Eyeshadow palettes like this one make great stocking stuffers for the makeup lover in your life.
This palette from Jason Wu Beauty has 25 richly pigmented matte and shimmery shades you can build and blend for countless looks. The warm, neutral shades work with a range of skin tones and eye shapes. Unlike with most palettes, I can see myself trying every one of these beautiful colors.

Can any of you who have done it talk me through your experiences of divorce with a toddler? After a very happy and long relationship, ai cannot believe I am thinking about this, but I am trying to think through some practicalities.
We have shared bank accounts, credit cards, mortgage, etc. (see “very happy” above). I know I need to get a consultation with a lawyer. But anything I pay for (lawyer, apartment deposit, etc.), will become readily apparent. Because I know this will come up: I am not afraid or anything but I want to keep my thinking private while I think things through. We have been so happy for so long, and I am so tired of my husband’s depression and its effects and his insistence that he’s fine that I am just all over the place.
The most important thing is, after telling your spouse you want to divorce, what happens practically with living arrangements and child custody? I am not going anywhere or doing anything without my child, and this is immutable. The thing is, I suspect he’ll feel the same way. So, what happens here? Thisnseems mind-bogglingly difficult to figure out. Thank you all for your stories, advice, and thoughts!
Can we have a book thread? What books are you and/or your kids really loving these days? I try to do a fair bit of reading in front of fireplaces over break, and I need to load up the kids’ Kindles (6 and 8) for our flight out west at the end of the week.
Some fun reads of mine this year (some of which I may have gotten on here!): the Truly Devious series (YA mystery), Garth Nix’s Booksellers series (fantasy-ish), the new Richard Osman mystery, Prophet (creepy scifi), The God of the Woods (thriller-ish). Would definitely be interested in well-written recent romance recs, I feel like I’ve been striking out there.
The kids have enjoyed the Roar series, all the Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels, the new Animorphs graphic novels, and the 6yo liked the Isadora Moon series.
When did you get your daughter her first haircut? My 15 month old has a decent amount of hair, and it is all growing forward and covers her eyes. As a result, I always put the middle section back in a ponytail. (It kind of looks like a troll.). But she never wants to sit still for her hair to be done. I’m starting to wonder if it would be better to just have it cut so I could leave it down.
Does anyone happen to have screen-free suggestions for introducing coding basics to first and second graders? I googled but the results are kind of overwhelming so I’d love a personal rec.
Anyone have a favorite ipad app for practicing multiplication tables?
Do we have any folks here who have been through OIT or who know folks who have? I’d like to hear experiences of what the time and logistical considerations actually were. Our allergist has framed our treatment plan as “years, not months,” but most of that will hopefully be spent in a maintenance phase.
Would also appreciate hearing about any unexpected costs and any other advice you may have. If relevant, the kid will be beginning OIT around 3. We are definitely doing it, but I’d like to make sure we’re prepared for the commitment.
why must every restaurant have multiple TVs in it? took my kid out to dinner last night and tvs everywhere. it is horrible!!! i understand the idea of a sports bar, but these are not that.
My 9 year old (4th grade) just learned how to use email in her school technology account and now she’s begging us to let her email her friends. We’re hesitant to give her a regular email address and let her have at it, and I think we could connect her school email to our family hub account and manage it but that seems annoying. She’s our oldest so she’s the guinea pig for family technology values and practices. Anyone want to share their best practices and experiences with kids and email?
What do you get for before/aftercare ‘teachers’? There are about 6 FT staff for ours, but then a dozen or so rotating cast of HS students who help. So the first year my kid was in K I asked for the full list of staff and ended up having to buy 20 Starbucks gift cards. Last year I just gifted a tin of candy or cookies or something but I feel like they must get so much of that. I was considering putting together a gift basket with a bunch of different stuff (including like lip gloss and face masks, for the teen girls) and then realized in the end that’s probably more than $100 so maybe I should just go back to the gift cards.
Anyone else feel like modern parenting of an infant is a constant tension between wanting your spouse to use their phone less while the baby is awake but you can’t really talk because you’re on the phone all the time too? Yes, as my husband says, we do need to look a lot of stuff up right now and I know he’s genuinely doing that, but Jesus, I’m sick of this addiction in both of us.
