Postpartum Tuesday: MoDRN Baby Dresser and Topper

I was poking around Walmart for shelves recently and stumbled upon their line of modern baby furniture, MoDRN Baby. Wow!
The line is sleek and really affordable compared to a lot of the other baby furniture out there. This $45 dresser changing pad topper is a bestseller, and it’s easy to see why — it easily converts a sleek dresser into a changing pad dresser. You can attach it to a 3-drawer dresser ($299) or a 6-drawer dresser ($399).
That said, always anchor your furniture, ladies! We still have every shelving unit, dresser, and television anchored into the wall, and my eldest is 6!
Where did you buy your nursery furniture from, ladies?

Can anyone recommend a college admissions counselor or service? We’re in NOVA / DC. Looking for help in finding colleges that are a good fit and navigating the application process rather than exam coaching. Thanks!
Yesterday, daycare sent our 8 mo daughter home with a sheet to sell candles as a “fundraiser.” I get this for schools, but this is a daycare, where we are paying them. Are we really supposed to harass our friends, relatives, and neighbors to buy candles to raise money… not for a school, but for a business that we pay for? Is this a thing?
We got our nursery furniture from a hodgepodge of places. We got the crib from a neighbor (some fancy convertible one they sold us for $100 when their 5 year old graduated from toddler to twin bed. We had it for 6 years and three kids, then I gave it to a friend. Sturdy furniture lasts! It’s worth checking craigslist/garage sales), Hemnes dresser with a changing pad on top to double as a changing table, and Kallax shelves from Ikea, Dutailier glider from somewhere (I gave that to the friend, too). Rug we already had, lamps were gifted to us.
Plusses or minuses to a trundle bed for a toddler? Looking at a PB Kids trundle that is on sale for our 2.5 year old. We haven’t transitioned her yet but we will soon enough. I always wanted a trundle as a kid so maybe that’s why I’m swaying that way. Thinking it gives toddler some “choice” and flexibility in her room. She also has a few cousins that live very close by and are the exact same age so sleepovers seem inevitable and welcomed.
I’m certain I’m over thinking it but figured what the heck – why not ask the hive. TIA.
Warmest sleep sack for a toddler? LO is probably not going to be old enough to manage warm blankets this winter (14-15 months at the coldest point) and for reasons that can’t be fixed right now, our temperature options for his room are either quite cold or jungle hot. The complicating factor is that he has a wool sensitivity, so no wool content will work.
Parent/teacher conferences in middle school – useful or not? This year, we are given the option of meeting with one of the teachers (who provides feedback on behalf of all teachers) or (if the student is performing well) not doing a conference. Is a conference worth it? I’ve always done the conferences but in elementary school, I also knew his teachers really well – in this case, it’s my only opportunity for one on one interaction with a teacher (unless I go out of my way). On the other hand, I have no actual questions (I know what he needs to work on and I can reinforce that at home) – plus, I don’t even get to meet with all the teachers. Thoughts? I’m leaning towards doing it but don’t really want to be *that* parent.
has your city/school district announced what metrics it will use to determine whether schools should stay open/close and if so, have they changed the metric since schools have reopened? i live in Houston and they had announced that if the percent positive rate for the county was above 7%, school would shift fully virtual. The rate is now 7.6%, and they’ve decided to update the metrics. I’m all for keeping schools open as much as possible and so far rampant spread in a school doesn’t seem to be happening with good measures in place, but I also don’t know how I feel about the idea of changing the metrics used to fit your needs, though i know we are constantly learning new things about the virus, but in-person school has only been happening here for like 2 weeks, it seems like they should’ve taken what was learned elsewhere in the country and adapted the metrics before opening schools.
My son is coughing. I think it is due to his runny nose. He’s excluded from daycare today. I am fine with the rule, but I feel like this comes up every two weeks (we have two kids). I am just tired of it. And I think I am getting his cold.
rain boots for toddlers? i personally think adult rain boots are sooo uncomfortable and always give me blisters, but i always see kids hopping around in boots
ISO wool toddler sweaters. Last year around this time we had multiple wool sweaters that we had received as gifts that baby wore all winter. I’m looking for something similar and am not finding a lot of options. There are a few options on Etsy, but fewer than I expected. Any retailers I’m missing? Do you have an over-producing grandparent or aunt that makes more sweaters than your 24 month old can wear?
