Splurge or Save Thursday: Nourishing Hand Sanitizer

Needless to say, I’ve used gallons of hand sanitizer over the past year. I haven’t been very particular about what brand, but Dove’s Nourishing Hand Sanitizer recently caught my eye.

We use countless bars of Dove soap during the winter since it doesn’t dry out our skin, so I’m excited to try their hand sanitizer. Given how drying most hand sanitizers are, I’ve been looking for a product that annihilates germs but also keeps my hands soft. It looks like Dove might score on both fronts.

Note that some reviewers mentioned that the product has a strong fragrance, so if you have a scent sensitivity you may want to pass.

The sanitizer is available at Target for $4.99 and at many other retailers.

The “moms are not okay” episode from the what fresh hell podcast is what I needed this morning. Give a listen.

My 20 month old has been chewing on the face of his stuffed animal (a Jellycat bunny) every night recently. The poor bunny is all smushed up! Should we take it away? Replace with a new one? Not sure what to do, if anything. Thanks!

I know there was a recent threadjack about making your own baby purees, but I can’t seem to find it. Yes, I probably suck at Google. But help?

As kids get out of the toddler stage, how do you gauge what’s normal developmentally? Any recs for a good book to consult? My 5 yo is having daily breakdowns and tantrums, cries very easily, and I would have thought those would have decreased by now. But I don’t have many friends with kids so I don’t really know what is “normal.” She otherwise seems fine, does well in school, has friends, is liked by her teachers, etc.

Eyeing Kamik boots to tough out the rest of this super snowy winter. Currently have Sorels. Does anyone have Kamiks — would/would not recommend?

I am expecting baby # 2. My first is 6, so there’s a pretty large age gap between the two. Please spam me with must haves for baby #2 and any new baby items that are a must have. Also, since my car seat from # 1 is about to expire, I’m looking into new bucket seats. Anyone have any experiences with the Nuna Pipa Lite? Would you recommend it?

Has anyone taken Diclegis to help with sleep? I’m pretty newly pregnant with #3 (still v nervous) and somewhat nauseous, but not terribly so (knock on wood). But I’m having the hardest time with sleep – waking at 3 or 4 and not being able to fall asleep. I’m considering taking Diclegis to help, since it’s unisom + b6 — anyone have experience with this?

My 3 year old niece is in quarantine (she’s OK – but got exposed at daycare, she had a mask on but other little kid didn’t, so has to quarantine for 2 weeks). Her parents both WFH and have had daycare up to this point, so this is a new challenge. For you pros – what kidsafe, inexpensive fun things could I drop off to help distract her/keep her busy? She has an older sister who is attending 1st grade in person, but she’s not used to playing alone all day!

This is a great piece from the NYT today about the value of parenting. I am definitely guilty of seeing upper class people who “step out” of the workforce to become a caretaker, even temporarily, as virtuous, while being more judgmental to those in poverty. I hadn’t seen it framed that way before and will be doing some self-reflection on my biases and how to change them.

Any Texas ladies here today? How are you doing seems like a silly question, but – how are you doing?

Any insight into when to consider speech therapy for a 3 year old? Mine talks a lot and I think she has a good vocabulary but I have such a hard time understanding her. She talks so fast now and her pronunciation of many words is still not great and trying to talk to her is like trying to talk to a super drunk person who is slurring their words…funny at times but also difficult and exhausting. When she was younger she had fewer words and enunciated them more carefully so I actually had an easier time understanding her even though her pronunciations were more off.
