Accessory Tuesday: Shoreditch Oversize Aviator Sunglasses

Aviator sunglasses are my favorite. If I needed another pair for my collection, I’d add these from Kurt Geiger London.
These oversized, 62 mm sunglasses have a modern sloping teardrop shape. The sleek metal frames are universally flattering, while the non-slip nose pads keep them in place. Available in three lens/frame combos (check out the rainbow ones), you’ll be sure to find your perfect pair.
These aviators start at $99 at Nordstrom.

What are you getting your DHs for Father’s Day?
We are thinking of taking our newly turned 4yo to Great wolf lodge in the fall. He loves the water. It looks like a lot of the height limits are 42″. Do they really enforce that for things like the main play structure and lazy river etc? I understand having that on the big slides, but the ones designed for smaller kids? He’ll be pretty close to that height by then. Maybe a couple inches short. It’s not especially cheap so I don’t want to go, and then find out he can’t do majority of the activities.
Anybody a room mom and/or have gotten told what the room mom bought as an end of year present?
I’m way behind and the last day of school is Friday. 5th grade teacher who is in her mid-40s with twin teenagers at home. They are a ski family that also has a beach house. She’s been a 4th or 5th grade teacher for like…20 years. We are a wealthy school district and she lives in-town. Budget is $250. I’m capped at $100 in cash or gift-card per district gifting rules. What else can i get her that will be here by Friday? And $100 GC to….?? Plant store? She doesn’t strike me as a mani/pedi type woman. I’d do a restaurant but $100 isn’t really enough for a family of 4.
Has anyone tried the Kizit “hands free” sneakers? Do they live up to the hype? Or, other recommendations for summetime slip on sneakers that don’t require sitting down to put them on?
Has anyone read Bad Therapy by Abigail Shrier? I’m reading it now based on a rec from the main board, and wow, it really dissects a number of themes over the past decade that make me uncomfortable but unable to voice those opinions out loud.
Examples like: the 3 counselors I’ve seen in the past 5 years suggest divorcing within a session or two, my toddler hitting or hurting me out of frustration and I’m supposed to be nice and take it (“battered mother syndrome”), and the focus on ACE scores and trauma, this coming from someone with a high ACE score.
I’m not suggesting my boomer parents had it right with lots of neglect, responsibility for siblings at a young age, and taking out their frustrations on us is the answer but I don’t love the Dr. Becky approach and cancel culture either. I’m saying this as someone who votes D and is generally a pretty liberal person.
Looking for family friendly activities in Seattle with a 11 months old and a soon-to-be 5 year old boy.
Also restaurant recommendations, it’s our first time there:)
Inspired by the post yesterday about the grandmother being overprotective and hovering on the playground, I’ve really struggled with some of the excessive anxiety and worries that some people I know have about routine childhood activities, like climbing a ladder at a playground, swimming (supervised), and riding bikes. Don’t even get me started on the whole sub-genre of people who worry about 12-year-olds staying home alone for 20 minutes. Sometimes I feel like I can’t even say benign things like “we had so much fun on the ski trip” without a lecture on safety from people who usually aren’t familiar with the safety precautions we take or our approach to risk. Striving for absolute safety isn’t safe to me – it has its own risks, and not the fun kind. What can you say in the moment when people are criticizing your parenting in this way? They seem to think criticism is justified if it’s in the name of anxiety, but really, it’s not (and neither is sexism).
I need to pack am and pm snacks for summer camp and I’m drawing a blank (previously daycare and aftercare provided snacks). I’d like for it to include fat and/or but it needs to be nut-free. Kid is weird about cheese, but would eat pepperoni at every meal (which I’d like to avoid). What works for you all?
