I have a huge warehouse-club stack of Dove soap in my closet — you can say I’m a longtime fan. But on the go, I prefer body wash, so their version will be in my cart shortly.
Dove’s Sensitive Skin Hypoallergenic Body Wash (like their bar soap) gently cleans and envelops your skin with moisture. It’ll leave your skin soft, smooth, and silky for hours. Decant a little of this gentle cleanser into travel bottles for travel or the gym.
This body wash is $8.99 at Target.

just wanted to say thank you to the folks who responded to my question about 11 week pregnant OB appointment! I just got back from the appointment and heard the heartbeat and got some ultrasound pictures of baby, who is moving around a lot and measuring great! i did have a lot of blood taken for genetic testing so it was good to know that was coming.
thank you for the reassurance. it’s my first and i’m pretty nervous about the whole thing for whatever reason, so i really appreciate having this board to ask questions to in this strange time before i have told others in my life. going to start with telling my parents over labor day weekend!
Has anyone done a mixed gender sleepover party for kids, or thought about it and decided not to? DD (turning 7) is set on a sleepover and she has a few boys on the list when I asked her to make a list of 15 or so kids to invite to her bday. I know the norm is to keep sleepovers same gender, but I really struggle with the messaging that sends and when I was about to tell her we would only invite the girls, I realized before starting that I didn’t have a good reason (or at least one that I liked the sound of) to tell her.
To be clear, DH and I don’t have concerns about inviting the boys too – these kids are 7 not 17, will be watched the whole time (no basement or the like), and in any case plenty of people aren’t straight so I don’t think single gender parties eliminate concerns about…exploratory activity. But I struggle with whether parents of daughters would expect to receive a heads up if there would be boys present, and whether I’m missing something that would make this a bad idea. We are in a pretty liberal community so I don’t think it would be crazy. Also, we are building in an option for any parents who don’t do sleepovers to pick up at bedtime, esp since this is a pretty young age to have overnights.
Last minute Bday planning help needed! DS turns 7 in two weeks and we haven’t planned anything. I was thinking to invite his best friends (from his class) for a get together in our backyard. Pizza and cake. Do I need to buy/rent something to entertain the kids? Or do I let them play and figure out entertaining themselves? Thanks
tonight we have meet the teacher for kindergarten. please send good vibes my way as i have two very nervous 5 year olds who often get overwhelmed by loud noises/big crowds, and this elementary school has ~850 students with all of the parents, etc. it is sure to be a lot of people. i liked their preschool better where we met the teacher on a Tuesday and then started the following day because I think the next 3 days until Monday are going to feel like an eternity
How do Kids These Days listen to music?
We are on a beach vacation and I’m realizing that when I was 10, I had a discman and later an mp3 player. Is there a modern equivalent that is not a $1000 iPhone with $250 AirPods?
I do have an old phone (6s) but the battery runs down super fast. And I don’t really want to give her a phone. Just a music player.
Boy names! Carter, Cole, Cameron, Callum. Pick two
I am a finalist for a position in my industry at a location in a neighboring state. This is exciting and in line with what I want for my career (it would also be at least a 40% pay raise), but I am struggling with the logistics. My kids just started kindergarten and fourth grade, and moving them mid-year feels daunting. I’m also not sure how soon we would be able to buy a house, given the market, and I am feeling overwhelmed by even the potential of sorting through these things, especially if I am going to be expected to start at this potential new employer ASAP. Any words of wisdom or encouragement? None of this may come to pass, of course, but I’m trying to prepare myself for the various possibilities.
For people who have kids with september birthdays- how do you think about birthday party invites? My middle child is in 1st grade & just started school today. His birthday is in less than 3 weeks. I’m currently planning his birthday party & trying to figure out who to invite (it’s at a bowling alley, so don’t necessarily have a hard headcount limit, but there is a substantial cost to each additional person). Would you do last years class? This year’s class? there’s some overlap in the kids. Most other parties at this school are at a park/playground/ someone’s backyard, so they tend to be whole class type events.
We don’t have a big enough backyard to hold a party and I don’t have the time/energy to coordinate a park party.
I paid our last ever daycare bill this morning!! We’re being responsible and diverting the money to savings but it still feels like a milestone worth celebrating.
