Family Friday: Peppa Willow Playsuit

My youngest loves shirts with his favorite characters. If your kid is into Peppa Pig, Trotters has a cute collab celebrating her 20th (!) birthday, including this fun romper.
At first, you might not notice Peppa hiding in the Liberty floral print. A delicate collar, drawstring waist, and snap buttons complete this one-and-done outfit. The breathable 100% cotton fabric is meant for warm summer playdates and parties.
This playsuit is $119 and comes in sizes 1Y to 6/7Y.

We are going to send birthday invites to the whole preschool class. Should we hand out paper invites, email a digital image of the invite, or email evites? I usually give a stack of paper invites to the teachers to put in all of the kids’ backpacks/cubbies. But most other parents send out digital invitations, and I I wonder if that is easier for parents to enter the info directly in their shared family calendar. What is easier for parents of attendees to keep track of?
Do you have a favorite bento – style kids lunch box that fits in the bottom of the dishwasher?
We have a hand me down BentGo (the original kids plastic one) and it works, but it takes up a lot of dishwasher space (and won’t scale up from 1 kid to 3 kids).
Entering the second trimester and my skin on the lower half of my face is really dry and starting to get flaky, which is not my norm. I’ve moisturized twice a day but apparently it’s not cutting it. Any recommendations for a thicker cream? Toxic ingredients are out, obviously.
Cross-posting here for fellow-parent perspectives. My job was eliminated this week. Overall, I strongly feel this is a good thing for me, but before I get too excited for summer vacation, what practical things do I need to consider? What would you do first/next? Relevant details: 6 months severance pay, we use DH’s health insurance & FSA benefits, and I hadn’t finished registering for all the “filler” summer camps yet anyway!
I’m looking for some kind of box or bin to store kids art work. My goal is to limit what gets saved to what will fit in the box. Has anyone found one they liked? Also, has this worked for anyone kids? To say that they can only save what fits within the box?
I’m also looking for a box to save Christmas cards in. Any suggestions?
We’re heading to Hawaii (Oahu) with our kids (5, almost 2) and my mother- and father-in-law later this summer. Hoping for some hive advice on the following:
1. The easiest-to-rub-in reef safe sunscreen. I truly loathe mineral sunscreen, but there’s not another option for this trip; please help me minimize the hassle! Already on it with rash guards, etc. to minimize skin to be sunscreened, but I want to make the sunscreen I DO have to apply as easy as possible.
2. Can anyone recommend a kids Hawaii or Oahu guidebook? I think the 5-year-old might enjoy looking at something like that and maybe ID’ing an activity or site that he’d like to see.
3. Tips for really little kids on a snorkel outing. Will this be incredibly stressful and we’re better off with a babysitter for the toddler? N.B. that my mother-in-law is likely to snorkel only a very a little bit and then be done, so there shouldn’t be a huge issue allocating childcare, but if it’s likely to be a bad time for her, we can pursue the childcare alternative. We expect that the 5-year-old will want to see some snorkel stuff and understand that the boat has a setup for little kids who can’t swim, so also interested in tips for him but much less likely to choose to leave him onshore.
