I’ve said it before — we’re fans of light-up sneakers in our family, and I love these rose gold sneakers! They’re so techy/futuristic, and I haven’t seen the blue lights before or this shiny rose gold. That will be a stylin’ kid, that’s all I’m going to say. These are $58 at Nordstrom in toddler, little kid, and big kid sizes. Energy Lights Metallic High Top Sneaker

Bagels for sure. I think adults would appreciate a breakfast sandwich type thing with eggs but bagels are a good minimalist compromise. Oh and coffee!
thanks. i should have mentioend that we are vegetarian but it sounds like light brunch food is indicated. my husband seems to think cake is adequate but i will veto that. of course since i’ll be traveling for work that week getting in the night before it will actually be on him to implement.
We went to a 2nd birthday party in the morning that had a tray full of egg mcmuffins for the adults – it was totally unexpected and awesome.
we are hosting a third birthday party for my daughter at a local museum. 10-11 AM we have a room for eating etc., and then the kids play in the museum as long as they like. so we can only provide food 10-11. the museum does not have a cafe or anything where food can be picked up later.
what kind of food and drink are we supposed to provide to kids/adults other than cake? 10AM is not really a mealtime but if people stay to play for more than a half hour or so it will be lunchtime. we are just getting started on the party years so not sure what people do.
Congrats! I had all day/everyday sickness for the first 14 weeks. Standard advice is carbs and ginger stuff, but nothing really helped mine. They can prescribe diclegis (which is unisom+b6) or zofran for more severe nausea. I ended up just gutting it out and losing 5lbs, but have a perfectly healthy baby. The good news is that morning sickness is a good sign of a healthy pregnancy!
I got a positive pregnancy test this morning! It’s our first and we are really excited. However, I have been having really bad nausea since before I even got the positive test. Any suggestions on what worked for you? I’m not throwing up, but I certainly feel hungover and gross. It makes it hard to concentrate at work.
You won’t be able to feel the teeth or see them until the worst is over. Have you tried Tylenol?
HALP! I have a 24-week old. We got hit hard by the 4 month sleep regression (prior sleeping 8 + 4; after waking up every 1.5 hours). We were on the road to recovery and doing great for 2.5 weeks starting right around 5 months with putting him down drowsy but awake. He would fall off to sleep and wake up 4-5 hours later to eat. Just when I thought my only issue was dealing with the night feedings a new issue has emerged. For the past week he has been inconsolably crying at sometime in the night –sometimes right at bed time, sometimes 45 minutes after falling asleep, sometimes after three hours of being asleep. Nothing stops the crying except for nursing–which I used as a last resort. Even so I nursed last night and he was screaming 10 minutes later and inexplicably settled an hour later, then slept for 5 + 4. I don’t feel teeth coming in/doesn’t seem to need to be burped…. Mostly happy during the day, but a little fussier than normal and according to the caregiver is crying at naptimes every now and then. Any ideas or similar experiences?
On the topic of kid shoes, I’m curious about your favorites for kids. Here’s what I’ve loved and hated:
Natives – Perfect summer shoes for toddlers. I feel ridiculous paying almost $40 for a glorified Croc, but they’ve been worth it. Especially right now, when we’re still having a lot of potty training accidents. Hose ’em down and be done with it.
Keens – These are the only sandals my son can’t destroy. He ends up wearing them well into the fall, sometimes with socks.
Stride Rite – I’ve had many pairs of SRs that I’ve liked and the durability is generally good. Some styles run a little bit wide for my daughter with skinny feet, but the Mary Jane sneakers are so stinking cute with leggings.
Sketchers – Hate them! I’ve bought them 2-3 times because the styles are cute, but I’m done. They aren’t durable and look absolutely terrible within weeks. I’ve literally thrown away 3 pairs of Sketchers.
New Balance – I’ve bought their toddler sneaks for both kids and have been happy with the quality.
Oshkosh/Carter’s – For dress shoes that get worn a few times a month, these do the job.
Nike – Good for my kid with skinny feet, but absolutely don’t fit my other kid who has wide feet. My biggest gripe is that the quality is all over the place.
Teva – Haven’t owned a pair in a few years, but I remember being pretty happy with their sandals for toddlers.
In general, I’ve had a really hard time finding good athletic shoes/running shoes for my 7-year-old boy. The best ones were Asics; the rest have fallen apart. He’s a toe dragger and has wide feet, hence my love of Keens.
My sibling and I are 3.5 years apart and it was and is so great! Not so close together as to be possessive of toys or later friends (as my spouse and his sibling, 2 years apart, were in high school). Close enough together to be friends. We are hoping for similar spacing with our kids (2 year old now).
At first I totally thought Kat posted these as fun mom weekend shoes, not kid shoes. I want them!
Can we talk about these shoes? Hilarious and amazing.
Expecting baby #2 in December and the kids will be almost 3 years apart (2 months shy of three years). Can anyone speak to me about a 3 year age gap? Pros and Cons? I wanted to potty train DS before the new baby arrived but so far he is just not interested. Also worried a bit about sibling rivalry in the short term and long term
