I have a hard time using my phone with gloves. Even with touchscreen-compatible gloves, my phone becomes a useless box. So, I’ve become a fan of fingerless gloves like these from Nordstrom.
These soft gloves are made from a blend of recycled and new cashmere and come in a rainbow of colors ranging from bright to neutral. Keep a pair in each coat pocket to warm your hands and keep your phone handy.
These recycled cashmere blend fingerless gloves are $49.

Are sneakers with laces a terrible idea for a 4 year old who isn’t good at independent dressing? My kid has been begging for light-up sneakers for years, and is obsessed with unicorns so I thought these (https://www.skechers.com/twinkle-toes-twi-lites-2.0—unicorn-wings/314401L_MLT.html) would make a great Hanukkah gift. But she’s never had shoes that aren’t Velcro and I’m not optimistic about teaching her to tie laces any time soon. We’re still struggling with getting shirts on and off.
8 months pregnant (plus a toddler!) and got covid. I didn’t get the bivalent booster that was released recently bc my OB didn’t push it and I read reports that it would be better to get it while nursing. All that said I feel absolutely miserable and not sure what “mild” symptoms feels like but surely this is not it.
Im assuming my toddler got it first because he was really sick last week (but tested negative??) and passed it along to me…my husband is double boosted and has been spared this far.
Any recommendations for Cool Aunt gifts for a 7-year-old girl? My brother/SIL are very anti-Disney, anti-corporate, and don’t forbid but don’t really buy anything sparkly or girly. I was thinking of picking up some stuff from Claire’s for stocking stuffers and will ask her if there’s anything in particular she wants, but not sure otherwise. I know she’d like a nail polish/nail art set but I think that would be towing the line with her parents so I might need it to be heavy on the “art” side of things if anyone has any recommendations for that.
She likes animals, reads a ton, and has also been very into drawing lately.
Curious if anyone has bought the Opinel Le Petit Chef set for their kid (knife, knife guard, peeler)? Thinking about getting it for my 7 year old but not sure if its worth it over just getting her a regular knife. She can use our regular peeler just fine but I do like the knife guard.
Ok, Halloween is over, time to start booking Christmas events! (Seriously though.) Current dilemma: should we limit ourselves to one event at which Santa is present? We’re attending a brunch with “Santa and the elves” at which we’ll get to take a photo, etc. I’m also considering booking us a “holiday train ride,” but Santa would be there also. I feel like Santa over-exposure will dilute the specialness of each encounter and we should skip the train ride.
How are others feeling about this? I feel like when we were growing up, Santa was at the mall and that’s about it. Now every community event, restaurant, party, and church has Santa on-site during the season! How are you deciding which of the dozens of potential holiday festivities to do and which to skip?
How long can you reasonably board a dog? We are planning to travel for 2 weeks at Christmas. We have a nice boarding place we use. But 2 weeks seems like too long. Should we try to find a pet sitter at the house? How does one do that? My only local family is my sister and she has an aggressive dog so she cannot help. I am new to having a dog (the dog is 1).
When I was a kid, someone would come over a couple times per day and let the dog out. Is that still done? We have some teenage neighbors who might be up for it.
Any recommendations for a cream/ointment to reduce scarring from a very large elbow scrape? Not looking for something with really harsh chemicals or fragrances, but if there’s something with semi-decent ingredients that actually works, that’s what we need!
Is it rude to give the same gift at multiple birthday parties? We have several coming up, all kids in DS’s preschool class. I’m tempted to pick a couple games and buy 2-3 copies of each, then dole out as needed. But is that weird?
How much time does your pediatrician spend with you during appointments?
We had our 2 year old checkup yesterday and it just felt rushed. Saw the nurse (new, not good bedside manner with young children) for all the measurements, and then maybe had 4 minutes with the doctor when he came in. Looked at ears, nose, mouth, eyes, examined abdomen and opened front of diaper to give a 2 second glance and that was about it. Asked if she’s drinking milk/eating dairy, if she’s eating vegetables, if she’s in school yet. That was it.
Maybe I’m thrown off because she’s our first child and so I always google what to expect at X age dr’s appointment and so I was expecting more questions about her diet, her screen time, car seat and sleep set-up, potty training, etc., but we got none of those.
Am I off base in thinking we need to switch to someone more involved?
To be clear – I’m not actually concerned about anything in her behavior or development. I just feel like it was a perfunctory check of a handful of things and not very whole-child, if that makes sense.
But ultimately, as a first time mom, I have no frame of reference, so maybe this is normal?
Gift ideas for a 6 year old boy? He loves characters, playing dress up and trucks. He has all of that stuff. I am an out of state aunt and want to send something super fun, maybe even an experience with a “thing.” Budget is up to $100.
I’m listening to some childless coworkers chat about their trick-or-treater experiences last night, and OMG, I am having a hard time staying quiet. You literally know nothing about these kids or these parents or why they may be acting slightly feral. And honestly, none of the examples were egregious at all. They’re just … kids who are learning. You really are the BEST parent in the world until you have kids of your own! The amount of judgment that is being heaped on these parents is setting my teeth on edge.
What songs (if any) do you sing to/with your kids before bed? Looking for inspiration as I feel we sing the same ones over and over…
What shoes are 12-year old boys into these days? Looking for an Xmas gift for my nephew. Range is $60-70. Other gift ideas welcome – DH says shoes is an odd gift choice if we don’t know what he would like. His sister already requested a bunch of clothes from Shein which makes things easy, but nephew isn’t asking for anything in particular. He likes cross country, soccer and plays the trumpet.
