It’s PSL season! And while this can be a divisive time of year, if you are squarely pro-PSL (full disclosure, I have so far enjoyed PSL coffees, donuts, muffins, and even running gels), this body wash is for you!
This body wash cleanses and nourishes your skin while filling your shower with the scent of warm and comforting spices. It also has shea butter to moisturize; pumpkin enzymes to reveal smooth skin; and nutmeg, avocado, kiwi, and orange oils for glowing skin. Stock up now, because PSL season will end far too soon.
Tree Hut’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Body Wash is $7.99 at Target.

Would you find Friday afternoon activities burdensome? I’m leading a Girl Scout troop and my co-leader has a strong preference for meeting right after school. Fridays are really the only day I can do that, and I feel kind of weird about scheduling things for Friday. The girls all go to the same school and the meetings will be held at the school so the logistics shouldn’t be too complicated for most parents.
My daughter is trying to come up with ideas for her 10th birthday. We are tossing around a Kareoke party which would be Taylor swift heavy.
Ideas on how to make this work as a bday party? We have a huge finished basement which is walk out to the yard and has a hot tub. We have the ability to project movies outside.
This would be an October party in New England so all outdoors might be chilly, rainy, snowy or 85 degrees.
I’m trying to find somewhere to outsource this but haven’t found much. We’ve done in home parties before and as long as it isn’t a sleepover I’m good with it honestly.
I have really, really bad sciatic pain from my current pregnancy (31-32 weeks along). Genuinely the only relief I’ve found is laying in bed with a heating pad. No seated position in any kind of chair, hard or soft, provides relief, particularly when having a really bad flare up, like today/this past weekend. PT, stretches, etc are merely a brief band aid of relief but then I revert to the mean shortly after.
I had it with #1 > 5 years ago when my boss in my very male dominated world was a (very supportive) woman a few years older than me. It wasn’t as bad at the time but I wouldn’t have had a second thought of approaching her for some flexibility to WFH.
This time I have some pretty tone-deaf men as bosses. I’m an MD in a client-facing role in a competitive niche of finance. Our work flow and comp is pretty similar to a partner in a law firm, for some context. We’ve been 5 days in the office since the earliest day allowed after the onset of covid. Am I out of line / ridiculous to ask for some flexibility for the next few weeks? I really don’t want to “leave before you leave” so to speak – being pregnant and on mat leave is hard enough in my world but, my god, I’m dying today. I would never WFH on a day I had meetings scheduled, but we also do a lot of zoom and emailing so theoretically this should be feasible. I’m trying really hard to “not leave until I’m on leave” so to speak but I’m brought to tears today thinking about suffering like this for another 6-8 weeks. How would you handle?
Halp!
OK, since my completely innocuous post asking for info on a stroller is not making it through m8d, trying again with a very short version: is a reversible seat (parent-facing and outward-facing) a must, would outward-facing only be ok as long as I could get a bassinet attachment for the infant stage, and am I going to hate a storage basket with a 10-lb capacity? Thanks.
Looking for any recs (the more specific the better) for a house rental (villa or condo?) somewhere in the Caribbean that is not too hard to get to (direct flight preferred) from major east coast city, that can accommodate two families with two kids each (preferably 3 bedrooms, 4 would be great, at least 2 bathrooms) and comes with a staff (house keeping, chef would be awesome).
I’ve tried googling but there are so many websites it’s overwhelming. Also, it looks like many places have a 7-night minimum stay. Is that your experience?
Budget is ideally up to $2,500/night but could stretch to $3,000 for something truly spectacular (especially if food and/or booze are somehow included).
TIA!
Has anyone completely uprooted their family to take on a less intense job? We’d lose the help of our in-laws (actually helpful), social circle, and professional network. There is no option to stay in the same town (or geographic area) due to a very restrictive non compete clause. (Even if unenforceable, there are no other jobs locally).
I need weather/rain boot type ideas for my second grade girl. Size 2 shoes. She doesn’t like the galosh style ones e.g. hunter rain boots. I’m thinking of some kind of shoe she can wear in wet weather and keep on during the day without having it be a big process to change. Sort of like L.L. Bean duck boots, which they don’t make in young kids sizes… At least in color she likes. We live in New England so ideally they’d be a little warm and not just rubber, but I’m not looking to replace true snow boots. Ideas?
A recommendation – my son tends to struggle with denser pages of texts in the early reader chapter books and we got those colour overlay reading rulers and it’s made a huge difference. He doesn’t need it at school but I think he’s naturally a bit more squirrelly when we are doing reading HW at home, and this helps him focus.
Does anyone have a Bumbleride stroller? The eco-friendly specs appeal to me and there seem to be decent reviews, although I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one in the wild. Three follow-up questions if you do have one:
First: how is the “infant ready” component? It looks like the seat reclines to 8 degrees, which to me isn’t “100% flat,” but I guess it technically meets requirements to be called “flat.” Does it seem like your infants were secure in there? I’m wondering if we could skip purchasing an bassinet if the seat really does go mostly flat. We would want to have a safe, non-reclined nap option while out and about.
Second (and maybe others could chime in too): Any thoughts on three-wheel jogging-style versus four-wheel strollers? Bumbleride has options for both and I’m torn on what we might need. We may occasionally go on trails, but not rugged ones. Most use would be on walking paths and perhaps some travel. The one additional benefit of the four-wheel option from Bumbleride is that it has a reversible seat (so the infant can face you or away from you), which I do think I would like. The three-wheel option doesn’t have that, but it IS compatible with their optional bassinet. The options would be four-wheel stroller with reversible seat and bassinet compatibility or three-wheel stroller with non-reversible seat and bassinet compatibility. We would also have a compatible infant carseat for either, but I don’t know if I like the idea of using that as the primary infant option since it doesn’t recline all the way. Help??
Third: Am I going to hate that the basket only has a 10-lb weight capacity?
Welcome any opinions!!
DS is 3 and still uses a pacifier to sleep. He wakes up crying once or twice at night when he loses it, and we have to help him find it. His dentist suggested weaning him off by cutting his paci a little shorter each week. Last night we gave DS the shortened paci, he was confused and sad, didn’t want to use it and cried for 45 minutes before eventually falling asleep. I was up half the night feeling guilty that we cut his paci without any warning or explanation. When he woke up at 5 am DH gave him the regular paci so we could sleep for a couple more hours. I want to stop trying to wean him right now and wait to see if he gives it up on his own in the next year, but I frequently cave on things like this. Should we pause or keep going?
