Weekend & Family Friday: Milk Chocolate Covered Animal Crackers

My mom found these chocolate covered animal crackers from Asher’s Chocolate Co. at Wegmans and raved about them. After we tried them and also fell in love, we ran to our local Wegmans and found that the brand makes chocolate covered graham crackers and chocolate covered pretzels, too. They are also absolutely amazing.
I am usually a dark chocolate person, but the milk chocolate is so incredibly good and rich I don’t think I need to try the dark. You can order directly from the website, and they have gift boxes that anyone would love to receive.
I’m almost sorry I tried these, because there’s no turning back.
One bag of the animal crackers is $7.50 (flat rate shipping of $15, so make a big order!) at Ashers.com — or try your local store (check their website). Milk Chocolate Covered Animal Crackers

For the poster looking for female animal books, my kids loved Construction Cat, about a mama cat the works on a construction site. The rhymes and pictures are really cute.
Why are kids’ winter coats so effing ugly?! Can’t a kid have a nice sleek solid-colored coat or parka?
Please help educate this FTM. This winter kiddo will be between 18 and 21 months. She is currently a confident walker. What winter gear do I need? I’m in the DMV. Last winter if we were going for a walk I either wore her under my maternity coat or put her in the stroller in a stroller bunting bag thing. She has a car seat safe coat; a fleece lined Patagonia coat (not waterproof); and will have gloves and a hat. Do I need snowpants? Boots? Special socks? Anything else?
Paging Anooooooon again from last Thursday, who was really struggling to bill and seemed to be at a breaking point. I’m just checking in on you. Are you okay? I posted the day after your post and I have been thinking about you all week.
Jumping on the furniture-recommendation bandwagon…does anyone have a brand of bed they really love? We are upgrading to a king and I want a bed that is solid wood and well put together. I’ve had some bad experiences with furniture from the big stores (Crate and Barrel, West Elm), so I’m reluctant to spend the money on something from there. Caveat is that we want a wooden bed, not an upholstered one, and it seems like most beds these days (or at least the ones that advertise to me on Instagram) are either upholstered or super minimalist platform beds.
Hi. I posted last Friday that I was struggling but people kept taking my weight loss as a reason to compliment me, not see that it’s because I was so stressed out I couldn’t eat or sleep.
Things kind of came to a head and I made a really simple, low stakes mistake in an internal meeting. Think I sent version 47 not version 48, noticed it right away, and rectified the issue. I (half jokingly) said that I was going to ‘resign in disgrace’ and I realized… I was only half kidding. I was willing to quit a job I really love because I”m just… DONE. So I took a personal day. I told my boss that realistically, she could pick X or Y to get done but not both. She was awesome.
And… I slept. I slept for 7 glorious hours (not all in a row, but… that’s 3 more hours than I have gotten in weeks). On my personal day I deep cleaned my bedroom and bathroom. And it gave me a sense of control that I needed. Now I’m giving myself permission to phone it in.
Any recommendations for pediatricians in NoVa for a FTM? Better if Arlington area specifically but open to other recs.
What are some good quality places where I can buy used baby items? First time mom and I’m overwhelmed with doing the registry, not to mention the cost of everything.
I’m pro schools opening but I’m really disappointed that the CDC caved to political pressure with its new list of recommendations. I say this as the parent of a choir/theater kid, the CDC rec for those activities should be not to have them. I really liked this article about how to open schools and which activities to include. The fact that there are schools opening with no mask requirements is absurd. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/07/29/opinion/coronavirus-schools-reopen.amp.html
Posted on the main s i te too, but I might be in mod for hours over there so I’ll ask here too. Has anyone bought a sleeper sofa from p ottery barn or any store like that? I’m looking for something that is both comfortable to sit on and to sleep on. Any recommendations or reviews would be much appreciated.
Does anyone have a recommendation for hair ties for toddlers? The baby rubber bands (that look like orthodontic rubber bands) don’t really work anymore, but she doesn’t have enough hair for adult ones either … thanks!
