I like spray sunscreens for reapplying. Even if you’re hundreds of miles from the nearest beach, you’ll almost feel the sun and surf with this sunscreen from Sol de Janeiro.
This SPF 50 broad spectrum body spray quenches skin with coconut water, brightens with niacinamide, and protects with antioxidants from pongamia seed. The cooling spray also leaves your skin with a natural sheen. The lovely floral scent is an added bonus.
Rio Radiance SPF 50 Body Spray Sunscreen is $36 at Sephora.

When do you tell your older kid(s) about expecting a new baby? In my case, older kid is 4, will be almost 5 when baby is born. We were thinking of telling about 8-10 weeks before the due date so he has time to adjust but not so much time as to be too confused and anxious about it.
Has anyone dealt with a low platelet count during pregnancy? I am pregnant with my second and did not experience this last time. Is there anything you did to improve your platelet count so you could receive an epidural at your delivery? I am currently at a 105 and am still in second trimester. My doctor said they will continue to monitor my levels during this pregnancy and we will discuss more options if my levels continue to drop.
Prompted by the question above, what age do kids outgrow the play sets? Mine will be 6 and 8 in the fall and we are redoing our yard this summer. Backyard is small so not a ton of room to work with but the kids are begging for monkey bars. We’re definitely not getting a regular full size playset, but I’m tempted to put in something like a vuly play with monkey bars and a swing of some sort. Curious if anyone has tried that brand or has other recs for outdoor structures at this age.
Who here has a trampoline in their backyard? I think we’ve discussed trampoline parks here before (we’ve gone to, and hosted many a bday party at our local one) but I’m thinking of adding one to our yard. We never got the big playset and our kids (8 and 5.5) are on the way out of outgrowing this anyway. I think having somewhere to get their energy out (especially my older one) will be nice for the kids, and also when friends come over. I know there are safety concerns with these, but all the ones sold now have the mesh netting around, and I see so many of these in my neighborhood. I feel like the pros of getting their energy out, being outside and not on screens outweigh the cons for me but curious to see what others here think.
We’ll be traveling next month with a kid who’s finally old enough for a booster seat. What’s your favorite travel-friendly booster? We’re going to be driving a lot on this trip so I’d like to get something comfortable, rather than rely on the car rental company.
Do your kids call your friends “auntie”? Which friends and why?
My kids call my bestie from college “auntie firstname”– which she started immediately when they were born and it stuck. No other friends are called auntie; DH and I have siblings so the kids have 3 family aunties, plus lots of great-aunties. My childhood bestie is just “firstname,” despite our relationship being more like family for whatever that’s worth. Another friend just had a baby and refers to me as the baby’s “auntie firstname” which I find sweet. My kids do not call her “auntie” though which feels a little lopsided but I dont think it super matters that they reciprocate.
This is just funny for me because I have a very large extended family with lots of aunties and a culture where extended family older generation women are “auntie” even if theyre technically your cousin. I had never heard of friends being called aunties until having kids. Just curious for other folks’ experience!
What is your favorite oral rehydration solution for adults that doesn’t contain Splenda or other artificial sweeteners?
Can’t speak to teh Clek Liing, but we love our Clek Foonf (although it is a TANK) and will get the booster seat when the time comes. For the infant seat we opted for one that works in a stroller system (the Uppababy), and I have no regrets about that.
What’s your favorite post-mosquito-bite itch reduction product? My daughter and I are both super, super delicious to mosquitos. I currently have seventeen (!!) bites on my legs/ankles (they got me THROUGH MY LEGGINGS while I was outside at dusk last night). I’m generally pretty good about not itching but the second-grader has a bad habit of itching them til they bleed and I’d love to find something to help her. When I was a kid we used “Afterbite” but I’m not sure if that is still the gold standard…
(and yes, we also use a heavy-duty bug spray but sometimes we forget or they sneak through)
My 5 year old is making us scratch our heads recently. If you have a kid like this or who’s gone through phases like this, what helped??? We are so perplexed. Kiddo is finishing kindergarten in a couple weeks. So impulsive – just in the last few months really has it increased so markedly. If he’s playing kind of crazy/silly, cannot hear you if you talk to him and cannot stop if you tell him to because he either can’t hear or can’t process. Touches stuff he shouldn’t, or if you say “stop doing X” he definitely does it one more time. Yesterday he mooned his brother (???? Why????) while they were out running an errand for me in the neighborhood just the two of them. Hits a lot but not hard, just constantly whacking us. We always do consequences, very consistent, but honestly consequences seem to have no effect- it’s like he can’t control it. He definitely needs a ton of heavy work and big body movement but that doesn’t always calm him down. Monkey bars and crashing into his crash pad are a daily thing. When I led a class for him and his class as the “teacher,” he was a total disaster, jumping on me , running around the room etc. Notably, we have talked with his teacher and apart from ONE DAY when he hadn’t slept much his teacher has not noticed this at school. So maybe that’s good? Anyway if things continue to decline in first grade I suppose we’ll be doing adhd type testing but – any strategies that have worked for you?!???? How do you parent for impulsive behavior?
I’m hosting a birthday party for a 4 year old from 3-4:30 on a Sunday. I’ve usually just ordered pizzas for prior kids birthdays but I’m wondering if I can get away with something less than pizza during this time. There will be 10 kids plus parents and it’s at a kids play gym. Any suggestions for what to serve? There will be cake.
Trying again…
Any thoughts on the Clek Liing infant car seat? It seems to have great reviews, it has a load leg and rigid latch (which we definitely want), and there’s a flame-ret*rdant free fabric. Are there any downsides besides the price?

i have two kindergarteners (well at least for a few more days) who are nowhere close to ready for sleepovers. a few of their friends are going to overnight camp for like 3-4 nights this summer and some seem to have frequent sleepovers. and quite a few kids i know finishing first grade/rising second graders will be going to camp for two weeks out of state. i went to overnight camp as a kid for 3.5 weeks, but I started the summer after 3rd grade.are most kindergarteners comfortable with sleepovers?
First day in the 1 year old room at daycare and oh the tears. I had to run away before I started crying. Between that and not eating many solids I think it is going to be a rough week.
