When the temperatures dip, I wear these scoop-neck tees on repeat.
I’m well on my way to nearly a dozen of these HeatTech shirts — the soft, stretchy fabric keeps you warm and dry by keeping heat in and wicking moisture away. The seamless scoop-neck neckline works under almost any top for invisible warmth. I’ve had several of these for years and they’re still going strong.
Uniqlo’s HeatTech Scoop-Neck Long-Sleeve T-Shirt is $19.90. It comes in sizes XS–XXL and six neutral colors.

Looking for ideas for my 2-yo to give to her daycare friends for Valentine’s Day. We completely dropped the ball on this last year, and she was the only one in her class who didn’t bring in anything for her friends…I don’t remember what all she brought home except for the plastic junk that she insists on keeping in the trunk of her little ride on car, but I remember it was a LOT from each classmate. It honestly seemed like overkill for a bunch of then-1-yos. Maybe something consumable?
DH and I have recently acknowledged that we need some help around the house, but we’re stuck on what will actually help us. I’ve hired a cleaning service in the past, and while it’s nice, we already have a good system around for cleaning. I really would like help with random projects around the house (hanging frames, building/moving furniture, decor stuff, installing closets, purging old baby clothes, organizing kitchen cabinets). Is there some broad job description that would cover these? What services do you pay for that make your lives significantly easier?
Does anyone want to commiserate with me on job hunting? I turned down the job that was 5 days a week in office with no remote possibility and a one hour (minimum) commute each way. This morning that same recruiter called me with a hybrid role: they tell you the night before whether you need to be in office the next day or not. I laughed and said I have three young kids: I’m soooo not interested in that kind of a job. I have 12 years of industry experience AND my role is data-centric, so I don’t think I’m completely out of touch for wanting to WFH at least two days a week! I know part of it is my industry but I’m wondering when they’re going to wake up and smell the coffee that no one wants these kinds of roles.
I’m so embarrassed. I just got a big dose of the ‘ADHD Tax’ and/or ‘Overworked Mom’ tax.
Short version – husband has always carried insurance for him + kids, I’ve carried my own. Because of weird circumstances, his insurance lapsed and I was able to quickly add the three of them on to my insurance. This was last spring. Well, it took a couple months to sort out but… I just pulled them off my insurance.
I’m absolutely mortified with how much I’ve spent in premiums. Every month I would think, ‘Oh! You need to do that!’ but just… after working so much and parenting so much, I would remember at 11PM on a Wednesday and not do it. So. Don’t be me. Do the paperwork so you too don’t pay the (actual cash money) price.
I caved and signed up for Thistle, a vegan meal service (not meal kit). I’ve been getting 3-4 lunches per week, 2-3 dinners, 1-2 breakfasts and 3-4 snacks, so on the days I go into the office, I bring a Thistle lunch and snack with me. The lunches are generally salads but always have some kind of grain, interesting sauce, sometimes tofu. The snacks are really delicious and treat-like. I’m not vegan but don’t miss dairy when I eat these meals.
What are you all bringing to work for lunch these days? (other than leftovers)
My go-tos are a yogurt bowl (greek yogurt with sunflower seeds, walnuts, honey, and blueberries) and those prepackaged “salad kits” from trader joes. And of course an “adult” PBJ (it is adult not because it is x-rated but because it is made on bread with “TOO MANY SEEDS, MAMA!”) made while also scrambling to put together the kids’ lunches.
What’s a nice care package for a second pregnancy? It’s for my sister in law, she signed me up for bumpbox when I was pregnant, so I’d like to do something kind of similar but not identical, maybe making my own care package. She’s also got severe morning sickness, so if there’s any home remedies that I can throw in there too, let me know!
my twins are in prek and will be starting k next year at the local public school. the school has an event that takes place one friday during school hours next month when kids and parents can visit the school (DH and I have already attended a parent only tour). my kids LOVE school currently, get very upset if they have to miss school for being sick, etc. they know they are going to K next year and at a different school, but some their school continues through 5th grade so some kids will be staying on. DH and I can’t decide whether or not to take them to this event because the next school year is still 6+ months away and they can be worriers and so idk what the benefit of them visiting so far in advance is? thoughts?
