My oldest wants her own suitcase — I’m secretly thrilled because I’m hoping I won’t have to haul her stuff anymore.
Here’s a hard-sided spinner that she will be delighted with now and not embarrassed by in a few years. This suitcase is made of water-resistant acrylic and lined with recycled polyester. The three interior pockets hold plenty of clothes, shoes, and even a laptop. You can even monogram it to make it special.
Pottery Barn Kids’ Hard-Sided Spinner Luggage is $169.50 for a small and $199.50 for a large. In addition to blush, it also comes in indigo (large only).

Y’all I did the thing yesterday! I revamped my resume, called a former colleague to ask for a resume review and see if she had any job leads, and responded to some recruiters. All during naptime. I had been putting off calling the colleague because it had been so long since we worked together, but she was so helpful and understanding.
I rarely use my carry-on rolly these days. I prefer to just check one bigger bag with all our stuff, and travel lightly through the airport. I know this is controversial, but I think European airports are better at getting bags out on the belt quickly. By the time we clear passport control, our bags are there.
I fly 2x a week but on very small planes and I hate having to wrangle bags into the overhead bin.
Random Friday question- I have two kids, and the youngest, age 4, gets a lot of attention from strangers. She’s always been a little ray of sunshine, and people react to that- latest example was when boarding a plane, the flight attendant got everyone to cheer and clap for her as she walked to her seat, and let her use the microphone to say goodbye to everyone while deplaning. I will note that my oldest, age 6, was walking right in front of her, and right behind her, but did not get the same attention. This is not the first time stuff like this has happened- on the one hand it’s sweet for my youngest but I HATE that it pushes my oldest to the side. We try to downplay it when it happens (move the conversation to both girls when someone is gushing over the youngest, try to involve the oldest as quickly as we can). I’m not sure how else to handle it or if we should be doing something else- I don’t want either of them to feel slighted but I obviously can’t control strangers, particularly when they’re just trying to be nice.
Y’all were not lying about age three. So hard. any quick tips on getting through long tantrums?
Piggy-backing off of the conversation yesterday about a household manager/organizer for 5-10 hrs per week: This sounds like exactly what I need!! Can anyone who has hired someone like this let us know what your job description said? What did you ask for?
As anyone here used a doula? What was your experience?
18 weeks with no 2 and would like to have a more positive birth experience this time around. Wondering if getting outside support is the way…
i know earlier this week we discussed evenings, but talk to me about your mornings. while i still have time to worry about this, next year kids have to be in their seats at 7:20am for K, whereas this morning, we woke up at 7 and struggled to make it out of the house by 8:40 for pre-k. i have twin girls and one can get herself dressed (and put on her own shoes), but the other one can’t (she is in OT) and neither can do their own hair.
Low stakes question. So this pick made reminded me. Does anyone else worry about personalized backpacks and suitcases for their kids in airports? Every time I travel and see a small kids with their name stamped large on their back, I always get concerned someone might try to lure them away from their parents. Or maybe I’m just worry too much?
I was definitely in the “stranger danger” era growing up. I know airports are pretty secure as it is. My kid is still pretty small, but personally I feel like I’d avoid making their name super noticeable in public places. Maybe I’m just missing the pro, where hypothetically it could make them easier to locate if they wander off?
Okay, I hit a fence yesterday in my nine year old car and broke a headlight. This seems like a sign that it’s time for a new car (my car’s been driving me nuts and needing work more recently). BUT there’s an electric car I’d like to get down the road… in like two years. So I need something to last for about two years. I could lease or buy – I’m leaning towards buying used and my budget is around $35,000. We have a suburban and an Atlas that our nanny drives and that we take on weekends when we have all our kids. Can be a sedan, can be an SUV… what would you get? I realize this is VERY open ended, but I’m not a car person! Give me some inspiration!
So you all were not joking about the fury of age 3. It’s so hard. Any quick tips for long tantrums?
