My youngest is still obsessed with dinosaurs. If you have a little dino lover in your house, consider this cute hoodie and pants set for fall.
The front zip hoodie has colorful spikes along the hood, back, and sides. The pants also have spikes as well as an elastic waist and functional drawstring. Made from a comfy (and easy care) cotton blend, this set will keep your little dino warm and snug through fall and beyond.
This sweatset is $41 or $45, depending on the size. It’s available at Nordstrom and comes in sizes 2-3Y to 6 to 7Y.

I am a paper to-do-list kind of woman. I have always just jotted things down as they came to mind, and I have never successfully transitioned to a phone-based to do list application. I have a toddler whose main meltdown topic right now is mom holding a pen that she can’t hold and obviously a notebook she can’t play with is also terrible. I’m a lawyer, so sometimes what I need to jot down is, like, a few complete sentences, not just a word.
I realize this is such a minor and silly question, but does anyone have any tips? I can’t just not write down things when I think of them, or I lose the thought, but being screamed at while I’m jotting the notes is … less than pleasant. This is probably not a quality or quantity of time issue (I work 20 hours a week, mostly while she’s sleeping or at the park with her dad, and she has my full attention the rest of the day). She shares really well with other kids, but mom having something that isn’t for sharing is terrible. (We both have wallets so she can bring her wallet while I bring my wallet, for example). I mostly love that she’s so into mimicking mom (she tries to fold laundry while I’m doing it!), but it’s non-functional in this area.
Just wait it out? I don’t really want to give a toddler her own a pen and paper every time I need to jot something down, but maybe that’s the solution…
We are finally painting our upstairs after living in this house for almost seven years. The previous owners painted the rooms various shades of “newborn poop,” so this is long overdue. I have ZERO design skills…can anyone help with some possible colors? For our room and the kids’ room we are looking for something pretty neutral, maybe a light gray? And for the guest room a dark blue (it’s a super dark room). Upstairs molding is white, floors are dark-ish wood. The whole downstairs is Benjamin Moore Simply White (downstairs molding is all dark wood; it’s a Craftsman house) and we are gonna that leave as-is.
I will 100% go get samples of anything you recommend and paint giant swatches on the wall just like they do on design blogs!!
Thinking of the person whose second grader was having a tough time being separated from their friends — I hope the first few days have been better than expected!
