Here’s a product that may make the hectic fall season a little easier. I am an extremely visual person and like to see everything I have going on for the month in relationship to each other. If I know I have two busy weekends in a row, I’ll try (if it’s at all within my control) to make it a more low-key week. Or I can anticipate where I need some extra childcare based on what my husband and I have going on. For older kids, random half days, theme days, school plays, etc., all can be seen right there on the fridge. I also think writing out the whole month at the beginning of each month gives me a sense of organization and control. This calendar is $18.42 at Amazon and is eligible for Prime.

Thank you so much for your support!
This is not at all high tech, but a magnetic month calendar on the fridge is how we track everything in our house too. I have everything on my phone calendar as well, but the house calendar is where we make sure we’re not double booking ourselves.

Has anyone had a negative pregnancy test at the time their period was due but ended up being pregnant?
My period is very regular. On day 29 I had a big spot of blood, so I put in a tampon. 6 hours later the tampon was dry. I wore a pad all night and there was no more blood in the morning. I’ve had and continue to have lots of cramping and bloating and a little b00b tenderness. I have never had this spotting when my period is due, when I start to bleed my period gets pretty heavy pretty quick, and I never spot between periods.
So anyway, I took a test this morning (day 30) and it was negative. However, it wasn’t really my first pee. I had a big pee at 4:30 am, then took the test at 6:30/7 with a smaller pee.
With my first and only pregnancy, I waited until my period was 1 week late (day 35) and took the test, which was positive.

Alright, you ladies who are much more fashionable and hip than me. Family pictures are in one month. What should we wear? Family is me, hubby, and almost-four year old. Family pictures coincide with her four year old pictures. Thank you!

I know it’s only August, but my mom has asked me 3 times already what to buy my 4.5 year old for Christmas. Any ideas? She enjoys buying a “big” gift, meaning $75-150 and something he’ll play with for more than 5 minutes. It doesn’t have to be “big” in the sense of taking up a lot of space (and I’d really prefer it didn’t). The thing is, I feel like my kid has all the “big” toys kids play with from 3-4, and I have no idea what 5-year-olds play with.

Train set? Legos? Soccer net? T-Ball set?
Chewing on crib

My one year old has left teeth marks all over his crib rail. I’ve just been ignoring it because it seems developmentally normal and hard to avoid. Is that right? Or was I supposed to somehow cover the rail to prevent this? (Here’s hoping the finish is non toxic, ha.)

PSA: browsing the Nordy website today and seeing a bunch of anni sale stuff I bought now 40% off (that’s more than the anni sale). A couple of Vince items I shelled out a lot for. Ugh. Maybe somebody else can benefit from my mis-purchase!
