I love a good multi-palette for travel or even just simplifying my morning.
This stackable quad palette from new-to-me brand Morphe 2 has it all — a shimmery eyeshadow, creamy blush, moisturizing lip tint, and dewy balm. Everything is easy to apply with a brush or even just your fingers. It comes in three blendable and buildable colors (“fresh peach,” “oh-so-nude,” and “pink please”).
Keep a set at home, at your office, and in your bag.
Morphe 2’s Quad Goals Multi-Palette Set is $16 at Target.

Well we had a good run, but my family caught Covid from a visiting family member.
It started with a scratchy throat Saturday morning and we all have symptoms now ranging from coughs, runny nose, aches, and chills. Husband tested positive Sunday morning.
For those that have had Covid recently, how long did your symptoms last? Husband and I are triple vaxxed. 2yo is almost 4 weeks out from his first dose. We will be sticking out the length of our quarantine regardless but curious about others experience.
We just haven’t gotten it together enough to get my kid COVID-vaccinated yet. He will have his 3-year old check up in 3 weeks, and the pediatrician can give him the first dose then, or we can go to a pharmacy and get it done sooner. What say y’all? I don’t know if we could coordinate well enough so that the pediatrician could give him a second dose, but I can ask.
Ugh analysis paralysis. What is the best month to birth a child? And why?
On theme for today, apparently: good friends are quarantining after their young toddler tested positive this weekend. I’d like to drop off some care packages for them — toddler, almost-4 yr old sibling, two working parents and grandparents who happen to be visiting. Suggestions for specific items to include? I’m overwhelmed with work and a cross-country move, but have time to shop this evening at most big box stores. Thanks all, and I’m so sorry so many of us are dealing with this (still!!!!!!).
Almost in the third trimester with my third and, wow, I’m bigger, faster than I was with the other two. I’d been weightlifting regularly and walking but now those two activities feel uncomfortable in my pelvis. (discussed with dr, no medical concerns, just, you know, pregnant) Any suggestions for workouts? My personality is the type when I need physical exertion to help stay relaxed. So far I’ve got swimming (which I am terrible at) and using an exercise bike, but I’m probably missing something.
Anyone have a kiddo that does russian math? What is it, exactly? There are some kids at our elem school that do it, and I have a rising 3rd grade girl who loves math and expressed interest in doing more math-y things.
Is this like crazy tiger mom level of activity? Is it a fun thing? More like tutoring? The website makes it seem like all of the above.
Controversial topic for a Monday morning – do you enjoy spending time with your kids? Not 24/7 of course, but in general, you want to spend time with them and arrange your schedule in a way that encourages family time?
I’m five months pregnant with our first and probably only. Was listening to one of the Emily Oster books this weekend (The Family Firm) and she made a comment about wanting to have quality time with her kids once they hit elementary school, and making work choices that encouraged that to happen. I don’t know why, but that really hit me hard. Like of course, parents should want to spend time with their kids, but I don’t remember my mom ever saying she wanted to spend time with me even as an adult or making decisions that weren’t rooted in childcare, cost, or her own needs. I thought about it some more and I can’t recall any parent, aunt, uncle, family friend making a comment along the lines of wanting to spend more time with their kids.
I know not all Boomers feel this way (my in laws definitely like their kids) but I have noticed most young parents of my generation chose to be parents and really value time with their kids. Part of the reason I think we will be one and done is that I don’t want to feel overwhelmed and miserable all the time, and if I can make an amazing life for one kid, then that’s what I’m going to do.
Any tips for teenage acne, specifically clogged pores on the nose? I’m overwhelmed by the internet. He’s washing his face twice a day (allegedly) with Cetaphil Gentle skin cleanser and moisturizing with Purpose SPF 15 in the morning (also allegedly). He’s 13, so this may just be the beginning, but I want to try and instill good habits while he’s still mostly listening to me.
Anyone have advice/resources for pushing back on return to office? My office has been very flexible but then decided to implement mandatory 3 days butts in sears, with the possibility for exceptions. I asked for an exception bc I have 3 young kids (one infant) and we’re still very Covid cautious. I offered one day in the office per week. Well they denied it, stating they would only grant exceptions for documented immune compromised family members. Thoughts? Tips? Advice?
This is new territory for me. 4.5 year old is persistently asking to take ballet classes. She’s constantly dancing around, saying she’s the sugarplum fairy. I don’t – like sincerely don’t – want to become a dance parent/family and get all in to competitions and the like. I have Reasons, but I also know that I’m getting ahead of myself with that comment. I’d like to give her this experience at 4.5 years old, and especially since it’s a consistently expressed interest. I was not a dancer as a kid, so where do I start? I imagine not all dance studios are created equal. Any reason to do ballet only vs expose her to something else/more? Is it really just word of mouth around town to find a good place?
Does anyone have any great resources (websites, books, podcasts) on how to talk to children (ages 8 and 11) about having an alcoholic family member? I’m looking for resources that I can use to educate myself to talk with my children about their dad (and my ex-husband) who is an alcoholic. (I’ve done Al Anon but my kids are too young for Alateen.) Thanks.
Have any of you used a nanny agency and what was your experience? I’m looking for a nanny for my twins but weird hours (one weekend a month and two afternoons a week). Our current nanny is wonderful but doesn’t want to nanny anymore. We found her on care dot com but subsequent candidates I’ve interviewed there seem flaky.
Hoping to get more advice about my 4.5 year old who suddenly has terrible separation anxiety. Thanks to the people who responded last week.
We did try to talk to her about it, but she wasn’t really able to articulate anything concrete. I don’t think this is a friend issue, because it’s happening not only at school but also at bedtime and when she goes to her beloved grandparents’ house, but I did ask the teachers and they said there was nothing they saw that was concerning and she’s happy once she recovers from us leaving. She has two close friends at school and the three girls seem to play together really nicely, but my daughter also plays with other kids when her close friends aren’t there or aren’t interested in doing whatever she wants to do.She does seem to do better at school dropoffs when we’ve let her sleep in our bed the night before, so maybe we should just give into that for the short term? (There’s only one week of school left and then a couple weeks of vacation where we’ll be room-sharing by necessity.) But maybe that’s just kicking the can down the road.
