I would have preferred Gap’s CashSoft sweaters as a kid over the itchy ones I had to wear.
Made from Gap’s popular super-soft yarn, this relaxed fit sweater is cold weather-ready and available in five patterns/colors. Your child will reach for it as soon as it comes off the drying rack.
Kids’ CashSoft Crewneck Sweater is on sale for $29 (marked down from $49.95) and comes in sizes XS (4/5) to XXL (14/16).

I chatted with other mom friends about their jobs, and it’s interesting to hear what they say. One was like, “I feel so needed at my job. I love to feel needed!” Another was like, “I do 30 minutes of remote work a day and can spend my free time baking. It’s easy and great.”
I just love the contrast and how honest they were. What kind of unvarnished insights do your mom friends say about their jobs that kind of surprise you?
Do you encourage your kids to reciprocate party invites? I feel like we have a real imbalance in terms of whose parties we go to and who we host at ours and I’m not sure if I need to encourage or require my kids to reciprocate more. Its mostly a matter of different friends from different activities (church, sports, school). We get invited to all these friends’ parties but my kids only want school friends at theirs. Im of two minds about this: (1) it’s their party, they should invite who they want to invite (as long as they are discreet, which they always are since the non-invited kids are not in school), but on the other hand, (2) friendships go both ways, and we can’t just take without also giving. What do you do?
Does anyone know of any brands other than Abercrombie that make long lengths in boys’ pants? I know slim size jeans exist, mostly looking for soft pants.
I have a sweet 7 year old son who struggles sometimes with physical aggression. This had been limited to the home environment (mostly fighting with his sibling and taking play wrestling too far), but has now started happening with other boys at recess. We got a call from the assistant principal this week and feel like the school is doing a good job talking about it with him (and the other kids), but of course we want to reinforce the message at home. This all feels very tied up in boundaries and consent, which are concepts I very much want to prioritize for the future adult man I am raising. Have you all found good resources in navigating these situations?
Speaking of PTO fundraisers… our school is selling Thanksgiving pie. I bought 2 pies, told my local parents to buy a pie and made an additional cash donation so I thought we’d done our part, but I got texts yesterday from my daughter’s violin teacher and basketball coach asking about the pie sale and how they could purchase. Apparently my daughter is going around telling everyone she’s ever met that her school is selling “the most amazing pies” even though she’s never tried one! So even if you feel like opting out of these fundraisers your kids may opt you in. (The class that sells the most pies gets a pie party, which is obviously what’s motivated her to be such an enthusiastic seller haha)
Two other ideas i forgot to mention yesterday – one that is probably not quite as relevant for a Title I school, but Minted has a code you can use when ordering and they will give back. And then no one likes community service more than high schoolers at a private high school trying to get into selective colleges. I’ve heard of groups ‘adopting’ an elementary school and raise funds for them etc.
There’s no way I’d buy kid clothing that has special washing instructions. I’m sure I’m just lazy, but it’s not worth it to me. There are plenty of cute options that are machine wash and tumble dry.
