I saw this brand on Instagram and thought it was a great idea — coconut oil-based skincare for kids. My son has sensitive skin, just like me. When he was a newborn, he didn’t have that fresh newborn skin, and I frequently used coconut oil straight from the jar to soothe it. I like how these are washes, moisturizers, and balms that are non-drying and for sensitive skin. They are even refillable, to cut down on plastic waste. This set, called “The Whole Gang,” has one of each of the brand’s products. It is $60 and available on lovebubbsi.com. Kids’ Skincare Set

I’m looking for something to send my 4 year old nephew and 6 year old niece while they are shutdown (in KS). They are active bouncy balls and will be cooped up with dad all day (mom works at a hospital AND is in remission, which seems like a fantastic combination). My kids are not active bouncy balls, so the things I would usually think of (legos, arts and crafts) won’t really occupy them. Any ideas? All I’ve thought of is a marble run…
I’m only 12 weeks pregnant, but the news yesterday that a number of NYC hospitals are banning support people (ALL support people, including spouses and doulas) from L&D and recovery has shaken me to my core. I am not an anxious person by nature and think I’ve been coping pretty well with the uncertainty of this entire situation, but I am on the verge of having panic attacks at the thought of not having my husband with me when I give birth and afterward. My hospital is “baby-friendly” (ugh) so there is no nursery, and with my first I felt like I was unsafely exhausted taking care of my newborn even WITH my husband there. And I really needed his support during labor too. I’m not in NYC and I really really hope that by the time I’m due in the fall, things will have improved, but I am seriously considering looking into homebirth now (definitely not my preferred option otherwise) because of the anxiety this is causing me. Is anyone else in a similar boat?
I’m in house counsel. Yesterday I learned that due to market losses, my company won’t be investing in the area that’s my primary (read: sole) focus for the foreseeable future (although foreseeable future might be two weeks right now – who knows?) This read as a potentially temporary thing. I’m also home with three young kids with a DH who’s WFH. So getting very little work done anyways (which hasn’t mattered bc we’re slow).
DH advised me to go ahead and call my supervisor right now to say I’m happy to work on other lines of business. I think that kind of goes without saying, but I trust him on this sort of thing – and men are so much less passive. Thoughts? I’d also be happy moving to part-time. I probably have 2 days worth of work covering existing projects, but definitely don’t know that I have a point to the organization if we stop investing in this area. I’ve always been nervous about the fact that my position is project-based. This isn’t the type of org that lays people off (they have enough to pay me and not worry about it) but this is a weird time.
Any advice?
It all makes me super nervous. Also my job is a unicorn. So job searching isn’t sounding so appealing right now.
Can we do a gratitudes thread?
Me:
-That I was home yesterday to see the baby crawl for the first time.
-That my immune-concerning (apparently the thing that is less scary than immunocompromised) kiddo was able to get through his first flu season just fine and finally got his shot
-That Skinceuticals exists
-That I feel entirely safe in my home and with everyone in it. Someone I know is not so lucky.
-For the people who continue to deliver our diapers, catfood, groceries, etc., and that we can comfortably triple their tips. At least it makes me feel better about paying someone to take risks I’m not willing to take myself.
