Organizing Thursday: Makeup Palette Organizer

Right now, my makeup is scattered among several different boxes and bins. This organizer may help tame the chaos.
This spacious organizer has several compartments that are the perfect shape and size for brushes, lipsticks, and palettes. It looks nice enough to display on your countertop and doesn’t take up too much valuable real estate.
I’d use it for the makeup MVPs that I reach for everyday.
STORi’s makeup organizer is $14.99 on Amazon.

- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
My vaccinated 5yo was exposed last week (Thursday) and got a fever last night. He was pcr tested on Tuesday and we are awaiting results (and for younger sib). No question. Just sharing our experience (I find it helpful when you all do so).
More Sleep Would Be Nice posted a fascinating article which resulted in a looooong, late thread yesterday and I’d love to keep it going today. I don’t even know what I’m looking for, I guess just a continued conversation about parenting and partnership and outside supports. And smart, amazing women sharing their struggles.
I’m always torn because I have the bigger job, but I also have the bigger desire to be the primary parent. I think I went into my marriage more aware than some of what our partnership would look like- we married in our 30s and he already had nieces and nephews so had opinions about what kind of dad he wanted/wants to be.

If you successfully use a ok-to-wake alarm/light, how did you teach your toddler?
We got a hatch light for Christmas, it turn blue at 6 am. Two year old usually wakes up at 05:30. He is in a crib with the front removed but he never gets out of bed on his own, just cries until we get him.
Is the idea that I just let him cry until the light turns blue,i.e. ok to wake? He „gets“ the concept or at least tells me „wait light blue“ but still cries every morning.
It feels like every other day I am losing my sh*t and end up yelling at my kids in frustration that they won’t do what they are told / are misbehaving.Not constantly but at least once every couple days. I then feel horrible. So sanity check.. how often do others here lose their sh*t with the kids? Any advice on how to not lose it?
Baby name question – we are having a very hard time coming up with a name for baby 2. My spouse is very set on a name that objectively I like but, too me, is just way too similar to the first kids name — think Ezra and Zarah. Would that bother you? Or should I try to be more open?
Is it rude to have a sprinkle registry for a second baby? My mom insists it is, but I’ve had some coworkers and relatives ask if I’m registered. Thoughts? Baby is opposite gender, if that matters.
Does anyone have a eufy indoor security camera? Thinking of using it as a baby monitor camera (we need a monitors in a couple different places and apparently that isn’t a thing with an audio only monitor). I know it transmits over wifi and that is less secure and you have to have your phone on/app open to listen to it. Any other downsides I’m not thinking of?
My husband and I are happily one and done. My 4 year old has started asking all the time for a baby brother or sister, even bursting into tears a few times about her lack of sibling. I think it has a lot to do with her daycare bestie, who was also an only child, getting a baby brother soon. Rationally, I know she doesn’t understand what she’s asking for, and a new sibling would rock her world in ways she can’t begin to anticipate, but it’s hard to see her like this. Did anyone have an only who asked for a sibling around this age and grew out of it? Her daycare friend’s mom volunteered to me that she and her husband only wanted one child themselves, but felt like they had to have a second when their kid started begging for a sibling, which of course made me feel super guilty. Please reassure me my kid won’t resent her selfish mom when she’s older? I’m an only child also, but my parents swear I never asked for a sibling. I know grandparents sometimes have selective memory though.
Any recommendations for slippers to wear around the house? Our first floor is freezing but I don’t want everyone wearing outside shoes around the house. Also we have wood floors so non-skid would be great
Light at the end of the tunnel with returning back to normal. *Just* after we did a PCR test for DS to return to daycare, they changed their requirements to a doctor’s note (!!!) to be consistent with state guidance. Luckily PCR was negative 10 days out – for anyone wondering this (2 y/o sick for 5 days). See ya covid jail; fingers crossed we are back to business on Tuesday! (Until the next center closure.)
WWYD? I want to give my nanny a raise. She’s been with us for six weeks, but I would be a puddle without her. I’m paying her the average rate for our area, but I want to raise it a couple dollars per hour. Is this a terrible idea?

I’m looking to bake salty snacks with my kid who is not into sweets at all.
Any recipes out there you like? Bonus points if cute cookie cutters are involved…
