Accessory Tuesday: Linked Gemstone Necklace
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
I’ve been slowly adding some color to my mostly gold and silver jewelry collection. Here’s a delicate necklace from Mejuri that has that subtle pop of color I’m looking for.
This linked gemstone necklace features two interlocking rings — one in 14k gold and the other red jasper. (It’s also available in black onyx; green aventurine is sold out.) The adjustable gold chain is 16 to 18 inches, which works for most necklines. Wear it alone or layered with other pieces you already own.
The Linked Gemstone Necklace is $500 at Mejuri.

For the person remodeling a bathroom- try googling kitchen or bathroom designers in your city (they are also usually interior decorators). You can usually see the kind of work they’ve done on their website, and chat with them about their style. For ours we paid a flat fee of I think $2500 and it was SO worth it. She sourced every single thing in our bathroom at the price point we wanted, gave us options for everything (within the basic style I showed her, and not too many so it wasn’t overwhelming), worked with the contractor, fixed things that didn’t work in the space, made sure the measurements were right, etc.
Just a vent about how much I hate making photo books….I do it as a gift for my mom and I know it means a lot to her. But man, it is such a pain in the A. And I’m perpetually behind, which means I never really get a proper break from it. My kid turned 4 in February and I’m still finishing up the age 3 album and in a few months I have to start all over again for age 4.
Any advice on encouraging my 5.5 year old to keep her hair out of her face? I just got a message from her kindergarten teacher that she got playdough stuck in her hair (sigh). Similar issues have happened at aftercare where she does a lot of art and craft projects. She loves her long hair and has rejected my suggestions of even a trim (I used to cut her bangs at home, not very well, but they’ve since grown out and she’s never had a real haircut). My hairstyling skills only extend to basic braids/ponytail/pigtails, and she used to like those, plus fun barrettes, but for about a year has been rejecting all styling – only brushing, which she is good about. I want to respect her preferences about her hair, but I also want to teach her that part of caring for long hair is getting it out of your face! Is this something I just lay down the law about and require that hair be tied/clipped back for school? (We did require a ponytail or braid for swim lessons this summer which she was ok with). Any suggestions for headbands/hair ties/something else (??) that she might be able to handle on her own? She can kind of do barrettes herself but can’t make a ponytail. Hair is fine, with a little wave. Thanks!
Hopefully a fun question – Any favorite music to listen to with your toddlers? We somehow just discovered Laurie Berkner and it made for such a great car ride to daycare this morning.
Could someone give me a primer on music lessons for kids? I’d like to have my daughter take piano lessons eventually. I don’t know what age would make sense for her to start and what I should be looking for in instruction. I didn’t take anything music related as a kid (something I regret! Adult lessons are on my list once I can find the time…), so I’m coming in blind.
At what age did folks start their kids on piano? Is this something done all year or shorter sessions throughout the year? Are weekly lessons the common frequency? Are lessons typically in a group vs. one on one (and is one preferred when someone is just starting out)?
My husband often takes our dog with him when he drops off our kid at daycare (not inside the building, of course, but the kids are normally outside and can see the dog). Last week she pooped right in front of the kids to the great amusement of a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds. Today the dog didn’t, ahem, perform, and one of the boys led the class in a chant of “We! Want! The! Poop! Give! Us! The! Poop!” 4 year olds man….
Are there any warm blankies or blanket-alternatives that you love for a newborn bucket carseat? We need things for both cool autumn (around freezing temps) and cold winters (snow).Kiddo will be mostly crawling, maybe starting to walk, but still a little guy.
Tips on hiring a good babysitter? We never had a babysitter due to covid concerns, then we were going to move so didn’t want to invest in finding a good fit. Now we’ve moved and would like to find a few babysitters. We have a 2 year old and a baby on the way.
Questions to ask? What services should I use for background checks? Should we spend a few sessions having them stay over while me or DH is around? Thanks!
HELP! My 4.5 year old is giving me the business. It has been going on, ebbing and flowing, for a few months now.
With me, he’s whiny, clingy, acts out, etc. There are times where everything feels like a battle – this morning his the button on his collar was “too tight” and caused tears when I did it, but fine when DH fixed it. The container of banana bread was “too heavy” etc. Everything causes whining and then some meltdown; sometimes distractions work but I feel like it’s not addressing the behavior. Food always helps, but I don’t think it’s just hunger.
It’s exhausting to navigate and also takes away from me interacting with DS #2, practicing words, etc. I offer DS #1 space (e.g. “Go upstairs and play with X “) but he always wants to be like right next to me and/or his brother. This morning I told DS #1, “ENOUGH! NO MORE OF THIS BEHAVIOR!” and explained that it’s okay to be frustrated, but it’s not okay to always behave like this, that it’s not fair to DS #2, etc. That seemed to snap him out of it, but I welcome advice.
Also, I’m not a “gentle parent” so I’m fine to take a harder approach, I’m just not sure what would work and I’d prefer not to yell because a) DS #1 will cry and b) it wears me out.
did anyone read the article in the Atlantic about redshirting the boys? i know this is a hot topic and where i live red shirting is rampant starting with May birthdays. I was talking to a friend whose son has a bday on May 20th and she informed me she is holding him back a year, and I asked if that was what his teachers suggested. She said no, but that he was technically due in June (like June 3rd), and she is giving him the gift of time. The way the article was written really rubbed me the wrong way and basically suggests that boys should all start school a year later than girls.
Good morning! I posted yesterday about my 6 yo starting to see a counselor / LSW for behavior issues. Thank you so much for all of the helpful responses. My child for sure meets the definition of “spicy” haha. I have one more question now – are conversations between counselors or therapists and six yr olds typically confidential? Our counselor told us that everything my daughter says to her during their sessions will be confidential with the only exceptions being information that is is a danger to herself or others. If my daughter tells her she can share with us she will, but otherwise, we won’t be hearing about what’s going on in their sessions or what my daughter says. This seems odd to me and is making me uncomfortable just because she is so little and I don’t really know this person. Is this normal?
