Family Friday: Glow-in-the-Dark Scene T-shirts

I like holiday-wear that is not over-the-top (insert holiday) so that my kids can wear it long after the decorations are gone and the parties are over.
These fun glow-in-the-dark long-sleeved shirts from Mini Boden are perfect for dusky autumn evenings before and after Halloween. One features an applique cat with a night sky and a rainbow (I’d love to see that IRL), and the other, several forest animals and the moon.
These comfy shirts are made with 100% cotton for easy wear and care. They’re perfect for layering as the days and nights get colder.
The Cat T-shirt is $32 and available in sizes 2–3y to 8–9y (larger sizes sold out). The Brilliant Blue Animals shirt is $28 and available in sizes 2–3y to 11–12y.

- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
What do you pack for snack/lunch for your kids? It’s getting challenging without a microwave, and I won’t do a thermos bc it would mean packing lunches in the am.

I solo parent my 1 year old on Saturdays because husband works. He is an active child and loves people, so he does super well at daycare during the week but it has become very clear that he’s so bored (and cranky!!) at home with only me on Saturdays. Any ideas on things to do with a 1 year old that is stimulating enough for him but won’t wear me out completely? He doesn’t walk or stand unsupported on his own yet…
We went apple picking last saturday and he LOVED it but it depleted me completely.
My first work time away (7 days this time, 3-4 going forward) went really really well. Everyone at the new job was amazing and one of my colleagues and her partner took me on a tour of the city and showed me the best brunch, coffee, donut shop. We FaceTimed while we ate our dinners each night.
T and husband were champs, it was pretty mellow (mother in law came for the weekend) and our reunion was so sweet, I got the longest, full body cuddle when I got him out of the car and a “I missed you and love you lovely mummy”. I’m heading in to the city for a meeting today and springing him early from nursery to go get a scoop of ice cream (like 65 degrees and rainy but we are vegan ice cream enthusiasts despite the weather).
Any suggestions or tips for shopping or styling from my closet for family photos? I’m don’t mind buying new outfits for the kids because they need new clothes constantly, but I’m trying to pare down my wardrobe and when I looked at it recently, I feel like I’ve already worn every dress or skirt or sweater at a previous photo session.
My husband, too, has worn one of two sweaters for every family photo.
Maybe it really doesn’t matter?
My mood today (just listen to the first 30 seconds).

My just turned 3-year-old’s preschool teacher is telling us that he is refusing to nap or quietly lay down on his mat during their daily naptime. I definitely understand that it is disruptive to the classroom for him to do this and want to do what I can to help, but I’m not sure what that is. Unfortunately, I’m not surprised by this info as he often refuses to nap or stay in his room for quiet time at home and has done so for several months. My husband and I talk to him about listening and being quiet during nap, but I don’t think he really understands the connection between what we’re saying and how he’s acting. The teacher has been very kind about it and is willing to work on this together. I suggested she let him quietly look at books on his mat, which sometimes works at home. We do try to put him down at home at the same time as school nap. I will say the school naptime seems rather long to me- 12:00-2:30 pm- especially if he’s not actually sleeping. Any suggestions on how else my husband and I might work on this with our son?
How do I teach my 6yo to put on his socks? He can get himself dressed with everything else but socks are a continuous struggle. He struggles to get them over his toes. Then pulls them up and they are inevitably twisted. Whatever I’ve tried isn’t working, I would love some different approaches.
Our daycare just implemented a policy that if anyone in the household tests positive for COVID the child has to stay out for 20 days. Is this a normal thing now? FTM in this crazy time so not sure what other daycares policies are. I know daycares have struggled a lot over the last 2 years and are just trying to stay open too.
What’s a good mask rec for new 2 year olds? We tried a kids disposable one and it was huge. Looking for something lightweight and sized for a smaller face! Crayola? thanks ladies.
What’s the right age for a pinata at a birthday party? We’re hosting our son’s birthday in a couple of weeks and I’m wondering if 2/3 year-olds are too young.
DH and I recently bought a house. My parents generously offered to buy a swing set for the kids. We were planning on using our current furniture for the guest room and then buying new furniture for us for the primary bedroom..,but of course my in-laws offered to furnish the guest room. I realize that it is totally a first world problem, but we seriously have like no other furniture (moving from an apartment) and it is the one room we have furniture for
Any recs for high waisted jeggings that don’t have super aggressive whiskering? I ordered some recently from JCrew Factory, and the fit was perfect, but the whiskering was like very stark lines that framed my crotch and it felt weird. My existing jeans have whiskering but it’s more subtle.
Straight sizes and 5-8, if that impacts your recs.
My 8 month old twins both have a cold. One is just sad and snuggly and the other screams like a mountain lion instead of sleeping. We’re on sick day 5 for twin A and sick day 2 for twin B. I’m staring down a long weekend with my 4 year old, whom I love dearly but I don’t think he’ll be thrilled to be quarantined at home all weekend. I’m exhausted and ready for this to be over. Will you cheer me up with a cute things your kid(s) did?
Menu ideas, please! We are having 2 families over for movie night outside this weekend. 6 adults, 7 kids ages 3.5-9. Kids are all good eaters.
I was thinking chili (one spicy and one more mild), mac and cheese, cornbread but am having second thoughts about chili outside, and also not sure the kids will eat the chili at all (which is fine, nobody died eating mac and cheese and cornbread!).
BBQ pulled pork, mac and cheese, [some veg?]? With hot dogs available as a back-up for the kids? Need more food for this suggestion. Maybe a good slaw? Kale?
Oktobefest-ish dinner of sausages (on rolls), soft pretzels, [some kind of veg??]
Other ideas? I’m over burgers & dogs. We are in New England where it is fall and lovely out. Friends are bringing dessert which I can almost guarantee will be apple in nature :)
