I am in love with this scarf — including the interesting combination of the geometric shapes and the almost watercolor effect in the elements of the design. I chose the more colorful version to picture here, but I also really like the gray/black/white option. (There are also florals and other prints.)
It has a ton of positive reviews at Nordstrom — but do note that while some customers say it’s much smaller than in the images, it’s because they haven’t unfolded it completely. Apparently, the layers really stick together when it’s folded.
The scarf is 40% off, which brings it down from $99 to $59.40. Note that because the fabric is silk and cashmere, dry cleaning is recommended. Eyelash-Trim Print Cashmere & Silk Wrap

Cool… I also love this scarf… Thanks for sharing
Does anyone have a light up or reflective vest for their kids? The 6 – 9 crowd on our block like to play out in the front yards (masked) in the afternoon / evening, which now starts at like 4 pm. I can just get a random one online but thought the moms on here might have a better targeted recommendation.
Has anyone done Outschool classes with an old 2 year old/young 3 year old? My 2.75 year old looooves to dance, but all the dance classes in our area for children are indoors and do not have any kind of mask requirement, so I don’t feel very comfortable sending her (especially mid-surge) and I was wondering if Outschool might be good. I think she’s getting to the point where she can stay reasonably engaged with the screen and follow directions from an adult even over the computer.
Two questions – can anyone recommend a good toddler scooter that is less pricey than the micro mini? Second, best helmet? Thank you for any suggestions.
We’re preparing to move cross country, which will involve driving ~12 hours with our 24 mo toddler. Should we try to do the trip in one shot, maybe starting around midday so that we take advantage of naptime and bedtime? Or should we take two days and spread it out? Toddler is generally a decent traveler/ flexible kid, but about as high-energy as they come…
My 4.5yo has recently developed an interest in workbooks, sticker books, etc. So far she’s enjoyed a book of easy mazes (“My First Mazes” from Target, highly recommend), some dot-to-dots, a Peppa Pig preschool activity book, and an alphabet sticker book.
Do you have any specific links/recs for this type of thing? Assume she is a very average preschooler — she definitely can’t read, she’s still figuring out lowercase letters, etc.
Who do you use for Christmas cards?
Reposting since I was in m0d for most of yesterday. Thank you to the kind people who responded late in the day. :)
Hi all, long time reader of the regular s ite, first time over here! I found out on Friday that I’m pregnant. Turns out it wasn’t just the election drama making me queasy! I spent the weekend alternating between complete freakouts and moments of elation. My situation is a bit complicated…
I’m 41. I sort of always knew that I wanted a child in the abstract sense, but I was never the person who goes crazy about newborns. I even considered having a child on my own in my late 30s but never acted on it. I have been dating a guy long distance since the winter (although we’ve known each other for several years). Long distance during COVID has of course been a challenge, but we’ve been able to see each other a couple of times per month. And, apparently the last time resulted in this…ooops. We’ve talked about having a child before and we both agreed that we sort of were leaning towards wanting one (but I knew time was kinda running out for me) but we never talked about having one together. So, even though I am feeling freaked out, I’m also thinking this is my one chance to have a child. (Not having it is not an option for me at this time.)
I haven’t told him yet (I’ve only known since Friday night). I’m being a total chicken. In my mind, I would be totally fine raising this bebe (said in a Moira Rose voice) on my own, but I’m pretty sure he’s going to want to be involved. But I can’t work where he lives, so he would have to move to my state (which he has expressed an interest in before). I just feel so apprehensive about how much I’m about to change his life. And I’m not even 100% I want to marry him or anything (I know it’s not needed). He’s a very good guy, but this level of commitment? Oh boy. Not ready for that.
Any advice for the first trimester? Or for co-parenting with someone you’ve only dated for a short time (whether you remain together or not)? I’m only 4 weeks in so it’s very early. Have my first prenatal appt booked for week 7. Am already taking prenatals. Feeling pretty OK other than fatigue (lots of naps now thanks to WFH).
Thank you for letting me vent over my anxiety!
Has anyone’s school district with in person schooling done random COVID testing of students and staff?
My district is supposed to implement random testing of 20% of students and staff in order to stay open (elementary are in full-ish time, hybrid for middle and high schools). I am not opposed though some in the community are vehemently and vocally opposed. I would, however, like to better understand how the testing is reflective of the community spread. Does anyone have any info? Thanks!
Any tips for speeding up feeding an infant? I have 3 month twins and feeding them takes forever. They nurse for about 10-15 minutes and then it takes them 30-40 to finish a bottle. They are growing well and we’re trying to get them to eat more and sleep longer but I feel like I spend all my time feeding them!
Best convertible carseat? Safety is really my only consideration but it’s so hard to find any information about which one is actually safest. What do y’all have?
For those of you with multiple kids, where one when having a tantrum does benefit from having an adult close by/hugs vs. being left all alone, how do you handle when you are solo parenting? I do a lot of solo parenting and have 2.5 year old twins and one is more tantrum prone, but it’s so hard to attend to both of their needs at the same time
Does anyone regularly wear scarves as accessories? I like the look, but I have never felt like I can wear it naturally. Is there some kind of trick, or do I just need to commit and own it?
My toddler has a huge head — any recommendations for shirts with wide necks, or snaps? We’re moving out of the onesies with envelope necks phase.
