Everyone Thursday: Pressed Flower Necklaces

I’ve always been a fan of pressed flower stickers — but a necklace is a much better idea. I saw some fancier versions at Anthropologie recently and really liked them; Etsy of course has a similar option for about a fourth of the price. (For some reason a lot of the pressed flower pendants are very bulbous, which seems like they wouldn’t lay properly as a pendant — seller Iskra Creations seems to have good ratings and a wide variety of flat, pretty pressed flower necklaces and pendants. The pictured necklace, Queen Anne’s lace, is $32.

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Did you change your regular cleaning products to toxic free ones once you had a baby? We use the Babyganics laundry detergent but other than that I just try not to have the baby around when I clean. Any decent priced products you can recommend? I am starting to feel guilty that our baby does not have an organic mattress, organic sheets etc…How diligent are you about not exposing baby to “chemicals”?
What do you wish you had known previously about raising two kids two years apart?
My husband and I just found out that we’re expecting our second child and he or she will arrive just before the second birthday of our first child. We are very excited but I have no frame of reference for how this family dynamic looks. I’m an only child and my husband has a significant age gap between him and his sibling. How does one parent juggle two young children when the other parent is at work? How do you help baby #1 adjust?
Insight and/or book recommendations appreciated!
Looking at breast pumps – any preferences between renting a hospital grade, spectra, and Medela?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Any tips to help a toddler with a skin-picking habit? My kiddo takes any tiny nick of a wound and turns it into a massive open gash with her distracted picking. The worst is when they’re on her face, she looks so wrecked! We keep her nails clipped very short, put neosporin and bandaids on where we can, but the face ones are almost always impossible to cover because of their location. We remind her that we have to take care of our skin and we don’t want to get an infection, but she picks without thinking so I don’t think that reasoning with her is going to work. Ideas?
Relatedly, recommendations for a great moisturizer for a toddler’s face for these brutal winter months? An ounce of prevention will be worth a pound of cure in this case, I know, and keeping her skin from chapping in the winter is a top priority.
Any fans of the Chicco Cortina double stroller? Or something similar? I will have a two year old and a newborn and like that I can use the Chicco car seat with it. I would like the stroller to be on the smaller side / able to easily go through store and restaurant doors without issue (so probably not looking at a side by side). Any comments appreciated!
DS is 6 months old and a jolly fellow. Always content, nurses well, hits all milestones. But: The only way we can get him to nap during the day is by babywearing or pushing him around in his stroller. At night, he will only fall asleep while BF. He´ll then sleep for 4-6 hours. After that, he´s awake and fusses every 1 ½ hours, but will fall asleep within 5 minutes of nursing.
He does not take a paci or bottle, has no lovey anymore (after he almost suffocated because he stuffed it into his mouth), and is disinterested in music. So his soothing method is apparently either physical contact/ movement or comfort nursing.
A sleep trainer has strongly advised us to Ferber him asap. She considers falling asleep as a battle that we as parents need to win at 6 months at the latest.
I just don´t buy it…
If we put him in his crib after a bedtime routine while he´s tired but still awake, he´ll just grin at us and play with his feet/ PJs/ crib bars for hours. If we leave the bedroom, he starts fussing and escalates screaming literally for hours until he´s purple. He is inconsolable until we give in after 2-3 hours and either carry him around or I bf him.
Any ideas on how to help DS fall asleep other than Ferber/CIO?
Thanks to everyone who responded about placenta previa the other day. I’ve made it 3 days without bleeding now (yay) and the OB is going to scan me again at 15w to see if it has moved.
If it moves by then I’ll be allowed to travel, if not, she doesn’t want me to fly. If I can’t attend my upcoming meetings, it will be good practice for me setting boundaries as a working mom! And that’s what webex is for, right?
LO is going regularly enough on the little potty that we are sick of cleaning it out and ready to move up. LO has fallen into toilets before and won’t sit on a big one without having someone hold her hands but i’m not sure how long i can expect that to last.
i can’t decide whether to get new toilet seats with a fold down seat for kids, or just to get a separate “ring.” any thoughts? any recs of products?
Reposting from above: Anyone used a crib soother? If yes, did your baby like it and did it help with falling asleep?

MLM Rant:
I’m getting very frustrated with the number of people on my newsfeed who have been sucked in to the MLM game. Smart, educated women with decent careers! I know some of them are struggling for money due to divorces etc. and I think that’s why it’s frustrating me so much. I looked into it and all your friends selling leggings had to spend FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS to get started. That’s insane.
Sorry/end rant
