I had no idea that you can now get products from Ulta Beauty at Target!
For my next Target run, this sunscreen gel from Tula might find its way into my cart. Even though the days are shorter, I still feel it’s important to protect my skin. This non-comedogenic, broad spectrum sunscreen will leave you glowing without any greasiness or white cast. The probiotic extracts will also smooth and improve your skin.
Tula Skincare Protect + Glow Daily Sunscreen Gel is $38 at Target.

Have you ever woken up with an extreme sense of foreboding or anxiety and just can’t shake it? I’m not sure if its just the news about Russia/Ukraine, Biden’s warning about nuclear Armageddon or whatever you call it, the impending mid-term elections that seem to have so much riding on them, the economy and the prospect of layoffs at my firm, the fact that I have two little kids (girls) or what, but I just feel so anxious about everything all of a sudden and on the verge of tears. It is very unlike me. I don’t know what I want, maybe just a virtual hug or someone to say this season of life is hard and the news is somewhat scary so I’m not completely overreacting or maybe someone to just shake some sense into me.
After we spent $$$ to repair our crummy Bosch dishwasher it is broken again and it’s time to throw in the towel. I never liked the Bosch and am interested in upgrading to a Miele for the rack layout and reliability, but the Wirecutter review makes it sound like the Miele doesn’t wash or dry as well. Everyone seems to love Bosch but us. Maybe our Bosch was just a dud? Does anyone have experience with Miele?
Any favorite appetizers or sides to bring to a dinner party? Ideally something that stays good cold and is kid friendly.
My 2-year old’s diet is so narrow that I am worried he isn’t getting the proper nutrition. He won’t eat any fruits or vegetables, cooked or raw, though he will occasionally eat a pouch. He stopped eating any kind of chicken, fish, thanks beef or beans, and will usually fill up on bread and crackers. He does like yogurt and milk, so those are his main sources of protein. We do offer a toddler-appropriate version of our dinner each night, but he refuses. He is happy, active and talkative, and though his growth has slowed our pediatrician isn’t concerned. Is this normal? Just need a gut check. Anything else I can do to help him expand his palate?
Another fun day of normal work for both parents and no school/daycare for kids! yay! /sarcasm
I scheduled my parents to come over, but my mom woke up feeling sick, so it’s just my dad. The 5yo is insistent on monopolizing him for Lego building purposes and the 2yo is NOT having it.
My 2023 goal is to block these days and request PTO as soon as my balance refreshes instead of suffering every time they come up.
Anyone have kid sweatshirts (pullover, not zip) that they like? My 6yo needs some new ones. I asked for her preferences and she said “Maybe one with an animal on it?” When I tried to get more specifics, she responded with “I like all animals.” Willing to spend up to $40 or so since this will get passed down to at least one sibling, possibly two if her very particular little brother ever becomes willing to wear items with long sleeves (so far he’s on Year 2 of a long-sleeve boycott).
Just received an SOS from my husband, who is going to parent teacher conferences tomorrow (I’m away). He wants to know what he should ask, and I don’t know?
T seems fine at school maybe a bit bored, we’ve not had any interaction with the teacher to date, so we’re assuming in the absence of any other information that everything is going well? We get reports from T that sometimes the other students are “silly” and “not using their listening ears” which annoys him, but otherwise he seems content.
My husband and I have a conference with my 3yo daughter’s lead teacher later this week. My daughter turned three in August. My daughter is in her first year of children’s house at a Montessori program. Last year she was in the toddler program at the same school. Over the summer, she was in the summer camp program at the same school in the children’s house program as a transition for this school year.
The back story is that we have received several messages since the beginning of the year from my daughter’s lead teacher that my daughter is being “defiant.” The messages the lead teacher sends are paragraphs long. I’m talking if it were a text message it would be 5-7 screens each message. (She gives us the full backstory on everything in each message.) The lead teacher also uses a lot of vocabulary that kind of reminds me of something from a textbook, not practical life, like her lead teacher from the toddler program.
Some of the things that my daughter’s teacher has mentioned are: (1) not listening the first time asked, (2) not following multi-step directions the first time asked, (3) disengaging from her work for periods of time to just sit, (4) throwing tantrums, (5) not wanting to fall asleep right away when in the nap room, (6) hitting a classmate (two occasions), and (7) running away from her teacher. My husband and I do see an issue with (6) and (7) and have talked to our daughter about this. She has slapped at my husband and I before when she is upset, and we correct this whenever it happens telling her it is never okay to hit anyone or run away as it could be dangerous, giving her a timeout and talking with her about it when she is calm. As far as the tantrums, we have seen some minor ones but not the complete meltdowns that her teacher describes.
Last week my daughter woke up one morning at 5:30 am screaming that she “didn’t spill it” and “I want [assistant teacher].” When I picked my daughter up earlier than usual on Friday afternoon, she was with the lead teacher and about 8 other children in the classroom in the aftercare portion. My daughter was sitting in a chair in the corner crying, and the teacher indicated she had been like this since waking up from nap. When the lead teacher approached her, my daughter walked away from the lead teacher quickly and called out to me. I asked the lead teacher if I could enter the room to get my daughter. My daughter asked me to hold her, and after we got her coat and backpack asked me to carry her out of school. She has never wanted to be carried out of school before. Later, I asked her what made her sad and she said “Miss [lead teacher].”
At the conference with the lead teacher, I want to listen to what the lead teacher has to say. I want to be prepared to also ask questions. I want to know if the expectations are age appropriate. I want to know how other children of her age behave in this teacher’s classroom. I want to know how this teacher has handled similar situations previously.
Any feedback or questions that we can address with the lead teacher are greatly appreciated. TIA.
