Prompted by the sabbatical poster above and a co-worker who’s taking the entire month of July off, I’m curious if you’ve taken a big chunk of time off if you thought it was worth it? I’ve always been team “frequent vacations > long vacations” but I’ve been rethinking that lately and wondering if several weeks off in a row would be more restorative.
Camp appreciation post! I know figuring out camps is hard but this morning I was SO HAPPY to send my grumpy six year old off to bike camp where she will be outside exercising all day and come home happy instead of me trying to figure out what to do with my kids all day.
I know that my vacation plans are the least of the world’s problems, but DH has a sabbatical and i managed to hoard a month’s worth of vacation so we could spend time in the northeast with our families and escape the 100+ degree summers where we live and with the air quality issues from the wildfires i feel like we are barely going to be outside anymore on our trip than we can at home and I’m so disappointed. We’ve been planning this trip for 2 years
Can anyone recommend books about transitioning to kinder? My son has been at his child care since he was 4 months old. He is really struggling with leaving, which I understand! I appreciate any recs you have!
I wouldn’t be annoyed but I would think it was a bit odd, but perhaps that is because I have a 4 year old. I also tend to stash some paper and a small pack of crayons in my bag at all times as a just in case entertainment option so I always appreciate those small packs of crayons for that purpose. If you wanted to do something slightly different you could do those stackable crayons.
Shopping help? I’m looking for a sweater blazer or ponte blazer or similar (I just want some stretch) that is a light color to top dark neutrals (navy and black). I think because it is to top dark neutrals it probably needs a dark thread in it maybe as part of a tweed like pattern? Anyone seen anything like this? My back up plan is to get a camel color sweater blazer and use that. I think Quince and JCrew have those so I’m looking for something more interesting than that, if it exists.
If I’m giving out coloring books as a party favor, do I also need to give something to color with? Kids are 5. Personally, I don’t need more crayons/markers/etc. at this point and wouldn’t expect to use the coloring book out and about, but I don’t want to skip something to color with if parents will be annoyed. Trying to pick a favor that isn’t just more junk, but don’t want to make it annoying in another way!
We’ve purchased this sunhat 5 times because it keeps getting claimed. Our kids started by stealing ours, even though it’s oversized–they love wearing it to keep the sun off, so we ordered copies for them. Then my FIL fell in love with it after borrowing mine at a soccer game. I ordered him one. My dad wanted one. My husband claimed mine.
