Even though I have a ton of skincare samples that I’ve slowly collected from Sephora orders, I haven’t been in a hurry to try any of the high-end moisturizers because I’m sticking with my budget option: this SPF 15 moisturizer from Neutrogena.
I’ve been using this product for years, and I’m very happy with it. I never go out in any season without sun protection on my face (I’m not great about remembering to include my neck — need to get better about that!), and this product is lightweight, oil-free, non-greasy, and fragrance-free. (Well, it definitely has a sunscreen-y scent, but it’s not super strong.) And it’s definitely popular — with more than 2,000 reviews at Amazon, the vast majority are 5-star.
The moisturizer is $9.58 at Amazon (with an extra $1.25 off applied at checkout) and $9.99 at Target and is also available at drugstores, etc. The 4-oz. bottle lasts a long time. Oil-Free Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 15

Thanks for the earlier post today!
Present idea for a 3 and 4 yo? They love books, dress-up, imaginative play, climbing on things, and coloring (but have plenty of art supplies at the moment). Preschool is remote probably until next September, so they spend lots of time at home right now.
I prefer the Olay sensitive skin SPF 15 formula. It doesn’t contain any “benzone” ingredients, which tend to stain my white clothes yellow.
We’re moving in 2.5 weeks – I don’t need to Daniel Tiger style prepare for this, right? We’re moving from the city to the country but nursery will remain the same (commute will be a bit brutal but our nursery is amazing and I want to settle in and do some research). My 3 year old seems excited, but also a bit confused, he asked if our neighbours were moving too.
Has anyone had to have surgery while pregnant? Obviously the surgery is urgent and unavoidable but I’m devastated to have to do this. I’ll be under for about 15 minutes and the doctors say they can do it safely but I’m just a mess. Surgery is tomorrow.
Okay my 4 yo who is the size of a 5 yo really wants a motorcycle for Christmas? He saw the Stacyc ones this summer but I do not want to buy anything that expensive! Agh. But it’s his number one. He said “don’t worry mom it can be a toy motorcycle” but not sure what’s big enough for a toy for a five year old. We’ve tried to discourage this request but I think it’s going straight to Santa – any suggestions?
Has anyone ever successfully cut down to nursing to only once a day before age 1? My second is 8 months and I am feeling ready to be done. Definitely ready to be done pumping. My supply hasn’t been great, so baby has been combo fed about 60/40 formula/breastmilk while with the nanny for the last couple of months and it’s been so nice not to stress about milk math, drink gross teas, fit in extra pumping sessions, etc. If she seems hungry we often mix up a bottle of all formula on evenings or weekends and she happily drinks that. Baby is eating a ton of solids and I can tell my supply is dropping even more. The only reason I don’t want to fully wean is that she still wakes once overnight, usually around 4 am, and a nursing session reliably gets her back to sleep til 7. Without it she’ll be awake on and off and then up for the day around 6. My older kid dropped this early morning feed by herself before 1 year and I’m content to let it ride a few more months to see if that happens. But is it feasible to cut down to only this one nursing session, or will my supply disappear completely?
Separate question from mom whose DS wants a motorcycle just because I didn’t want requests to get confused – he’s also asked for a skateboard (seriously, this is the kids whole list, not sure what’s going through his mind right now). Are there skateboards appropriate for a 4.5/5 year old? Lots of pads obviously? Terrible idea?
I’m on the hunt for a durable, large, cute monogrammed tote bag for a holiday gift. Bonus points if 1) it has a few pockets and 2) if it’s from a small business in the US. Any ideas?
What did y’all do at the 1-2 year old stage with Christmas trees? I’m leaning towards not having one this year but my husband is disappointed by that idea. Our house is too small to baby-gate all around the tree. Maybe we get a wreath or a table tree as a compromise?
After much internet shopping, I settled on the Guidecraft brand learning tower for LO’s Christmas gift. However, they are sold out everywhere! Anyone been through this? Do they restock frequently? Thanks as always.
We’ve been sending kiddo to preschool throughout the fall because his class is pretty small (6 kids) and we know the families, the kids and teachers all wear masks. I just learned that another family is planning to travel by plane to a hotspot for Thanksgiving. I’ve asked the director whether they plan to do anything about this but UGH, I don’t want to have to pull my kid out for 2 weeks to be safe just because another family is taking a trip. Preschool is pretty much the only risk we are taking and all of a sudden it feels like a much bigger one.
Any recommendations on how to purge toys? I have a hard time letting go. Any advice greatly appreciated!!
Is the current 50% off and free shipping on cards as good as it gets? Or should I wait until black friday?
We just took christmas cards pictures today and I want to get it off my to do list.
Kid is about to be 4 months and has started trying to sit himself upright in his bouncer. What sort of kid container can I keep him in once he starts sitting up? We have a high chair that reclines a bit, but I’m thinking for the times he is hanging out in our office or the living room when we don’t want to be holding him.
Not a fan of the seated walkers because of the safety and hip concerns, but a similar activity center would work.
