I love a spritz of refreshing rosewater to finish my makeup routine. I’m running out, so I’m going to pick up this one on my next shopping run.
Cocokind’s rosewater facial toner only has one ingredient: organic rosewater! This toner helps clean, smooth, and hydrate your skin. Use it like I do post-makeup or before — sprayed on a cotton pad to prep your skin for moisturizer.
This rosewater facial toner is $17.99 at Target.

Very random and very petty vent. We’ve been very fortunate to have extended family stopping by our house to meet our baby and older child when passing through our town in the last several months. I’ve noticed a pattern where basically if anyone is over the age of 50, they just do not take their shoes off before walking through our home. Granted we have a lot of hardwood flooring, so it’s not as clear of a delineation as a room of carpet. But I can’t figure out people assume they shouldn’t take off their shoes. We always take off our own shoes. Our older child always takes off hers. Our baby can now crawl, so anything on the floor is going to their hands and then their mouth.
When we’ve previously visited any of these other people’s home in the past, they obviously do not walk around in their own homes with shoes on, so we take ours off. We even have benches in our entry way dedicated to helping take off shoes and these are relatively healthy people who have no issues taking their shoes off.
Just curious if this is just unique to our family or common for other people too?
My SIL’s birthday is coming up and I’m drawing a blank on a gift. She is a working mom with a toddler. I honestly don’t know her super well (despite my efforts) and I can’t think of something generic and maybe trendy that she might appreciate. Budget is $50-$75. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Jumping off the pediatrician thread, my older child goes to a pediatrician that is no longer very close to our house, since we moved to a suburb a few years ago. We keep going to this doctor because we like the continuity, and the practice is large and highly regarded. However, we’re expecting child #2 and I’m considering using a practice that’s much closer to where we live. Would it be a bad idea to have two different pediatricians? Or should I (a) use our current practice for the new baby or (b) switch both to a new practice near us?
My third child is an outgoing joy with her family and anyone she knows well. Or even at school after the first couple weeks. But when she’s uncomfortable and in a new situation she tends to act sullen and be totally silent – she won’t answer basic, friendly questions directed to her by a parent’s friend, for example, and when doing an activity around strangers will be frowning and pretending she’s just putting up with it even though she wants to do it and later says it was fun. It’s a weird personality thing and I keep thinking she’ll outgrow it (she’s 5) but she’s not and it’s starting to hold her back. I think she gets invited on less playdates since she’s not friendly with adults even though she’s very popular with other kids at school, for example. Or she did not get into my older kids’ kindergarten because of behavior at the group test even though her current teacher’s recommendation was super positive.
We’ve tried motivating her with stickers, treats, anything. We’ve talked about how her behavior isn’t polite. I’ve also tried to be patient because it does seem to come from anxiety or her own innate personality. But I’m also getting pretty tired of it. (We have four kids so I tend to be pretty laidback on individual quirks!)
It occurred to me that maybe play therapy could help here? Any other ideas? Please be kind – I promise we’re experienced parents here, it’s just a personality quirk of my third I’m really struggling with! She’s a very happy kid and will tell you that. Just with her own family or people. I’m also okay with shyness, just not to the point where it comes off as rude!
Coming at you all with a happy story — we just returned from a 2 week trip with our three kids (ages 11, 9, and almost 5). It was absolutely lovely, and the only critique from my crew was that we wanted more time together — no one was ready to come home yesterday! We have slogged through years of vacations with managing baby and toddler needs/tantrums, and yes, our 5 year old still had his moments — but it was more downtime, good behavior at restaurants, and genuinely fun moments together than we’ve had in years.
But now the less fun — my weight has crept up over the last few years, and I find I am …. gassier than I used to be when I was 10 lbs lighter. Is this related? I don’t think I realized it until the last few weeks — possibly bc I had more downtime to notice how I feel (or possibly bc I was traveling with a 9 yr old boy who thought it was hilarious to hear me toot).
We’re calling pediatricians today to see if anyone has spots for our expected baby. Any must-ask questions or features? I was thinking about asking about an after hours call line, policy on vaccinations, and attitude towards combination feeding.
Has anyone here had a kid with scarlet fever? Ours has is and he is on his second round of antibiotics (to be fair; the first round was for the step and scarlet started after he finished his first round, so ped prescribed second round) and it’s not going away… we are on day 5 of antibiotics with zero improvement. Ped seems to think this is normal to take a while to go away but I am getting very worried and kid is beyond miserable.
Has anyone found any good solutions for middle of the night growing pains? My son was up from 2:30 to 5:30 with pain in his legs, despite grandma using a “magic potion” (magnesium spray) before bed. No injuries, he spent yesterday walking on the beach and playing basketball, but that’s not an unusual level of activitiy for him.
