I’ve been circling this product for a few weeks, and think I’m going to order it soon. When I first saw a photo, I was confused. Is it a keyboard holder? Then I read further to see that it sits on your desk above your keyboard as a mini desktop whiteboard that you can take notes on and use for storage. There are so many instances at work when I’m on the phone and quickly need to take down a phone number or when I need to remind myself to do something — and keeping track of notes written on post-its has become its own organizational task. With this, I can quickly jot down information and then go back later and write it in the right file or remember to do something. I just got a wider desk in my office and am looking forward to using this! It is $26.95 at Quartet.com. Glass Dry-Erase Desktop Computer PadsSales of note for 9.10.24

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
For people with multiple kids & pregnant with another, did your kids ever get strangely clingy? I’m still in my first trimester and we haven’t told anyone yet.
My older kid (almost 4) has been crying and whiny for me and acting super jealous of their sibling. This behavior apparently only happens when I’m around- they act normally otherwise. They’ve been sick lately so that might have something to do with it… I’ve definitely been more tired lately and spending a bit less time with them, but we have extended family and a long time nanny so I don’t think they’re suffering from no attention.
Basically, looking to understand if this is something normal with prek kids and a pregnant mom, even if they haven’t been told or if it’s something else?
Suggestions for helping to make Christmas fun/special while on the road? We are flying to visit my parents next week with our kids, who are 5 and 18 months. Christmas morning will be at an AirBnb, with plans to see the extended family later in the day (my folks are not in great health and have limited mobility). We’ll have access to a kitchen and can make…something, but what? And given luggage limitations, our kids’ gifts will be at our house and waiting for us to return on the 26th. I am worried this is all going to be kind of sad and depressing. Any ideas on how to make Christmas morning fun when it really won’t feel very Christmasy?
I have the glass dry erase board and LOVE it!
What are some fun, easy ideas for a 3 year old birthday party? I’ve been googling, but this board’s ideas are always so much better than a listicle.
can someone just remind me that it is ok i ended up stepping away from law, will never have a career as prestigious as my former top ivy league law school classmates who are now making partner in big law and will never earn even close to as much money. as a type A former high achiever with two ivy league degrees who thought she would have a ‘big’ career, who instead has ended up as more of the spouse supporting DH’s career sometimes i feel like i have failed my two toddler daughters and am setting a bad example for them because i am the primary parent
Sleep regression help — do regressions come and go? My fourteen week old slept consistently through the night from eight weeks on, then had about ten days of horrible sleep around weeks 12-13. Then snapped back to sleeping ten hour sstraight for four nights and is now back to waking five times a night. No illness that we spotted, nothing new in his environment or routine (though I suppose when you’re that age, every day is new). So do regressions come and go like that? And did anyone else have the four-month come early? I was assuming that’s what had happened since he sttn early too, but this latest twist has me confused. I’m thinking not a growth spurt as he will soothe without being fed, but maybe I’m wrong about that….help.
Like many others, we are traveling this holiday season. My 22-month-old has been out of the crib and in a twin bed for about 6 months (she’s… incredibly, incredibly tall. Over 3 feet already). It works at home, because her room is completey child-proofed, but I’m not sure what to do when we visit my parents!
My mom has a large walk-in closet with slatted doors. Am I a monster if we clear out the bottom row of clothes, put a twin mattress and a nightlight in there, and put her to bed in there? (with my husband and I sleeping in the master bedroom). It seems easier to childproof that than the entire bedroom, and plenty of peopel convert their master closet to a nursery, right? The only other option I can think of is a bed tent (I’ve seen a few on the river site) to go around a twin mattress. She can hike a leg over the side of a pack and play and fall to her doom, so that’s out, unfortunately. My eldest slept in a pack n play while traveling through 3 years old, so I can’t draw off of that experience.
