I don’t wear bracelets often, but this one really caught my eye.
This sculptural bangle looks like a linked bracelet, but it’s cast from recycled sterling silver. With its 3/8″ width, you could wear it alone as a subtle finishing touch or as part of a stack. If silver isn’t your color, it also comes in gold.
Monica Vinader’s Signature Recycled Sterling Silver Link Bangle is $395 at Nordstrom. The 18k gold vermeil version is $450.

I’ve posted before about my younger kid’s speech delay. Older kid was just so, so verbal. I was looking at old videos of older kid at younger kid’s current age (almost 3), and older kid was like “This is a brontosaurus with a big tail. The other dinosaurs are upstairs.” Meanwhile, I’m trying to get younger kid to say “I want ___” when asking for something vs just grunting the words.
I know ultimately comparing is terrible, and younger kid has plenty of words, puts together phrases, and will likely be fine. Plus we start private ST next week (did not qualify for early intervention).
Sharing as a vent, and if anyone has any similar experiences with 2+ kids re differences, please share!
My 5 year old has developed an obsession with being “rich” – it feels like lately all she does is talk about how she wants to be rich when she grows up and how she wishes we were rich so we could “give her a better life” (she’s used those exact words!). I know ‘rich’ is subjective, but we are by any definition very comfortable and she has a really nice life. We aren’t surrounded by people who are way richer than us; if anything, we have more than our neighbors and her classmates. This is just a phase and we should mostly ignore it, right? We do sometimes talk with her about how we may be able to afford something but not choose to spend money on it because we have other spending priorities and we need to also save money for the future. She has an allowance and generally has done a good job dealing with disappointment when she doesn’t have enough saved to buy a particular toy, but apparently she thinks her overall standard of living should be higher, lol.
how can i help my K daughter feel more comfortable asking for help at school? she has a wonderful supportive teacher. Yesterday morning during ‘carpet time’ my daughter lost her first tooth that had been loose. she said she was bleeding and I asked her if she went to get a tissue. And she said no, it was during circle time and you can’t get a tissue then, or asked if she told her teacher and she said no bc you aren’t supposed to raise your hand then. I obviously realize this is not a major health emergency or anything like that, and I also don’t care that she physically lost the tooth and didn’t bring it home with her. It also isn’t just this. She also says that she doesn’t raise her hand to ask a question during circle time because she “can’t think of any questions that will help grow her brain”. Her school is an IB school and so very focused on inquiry based learning, and figuring out what it means to be curious. How can I help her feel more comfortable with this?
I recently posted about experiencing a miscarriage. To really cap off that experience, I’m now being assessed for a partial molar pregnancy due to the nature of the chromosomal abnormality our baby had (so basically I felt relief at having an answer for about 4 seconds until I heard about the partial molar risk). I have an appointment coming up in about 10 days with an MFM geneticist. Long shot, but has anyone gone through this and do you have suggestions for what questions to ask? I’m having trouble organizing my thoughts with all the recent stress. The obvious one is how can we plan for future pregnancies…
Looking for anecdata on heavy bleeding during pregnancy. I’m 12 weeks pregnant and had a huge gush of blood (like standing in a puddle huge) followed by a few days of a slow trickle. I was absolutely convinced I had miscarried. Ultrasound the next day showed baby growing right on track and looking as content as could be, which was the biggest relief of my life. However, it didn’t show any source of the bleeding and my OB can’t figure out what could have caused it. The uncertainty is freaking me out, and I’m a little afraid to go about my day to day life in case it happens again. Wondering if anyone else went through something similar during pregnancy and if you were able to figure out the cause.
Hanna Andersson is offering an extra 10% off their friends and family sale with code Friends10 (all caps) in case anyone else’s kids hit a growth spurt and suddenly need all new clothes.
To the poster who shared her struggles with her DH and her mental health yesterday: I am thinking of you and rooting for you (and your sweet daughter), as are many others in this online community.
Please let us know how you are doing today, and what other help we can provide. You are not alone.
