Every time I replace my mascara, I’m tempted to test a new one. Here’s one I’m excited to try next!
Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Lengthening Mascara has a unique fanning brush for full and long lashes without clumps. This formula is infused with rose hip oil and mineral pigments that won’t weigh down your lashes. Although I prefer washable mascaras, this one also comes in waterproof.
This mascara is $9.99 at Target.

I guess I have $60 in rewards at PBK and affiliated brands that will expire in a couple days. What would you buy? We already have the hooded towel and duffel bag. Don’t need any more bedding stuff or room decor
the other week someone posted something about a high back booster/seat belt positioner that folds up small that is good for travel. i recall it being about $199, but can’t remember what it was.
Question for the moms who spend a lot of time in the pool, how do you keep your hair healthy and clean all summer?
My kid loves for us to get in the pool with him which I’m fine with, but my hair is going to suffer. It’s not colored or chemically treated but I generally follow cgm and try not to wash frequently. Other than a co wash, is there something out there specifically for post-pool hair.
Driving to the beach next weekend with an 18 month old. What’s the best way to keep her occupied without screens? We’ve done a few drives and she either sleeps or gets bored and starts screaming. We listen to music she likes, give her books to play with, and a stuffed animal or two, but the books and animals are thrown quickly then she’s screaming for the rest of the trip. We already stop every hour or so.
My daughter turns 1 in early July, and I’ve started getting asked for birthday present suggestions. Any ideas? I need more expensive ideas for the grandparents so they don’t buy a ton of gifts and stuff more in the $20 to $30 range for friends.
Small 5th grade graduation gift ideas for a boy who I don’t know much about? My kindergartner has a 5th grade buddy who has been so great to him (buddy goes out of his way to say hi and “boo’d” my kiddo for Halloween even though that wasn’t part of his buddy responsibilities). I’d like to get him a small something as a thank you, but my kid doesn’t know his buddy’s interests.
Hope any other Houston area readers were ok with Thursday’s storm. We were fortunately fine, but I still have a number of colleagues without power
Happy Monday! I just ran out of gas, for the first time in my life, in front of the turnoff for work and daycare. Easily remedied, but basically everyone I know saw my very distinctive car on the shoulder. Embarrassing but fixable mistakes FTW!
We did it, y’all! We hosted a 3.5 hour bday party for my 8 year old and 7 of his loud and active friends at a trampoline/bowling/arcades/ropes course place. No one was injured or upset and I am so proud of my kid for holding it together despite all the activity and stimulation. And the best part for the other parents was that it was a drop off (and a bar for those who stayed) ;)
Lots of praise for his second grade teacher. Wrangling 20 7-8 year olds all day is a skill I definitely don’t have.
How do I fly with a newly 4 year old and an 18-month old? We’re flying 3 hours direct to Vermont, where my parents could pick us up from the airport with car seats for a week long stay. I’m pretty safety conservative. Do the kids near car seats for the plane? 18 month old will have her own seat, and she is very wiggly. Do we bring strollers to the airport or plan for my parents to bring? 4 year old is an average walker, so I’m thinking we could just do an umbrella stroller in the airport for 18 month old?
Anyone else reading the stuff out there criticizing millennial parenting and feeling like they just can’t win?
8 Year old (who does have an ADHD diagnosis) struggles with emotional regulation, particularly in the case when they feel they are being ‘wronged’. So like, coach is doing drills in a round robin and skips kiddo or another kiddo? Kid gets really upset. It’s an outsized sense of justice, if that makes sense.
We’re working on all the things, putting all the tools in the toolbox. Well, after reading about how it’s because parents of young kids are simultaneously disconnected and hovering, and that apparently high schoolers can’t read… I feel like it’s impossible to do it ‘right’. I mean, the handout I have from the behavioral therapist kiddo started working with says that parents of young kids should avoid putting them in distressing situations and also that kids often struggle with emotional regulation if their parents have helped them to externally regulate and they haven’t had to self regulate enough.
Like… then what is the answer? I know it’s ‘know your kid’ because what works for Kid #2 doesn’t work for Kid #1. I feel just utterly defeated by trying to help my kid.
I just saw the post on the weekend thread about swim lessons. I agree with the posters about most kids not actually learning to swim until they are 5-6-7 years old. However, I think there is benefit to a child having basic skills to get themselves out of a pool if they were to jump/fall in. We’ve been doing swim lessons at our YMCA for 2 years now (kid is 5.5 now). Can she swim independently? No. Could she get herself out if she were to jump or fall in? Maybe, but I like her chances better with having done it hundreds of times in swim class. Our kid has never hesitated to go in the water without a parent for lessons, but I’ve seen a lot that do have issues. Does the YMCA have open swim? Ours has open swim multiple times a week. Take him to open swim where you can be in the water with him just to expose him to it with you holding him. The folks at the YMCA always recommend this to anyone that is having issues with the kids not wanting to go without their parents.
