Most comfortable bras to move to after nursing bras?

I have worn almost exclusively Bravado BodySilk bras for the past 10 years of pregnancy/nursing. I weaned my last baby and want to get some new bras but it turns out wearing seamless/wireless nursing bras for a decade has ruined me for “real” bras . . . the brands and styles that I used to think were comfortable for all day/every day I can now tolerate for 6 hours max. 34F.

My soon to be five year old asked for “a roboter that can walk to built on his own” for his upcoming birthday. Amazon has some roboter building sets but maybe anyone has any special recommendation or leads? Thank you!

Please help me plan out the food for my son’s 5th birthday party this weekend. It’s at a local park/playground with an indoor party room, from 12-2 pm. Only 4 kids have RSVP’d yes (we invited around 22). We’ll have 6 family members, and assuming three people for each RSVP, that’s 18 people total. So maybe 4 medium pizzas? We’ll have some individual bags of popcorn, fruit gummies, and applesauce pouches out as well. Our vegan and gluten-free friends cannot make it, so we’re assuming everyone is OK with dairy and wheat. Should we get a veggie tray as well? Also: should I get cupcakes or a 1/2 sheet cake? Thanks! This is our first non-family party so we’re newbies.

Screaming into the void. Less than a month ago my husband came down with COVID after a weekend family trip. He isolated, and our daughter and I managed to avoid catching it. Now our daughter has managed to pick it up somewhere else and I have to fly out for a business trip on Sunday. This is a new job and I can’t get out of the trip unless I am actually sick. With my luck I’ll be fine until Sunday night and then get sick as soon as I check into the hotel. Arrrrrrrrrrrgh. Where is that nasal spray vaccine that prevents infection that we were promised like two years ago?

This is all coming after several other terrible viruses have run through our family in the past few months. It’s like having a toddler in day care all over again.

How do you have solo time with individual kids without the other kid freaking out? I have a 8 yo and a 4 yo. Every time one parent wants to do something individual with the 8 yo, the 4 yo freaks out because he wants to do it too. Example, DH wanted to take 8 yo on a walk this morning to look for deer, 4 yo lost his mind because he wanted to go. DH told him he’d take him tomorrow but NOTHING could calm this kid down. Tried special video time, special game time, special breakfast food . . . . DH eventually took 4 yo solo and promised 8 yo a solo walk tomorrow but I can already see the 4 yo’s meltdown coming. Ugh, feeling bad for 8 yo as I drink my morning coffee! :(
