Family Friday: Hanna Andersson Kids’ Pajamas

This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Based on holiday cards from friends and family, I’m a bit late to the matching pajama party. My daughter, who still adores her baby brother (for now), asked for matching sister/brother pajamas for Christmas. Done. I’ve always liked the cheery colors and hand-me-down quality of Hanna Andersson’s kids’ clothes, and they currently have a wide range of babies’, kids’, and grown-ups’ holiday pajamas to outfit the whole family.

Some scream Christmas more than others. I chose a subtle green plaid pattern that would look great on Christmas morning but still fresh in February. Right now, all pajamas are on sale starting at $29.

The pictured pajamas are $29.00–$35.00 Hanna Andersson Pajamas

I am late to this one, but if you are white and haven’t read White Fragility, go do it. It is short, concise and hard-hitting. (And yes I’ve seen the argument that we should be reading black writers on this topic, and I agree, but this is a good starting point and white people need to hold other white people accountable).

Nanny taxes… do we pay them?? Hiring our first nanny now. She is already getting SS so she implied she prefers cash. I am nervous! Even my boss (we’re in law) pays his nanny cash. Google is of course saying we MUST. Thoughts? We will be paying vacation, sick leave etc.

Re: jams: Bought the fir tree hanna pjs this year!

You know what I hate? When people who sell stuff try to talk me out of buying the expensive offering for a cheaper one. Guess what, I’m a nearly 40 year old intelligent professional. I know X costs more than Y. I still want X. Do you not like selling the things you offer?

Magazine recommendations for preschoolers (3 and 5)? My mom wants to get our kids a new subscription. We currently get High Five, Ladybug, and Click. They LOVE High Five, are bored by Ladybug (too many one-page songs/poems), and mostly enjoy Click although it’s a little old for them. They like animal facts, crafts, and longer stories.

Am I overreacting? I got a babysitter last night from 7-9PM. We’ve used her for months; kiddo loves her. When we arrived home last night there was a glass of whiskey out on the counter. We keep our whiskey on a shelf that you need a ladder to reach. We will lock it up next time, I suppose, but how would you address this with her? The first time she babysat I said “help yourself to anything in the fridge” – was I being unclear that liquor is not included? I feel like I shouldn’t have to instruct her not to drink on the job but I guess I do. It’s mostly a “should I hire her again if she thought this was ok.”

Hey everyone! I think it was this board where someone was asking if anyone had info from their doctor about pregnancy and the Covid-19 vaccine. Currently pregnant and went to my OBGYN yesterday. She said that she doesn’t currently have enough information about the Covid-19 vaccine to recommend getting it during pregnancy and wants more data before recommending it to any of her pregnant patients. She also thought it may end up not being recommended for pregnant women in the long-term. In terms of breastfeeding– she said she was not aware of any reason that the vaccine would not be safe while breastfeeding and that it may actually be recommended during breast feeding to give the baby some immunity.

*I’m not a doctor and recommend asking your own OBGYN about these issues but thought this information might be helpful to those that were asking.

Ugh I’ve started snoring recently (I think it’s allergies) and it’s bothering my husband’s sleep. I also have a messed up insurance situation at the moment and can’t see a doctor until January. Any home remedy suggestions?

Any suggestions on how to work on taking turns with an only child 3 year old? We’ve been trying to use the dog as someone she needs to take turns with, but it’s not really working. I – perhaps naively – assumed this wouldn’t be a big deal since she’s in daycare, but it’s now becoming clear that she’s behind her peers on this and I worry that soon it’s going to start really affecting her ability to make and keep friends. I know it’s at least to some degree personality (she’s extremely strong-willed and very rigid about the order in which things should go, so she really struggles with things being “out of order”) but would appreciate any suggestions on things we can do.

I’m sure this has been discussed before, but what are y’all doing for stress reduction these days? So many of my go-tos are not things I’m comfortable with right now–my usual plan of taking a day off work, keeping child care, getting a massage then reading a book in a coffee shop is basically impossible. (Even if parts are possible, I don’t think I’d be able to relax in the same way) I’m not opposed to throwing some money at it, but I’m out of ideas.

I have tried meditation apps with mixed results (the sleep meditations are great, but a lot of the ones for stress just seem so ridiculous), I am begrudgingly exercising, I am still a walking ball of stress.

I’ll vouch for the longevity of the HA pajamas. We first bought them 3 years ago, and they are in constant rotation year-round. We donate the smallest set and buy one new one for the oldest kid when needed… I think the set that my youngest is now wearing is what we originally bought for the oldest, and it looks as good as new.

What site do you recommend for picture holiday cards? Bonus if it’s got a solid coupon code right now, or is budget friendly. One year, I used Amazon photos of all places, and it turned out pretty good, but I think they might not have that service anymore.

Also, what is your process for addresses? I keep all mine in a word document set up to print on labels and update them right inside the document. I prefer that to using excel and uploading for the site to print on the envelope because I am not quite good enough at excel to do that.

I love Hanna’s pjs and just bought some new ones for my older kid (which will then be handed down) at their 50% off sale. The quality is great and they look cute (and my 4.5 year old says that they’re very comfortable!)

On another note, this came up late yesterday but what is the rationale for shutting down playgrounds (part of CA’s recent order)? Are they really that risky if everyone is in masks, outside, generally socially distancing? These can’t possibly be as big a driver for the increased hospitalization rates as indoor dining, bars, etc., where people inevitably get unmasked and expose others. Is this just doing something for the sake of appearances or am I missing something?

I need advice on how to support (parent) friends from my child’s school. They have twins and one was recently diagnosed as on the spectrum. The school can’t support him and he can’t have a support person due to their covid restrictions.

Parenting in a pandemic is stressful. twins even more so. And now this. I reach out to them, we’ve offered to watch their other son while they’re in therapy. But is there something more? Should I be getting them dinner? I know they’re under so much stress right now.
