Budding fashionista? These boots are a stylish way to step into fall.
The boots have a pull tab and zippers for easy on and off (the laces are just decorative), cushioned insoles, and lug traction outsoles. I know my oldest would especially like the glitter trim. They’d be equally cute with both jeans and dresses.
Skechers Kids’ Street Glitz Boot is $54.95 at Zappos and comes in Little and Big Kid sizes 11 to 6.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to store Legos for older kids? My 10-year-old has a bunch of sets for Minecraft and Super Mario constructions and keeps all the boxes and our basement is just a Lego mess. Thank you!
Is it normal for a 6 year old to not be able to take any responsibility for mistakes? My 6 year old has shown a lot of emotional growth and increased maturity in the last year, but she still has a really hard time owning up to any mistakes. It doesn’t matter how big or small the issue is, it’s always someone else’s fault. Milk was spilled because Mommy put the cup too close to the edge, toy got broken because we didn’t give her enough reminders to pick it up off the floor, etc. We got a recent note from teacher that she got in trouble for laughing and talking at rest time, and claimed that another kid had “made” her talk. (For Friends fans, it’s very big Ross Geller “I was tricked into ALL THOSE THINGS” energy). We’ve had a lot of conversations about this and how the lack of responsibility is more concerning to us than the initial mistake or bad behavior, but we don’t seem to be getting through to her.
Anyone have a quote or phrases that would be appropriate for my 6.5 year old about not comparing / being the best version of yourself / being grateful etc? I’ve got a 1st grader who notices everything everyone is – who’s in the gifted program, who dresses the best, who has the best toys/house, who is the best artist, who the teachers like the best. She’s JUST like me and unfortunately not like my son and husband who are oblivious to the comparison trap. I’ve had to work really hard as an adult to not have comparison be the thief of joy and I want to help her. We talk frequently about the things that make her special and how they may not be as noticed externally, how being the best version of ourselves is all that we can do, how it feels good to celebrate others gifts rather than be swallowed up by jealousy. I think it helps her and I know shes working on it, but any other tips this amazing group has would be great to hear as well. I’d love to frame a nice quote for her as I believe it will be relevant her whole life.
Happy Friday! Can we do funny/weird parenting wins?
DH and I both went to bed at the same time as the kids yesterday, because we were tired but also sick of LO not staying in her bed, so we turned out all the lights and went to bed. Turned out to be a great choice because LO stayed in bed, but also the other kiddo was sick half the night so the early bedtime is making today feasible! AND said sick kiddo largely made it to the toilet for every round of throw up, for the first time ever. I cannot believe the difference it makes for cleaning up/time! It is perhaps the grossest milestone but idgaf, it made my life so much easier!
Funny kid moment of the week- my 7 year old came home yesterday and happily told us about a “taco” she tried at lunch, with lettuce ! My husband is from the Southwest, and we serve tacos at least once a month, every time during which she has told us she doesn’t like them. But now she does!
Speaking of shoes — does anyone have flats they like? Ballet-ish. I had an ancient pair from Banana Republic that finally died this year. Nothing too $$ — I keep them at work as my emergency fallback shoes.
For a cheaper alternative, my kid loves the Cat and Jack sparkly ugg knockoffs. They last just long enough for her to outgrow them, which is fine by me. The product name is Holland if you are searching.
These are cute but the last time I got sketchers boots for my daughter (also sparkly) they disintegrated after like like 2-3 wears. They were still functional but the decorative parts all developed literal holes. Another pair of slip on sketchers she had developed a similar problem and all the glitter fell off. I basically won’t buy them anymore.
