet today. What does this mean? I still haven’t gotten a period and am definitely feeling some of the typical early symptoms (mostly nausea, but also mild cramping). I figure I should just call my doctor but wanted to see if others had similar anecdotes and what the outcome was.
someone last week suggested a thread of ridiculous/funny/annoying grandparent gifts and i could use a thread like that on this post-day light savings monday. (yesterday was torture in our house), so please share your stories!
shockingly i dont have anything too egregious to share, other than grandparents purchasing things for my 1 year old twins that are for age 4+. as a kid, i remember my dad getting super super annoyed when my grandmother bought me an easter themed snow globe bc it was purple (my favorite color), even though our family was and still is very very jewish. my grandmother was jewish too, she just liked to buy things at the hallmark store
Regular poster, but still not even sure I want to out myself here with this… but we are taking the first steps with our IVF clinic to try for a 3rd. There are still plenty of hoops to get through – PGT, and then the actual transfer(s) etc, but we are excited. It is the point where I’m starting to feel like 2 is manageable, we have a routine down so why not send it all back into chaos again?
Seriously tho, reading about AwayEmily and others who have made it work inspires me. Very few senior women at my company have more than 1 or 2, so I’m slightly terrified but also have thought a lot through the pandemic about how in the end, family really is what you have, a job is just a job and I want to have that big family around the table in 25 years at Thanksgiving.
Anyway, squealing with excitement inside now that we have our appointment booked.
Who here has a regular family meeting with their spouse/partner? If so, how do you make the magic happen? Do you have a set agenda that you go through? I would like to get into the habit. While we don’t have to deal with the multiple kids activities/who’s picking up who/etc. just yet, I want to get into the habit of sitting down to talk about the upcoming week and seasons. DH isn’t unwilling per se, but I know it feels like “Another thing to do.” TIA.
Anyone have friends they really like, but those friends have kids that your kids do not? We have a great neighbor, but her daughter is just not that nice to my kids- teases them, tell them she hates the things they like, tries to control all playtime, etc. Her mom tries to correct her in the moment but I think generally lets the daughter be in charge all the time at home. I’m trying to limit the times the kids see each other but still preserve my friendship, but I was kind of upset this weekend after hearing some of the stuff the daughter said to my kids- I’m mad at myself too for not paying more attention so I could have stepped in. My husband thinks it doesn’t rise to the level of saying anything, and I think he’s right for now, but if they want to hang out again, would you keep making vague excuses, or be frank?
We’ve been looking for a nanny for our 9 month old and found someone who seems like a great fit. There are two issues that are making me hesitate though. The nanny has a daughter in kindergarten and picks her up from school everyday. Our daughter would go with her and wait in the car in the pickup line for 45 minutes. I feel like this is ok but not sure. Also, her daughter would then spend the remaining hour and a half at our house. Our daughter loves people and the two were already playing together during the interview. I chose the nanny route partly to avoid all the daycare germs, would the kindergartener coming over everyday ruin that? She did say her daughter would stay with grandparents if sick and she would wear a mask in our house until her daughter was better. The baby somehow has avoided any illnesses so far but I know that’s not going to last forever (and shouldn’t). All the news about kids sick with flu/rsv and the hospitals being full is making me nervous though. Would you move forward with this person if you liked everything else about them? Thank you!
