This wrap-style baby carrier is a classic for a reason.
As a petite person, I found wrap-style carriers a better fit than other styles. This one from Moby is made from soft, machine washable cotton and fits babies 8 to 33 pounds (although I’m not sure I’d want to carry a squirmy toddler in it). This front style-carrier is great for travel, especially to warmer weather locales. As with any wrap-style carrier, it takes a little practice to juggle your baby and all the straps, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be off!
Moby’s Classic Baby Carrier is $44.99 at Nordstrom Rack. You can also find it on Amazon and many other retailers.

We’re in that shoulder week between the end of summer camps and the start of school. (WHY.) I am saving both money and vacation days for a very necessary family trip to Asia in December, so we have playdates this week in place of childcare, and I have a menagerie of first- and second-graders tearing up my living room. It’s simultaneously adorable and also I have never identified more with the Grinch. Anyone else? What do other people do in this situation?

Send them outside. :)

Yep! All summer our street has been occupied by a group of feral elementary school children wielding Nerf projectile weapons and shrieking while climbing on inflatable water slides, bouncing on trampolines, and hanging off of home gymnastics equipment. One more week until school starts.
GCA says
Oh yeah, that’s on the cards once it cools off a bit, feels like 97 out there right now :)

If you’re not in a place with water rationing, that’s when I turn on the sprinkler and let them go to town.

Usually camp grandma but I am only a little ashamed to say that one break I bought each of my kids a giant 1000 piece Lego set which kept them busy and quiet for 3 days. It was cheaper than daycare!

We’ve started hosting some drop off play dates for my pre-K kiddo and I feel the same way. So cute and so fun for the kids, but so much mess.

This is us next week. I am paying through the nose for one week at the only camp that has this week. School starts on Thursday, and we just learned for the little ones it is two half days (head desk). Which is like 2 hours of school? And no aftercare till the week after…. canceling meetings and blocking out calendar as much as possible.

I always hate that especially since in my job a lot of people take the last week or two of august off and the day after labor day is the tradition, Back To The Office Day! And my phone starts blowing up, but there’s still no school for another few days!!
Pogo says
Kiddo is going to a mixture of his old daycare/preschool and real school this week, plus a wildcard day on Friday. I may beg Nana to help for part of the day.
