Organizing Thursday: Rotating Jewelry Box

My oldest was using my childhood jewelry box, which is a little worse for wear. So, she saved up her birthday/Christmas money and picked out this new one for her growing collection of baubles.
This rotating jewelry box has six drawers, additional ring and earring storage in the back, and two side cabinets for hanging necklaces. The lid has a built-in mirror and an attached ribbon to keep it from flipping back. My kid immediately moved all her jewelry into her new box and still has room for more.
This jewelry box is available at Amazon and starts at just over $40. It comes in 10 colors and finishes, and there’s an extra large version as well.

Late to the party today, but I will vouch for this product. My daughter has this jewelry box and loves it. It has tons of space (and she uses it to store hair stuff too, Lydia!).
Ideas for a Fourth of July-centric vacation with a one year old? DH is super patriotic and would like to attend some celebration of our country’s 250 years. But neither of us is a fan of super huge crowds, so I think DC and probably Philly are out. Are any of the national parks having events around that time? Or maybe some place like Williamsburg or Gettysburg? We’re coming from the east coast but open to flying; the baby will be able to get his MMR by then. We usually take one to two weeks for our summer vacation.
I am drowning.
Just got the dreaded ‘sick kid’ call from school and picked DD up with a fever and body aches. We are supposed to be out of town for the long weekend. At work I am doing more and more with less and less, in a mostly meaningful job I’d enjoy more if it didn’t feel like the work of three employees, all while not getting even a COL raise and worrying about being AIed out of a job. The best thing I can say right now is that work pays me enough to afford to donate each week to mutual aid and rent relief. (Tom Homan announced today that the ICE surge in MN is ending, whatever that means without numbers and actions, and I am not willing to trust a word until my neighbors are safe.) Plus ordinary travel and house things and kid activities and providing kids – my own and other people’s – with a few shreds of normalcy and stability.
I don’t think of myself as particularly anxious or dramatic – it just feels like a lot. Joining others here to scream into the void.
I have 2 kids- my oldest is almost 4 and my youngest is 18 months. My family loves to go for walks with our double stroller. However, the double stroller is getting way too heavy in our hilly neighborhood and I am struggling to push it uphill. My husband usually helps with the hills, but when I go for walks with just my kids it is a struggle. I am thinking the next step is to get my 4yo used to riding a scooter or a bike longer distances and I can push my youngest in the single stroller. Any other suggestions? I’ve seen those hoverboard attachments, but I think that might be too heavy to push the single stroller uphill with my daughter riding on the board.
I feel like winter is destroying my skin. Anyone have a good oil or moisturizer they keep stashed in their work desk? TIA.
Mostly just screaming into the void. My husband has been having some major health issues since early January. It was very scary (life threatening) and I’m having my own trauma response to what I saw (in therapy). He’s still struggling daily. My kids daycare has been unexpectedly closed this week. My daughter just had a specialist appointment and they want to run a bunch of tests/imaging. I just need a freaking break.
What’s a good valentine’s day activity that I can prepare on short notice for myself, my preschooler, and my mother? We have the day free unexpectedly, so am going to bring my daughter to see my mother, but I don’t think there’s much going on in the neighborhood and I assume restaurants will be packed. Weather won’t be good enough to go to the park so I was thinking maybe a craft at the house.
I am overwhelmed by my tween and teen children’s laundry. Before anyone comes at me for raising helpless kids, they know how to do laundry. It’s probably a 50/50 split between when they do it, and when I do it. Honestly, sometimes it’s just easier to keep the cycle moving myself and have them put their stuff away when it’s done. Or they need something specific for a school event, so I end up adding in our laundry to fill a load, which means more sorting on the back end.
Anyway, there are several pain points.
– Both have become downright slobs in actually using the hampers in their rooms, and it is making me insane. They are in impossible-to-miss locations, and yet they throw dirty clothes all over their rooms anyway. Then I turn into the grouchy parent who is yelling at them to clean it up already.
– 3/4 of us are wearing adult-sized clothing so the laundry piles up even faster.
– Relatedly, their kid-sized dressers fill up FAST, so we’ve been hanging up more stuff in their closets. Hangers are yet another step that my children see as unnecessary and you see where this is going.
– Uniforms and special concert clothes require their own laundering routine.
– I hate our narrow laundry room. There’s not a ton of space to fold more than one load of laundry at a time, which means that I get behind unless I take it into our bedroom and spread out there.
– The tween’s clothes are too big for child-sized hangers but too small for adult hangers, unless it’s a hoodie or something oversized.
If you can solve any of these problems, I would love your ideas. I was on top of the laundry when they were little and I could manage the whole process. And the clothes were smaller, if messier. They also were much better at cleaning up after themselves when they were younger. That bugs me so much. DH and I have TRIED to teach them to take care of their stuff, and I swear it’s getting worse, not better. That said, I get that they are much busier and laundry is NOT how they want to spend their time!
Anyone have a kid with obstructive sleep apnea? Were there very distinctive signs? We’ve been referred to the respiratory sleep clinic but the waitlist is ages, and the doctor suggested he might outgrow the night terrors, etc, prior to getting in. He’s a bit of a snorer, but the real concern is increasingly rough night terrors.
does anyone have advice for organizing hair bows and headbands? for my daughter, not me! right now they are just overflowing a small plastic bin on the counter, which is probably not the best solution…
I could use some solidarity. I am just so exhausted trying to balance two little kids, two careers, minor house repairs or work (not even big Reno’s but like remembering to pay the cleaning service or being home to let a plumber in), constantly shoveling snow, managing illnesses, etc.
