I made a purchase at Sephora recently and had enough points to get the free little gift. A group of Briogeo products were the ones I selected. My favorite of the bunch was this deep conditioning mask. After my shower, my hair felt silky and was much easier to brush and style. I think this product would be great if you’re feeling like you need a reset on your hair, or if you’ve been out at the beach/pool/camping. My only pet peeve is the packaging… it’s so hard to unscrew the cap, scoop out the product, and recap it with slippery hands! Otherwise, this conditioner really worked well for me. It is $36 for 8 oz. at Sephora. Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask

This was discussed briefly last week but I wanted to put out a specific request. Does anyone have recommendations for masks that fit toddlers? Both my kids (2 and 4) have small-ish heads, and most of the kids’ masks I see say things like “4 and up,” which makes me think they are going to be way too big.
Happy Monday everyone! I just wanted to celebrate the fact that we successfully sleep trained our 10mo this weekend (Ferber). Middle of the night wake up on the first night was awful, but after that he got it. I feel so much better after 2 successive full nights of sleeps. He’s also napping independently in his crib which is a huge improvement in quality of life for our family.
Favorite brands for toddlers/kids with long torsos? My daughter’s 4T shirts are now too short, but otherwise fit. I’m a fan of Cat & Jack clothes, but the length just isn’t working for us.
I am a high school teacher in a very rural, conservative area. From what I am hearing, I am getting the feeling that we are just going back to school as normal at the beginning of August with no masks. Students will have an elearning option is they want to stay home. I live in a state where school funding is given by the state on a per-student enrolled basis and parents have complete school choice, so I suspect the policies are being shaped by funding issues (ie. elearning caters to people worried about safety, school building caters to people who think its a hoax–we have weak union protections, so teacher safety is not prioritized).
I am also worried about sanitization because currently, we don’t have enough cleaning staff because we pay cleaning people 50% less than the low-wage jobs in the area. For instance, no one ever washes desks or tables in our room because we don’t have the staff for it. Apparently, the biggest change they are thinking about is having water refilling stations instead of drinking fountains.
I don’t know what the right option is for schools because they all seem bad, but I think I had just mentally gotten to the point where I felt that going back to school as normal, but wearing masks would be okay with me. But apparently masks aren’t even up for debate–it’s just a hard no from administration.
I’ve been reading all the comments on here regarding school, so I thought I’d share what is going on in one part of the country.
Does any one have good systems for au pairs/nannies to communicate things like groceries we’re out of (ie: care taker uses last of the sandwich bread, so she adds it to a grocery list), one-off appointments or other things on the daily calendar care taker should be aware of (ie: heads up, they’re spraying for mosquitoes today, DD has a pedi appt today), etc?
In 100% of the situations where I buy a white board for organization, it always fails to be used. This is the first time with a full-time caretaker on our home and need to figure out some systems that will help with communication around these things. She’s young/techy and uses Google Docs. Maybe just set up something in there? Would love to know what others do.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted answers to my question last week about transitioning to sippy cups for my 12.5 month old. We’ve decided to go back to bottles for another two weeks and then reevaluate. It’s more important to me and my husband that our baby is getting the nutrition from milk than the container he drinks it out of.
Good morning,
Frivolous question. What hair color do you use for at home coloring? I’ve been doing my grey roots at home since the pandemic started. I used Revlon Root Erase-it’s okay. Now I’m thinking to adventure myself and start coloring my hair at home. I absolutely loved the professional hair color they used at my salon but it’s not available for purchase in stores or online.
Thanks.
I sent my kid back to daycare today. I am feeling simultaneously relieved and guilty. I felt like DD’s needs were not being met, even with a part-time sitter. She was constantly getting shoved into her “little sister” role and was definitely not getting enough age-appropriate activities unless I planned them and supervised them. And I was long past the breaking point of trying to manage being a preschool teacher + full-time worker. But I still feel guilty for using group care during a pandemic. :( Older kid is still at home … we will see how this pans out.
Does anyone else feel like we’re not going to shut down again, no matter how many people die?
Did someone post on here about camping mats they liked for family camping? Looking for something for my husband. We have three small kids, one of whom is still in a crib/pack n play so probably less in the picture. What has worked for you all? TIA!
i know everyone has to do what they are comfortable with, but my colleague’s son and dil had a baby 2 weeks ago and during our team calls when she mentions how they bring the baby to these indoor gatherings of 20 family members, i get panicky just thinking about it and it isn’t even my child! the new grandma has not really been social distancing (has been to restaurants, and is about to get on a plane with a stop to go visit an elderly relative). we live in a state that has been in the news lately with cases/hospitalizations rising daily. i know generally kids have been ok, but yes, i am judging this person’s judgment as a parent and my colleague’s judgment as a grandparent/parent and makes me anxious for when we return to the office. [there is no point to my post other than venting]
+1 x 1,000,000.
How the Governor has gutted what the local officials in the bigger, blue cities are able to do is terrible. Also in a blue city in TX, and it breaks my heart seeing what local officials are trying to do with 0 support from the Governor and thus 0 way to enforce. Also how the Governor speaks out of both sides of his mouth is not only wrong but deeply confusing I think for folks – “Let’s re-open! But wear masks and social distance! But I’m not going to mandate anything!”
i know people on here are huge fans of Daniel Tiger. Was watching this weekend with my toddler and kiddo wanted to know why DT and DT’s dad only wear shirts and not pants, but DT’s mom does and when DT goes swimming he wears a bathing suit or in the snow he wears snow pants. He also wanted to know why Miss Elaina has “Miss” in front of her name, since that is something usually used for adults or teachers. Kiddo switched to a new topic before I could answer, but I expect the questions to come up again, so any suggested answers?
