Budget Thursday: Satya Zodiac Necklace

When I heard that T.J.Maxx had an online shopping presence, I was skeptical. Most of the fun of shopping there is the thrill of the hunt, which isn’t as fun when just using the scroll bar. However, my husband ordered a few things from there so I took a look. OK, so I was right that it wasn’t as fun, but they do have some decent finds. I really love this jewelry brand and would gladly pay full price for it, but tjmaxx.com carries a few of their pieces, including their Zodiac series. (Several of the zodiac signs are available, but if you don’t see yours, try Nashelle’s zodiac necklaces at Nordstrom — they’re $98 each.) The original price for this necklace is $98, and T.J.Maxx is selling it for $39.99 with free returns at your local store. Satya Zodiac Necklace

I don’t enjoy shopping at TJ Maxx and its ilk because I find zero joy in the hunt. To me, these stores are just giant, disorganized collections of stuff to wade through. I wear very popular clothing and shoe sizes, so there never seems to be anything good left in my size. I am also the type of shopper who is always on a mission to find a very specific item (right now it’s a short, fitted white blazer with no collar or buttons), and these stores are more suited to browsing for random items. For browsing, I’d prefer a well-curated boutique, but these seem to be few and far between. Nordstrom is about as big a store as I can deal with before getting totally overwhelmed.
Can someone let me know if this works for the under 2 set?
Also – Any experiences with the Mella Hippo clock or the Hatch wake up light? Thanks!
We unexpectedly had to move my 2-year old from his daycare center and are touring a few in-home daycares. He has only been in centers before, and I feel competent on what to ask when touring a center, which I will also ask the in-homes (closures, illness policy, meals, etc.), but I am wondering if there is anything specific I should be asking at an in-home daycare?
Apologies if this has been discussed already, but the stories about the unaccompanied migrant children, and the children being separated from their parents, at the border are just breaking my heart. Can anyone recommend any charities or reputable places to donate to help?
Recs for white noise machines for sleeping babies? I want something fairly low-tech (no wifi – we have been using the echo/alexa but it keeps randomly turning off at night) and easy to travel with. My preferred sounds are brown noise or box fan sounds.
For the pregnant poster who was asking about having her mom come stay with her the other day — my mom sounds very similar to you (down to using the exact phrase “postpartum euphoria” to describe her own birth experience…I would swear we’re siblings, but I’m an only child). I love her dearly, but I normally can’t spend more than 48 hours visiting with her before she starts annoying me. But she stayed two weeks when my daughter was born and it was SO SO SO SO helpful. My husband also went back to work immediately and I would not have survived without my mom. No matter how good a sleeper your baby will eventually be, she will wake up to feed every 2-3 hours in the beginning. A two hour interval goes by in the blink of an eye if you have to feed, burp, do a diaper change and rock the baby to sleep. On the other hand, if you can just feed the baby and hand her off to your mom for all that other stuff, you can get a solid 1.5-2 hour stretch of sleep (or longer if you’re not EBFing and someone else can feed the baby). My mom was also super helpful around the house and did lots of cooking, cleaning and laundry. We could have hired that stuff out but it was nicer and more convenient to have my mom doing it. And unlike hired help, she basically waited on me hand and foot, bringing me water and snacks while I nursed, helping me nurse (it’s really a two person job in the beginning), bringing things to me when I didn’t want to get up (I had a fairly easy v delivery but I still wasn’t super mobile the first week or so). If your mom is offering this, and you think she will be helpful around the house, I would absolutely do it! (You should, however, definitely turn away guests who won’t pull their weight in terms of housework, which is why my in-laws didn’t meet the baby until she was 6 weeks old).
The discussion yesterday of the rude comments made me think, and I wanted to share/solicit input. On the main s*te, I would have automatically scorched or dismissed anyone I viewed as rude or disrespectful. On this s*te, though, I worry that the commenting body is generally under an immense amount of stress and has a high likelihood of PPA/PPD that might be triggering less respectful commenting behaviors. I know while I was pregnant and postpartum, I posted some comments that I am not proud of and wish I could retroactively delete.
Which is just to say…I wish there was a requirement to populate a screen name other than Anonymous, but I hesitate to blanket ban commenters who fall outside the normal boundaries of this s*te’s respect levels, because we can’t tell if they are trolls or folks who most need a community that can practice forgiveness.
I love shopping and I felt irritated when items in the shop are not organized. Good for you that you found a jewelry brand in spite of the experience you had.
