Splurge or Save Thursday: Soyoung T-Shirt

Yes, you can probably get several T-shirts for the price of one of these, but let me explain why I’d rather have just one perfect shirt than several meh ones.
This shirt is made from soft, Peruvian pima cotton. The ribbed knit provides a little stretch, and the fit is figure-skimming, but not overly tight. My personal favorite features are what I’ll call the “mini scoop neck” and bracelet sleeves.
I’ve had mine for several months and it still looks great. (I wash it in a garment bag and hang dry.) I’m looking forward to adding a few more colors!
M.M. LaFleur’s Soyoung T-Shirt is $75 and comes in seven colors. (I have “huckleberry.”) It’s available in sizes XS–XXL. You can also bundle and save by buying any two or more M.M. LaFleur T-shirts.

DH’s aunts and cousins are organizing some last-minute lunch on Mother’s Day. I … do not enjoy these people’s company. It’s okay if I say “heck no, it’s Mother’s Day and I want to see my own mom and maaaaybe even celebrate myself,” right? It’s just infuriating. They just make these assumptions that every in-law is going to fall in line and doesn’t have a family of their own.
We moved to a new neighborhood and don’t have any babysitters in our rotation right now. My husband booked a sitter through Care.com for this weekend — he just picked someone that looked nice, had a background check, was vaccinated, etc. I googled her, and texted a bit with her today and she seems fine, but what else should we be checking before she comes over?
I’m shaking I’m so mad – so talk me down if you think this isn’t that big a deal. I work from home part time so I do a lot of childcare things along with our nanny. After I put the baby down for her 1st nap, I handed the monitor to the new nanny and said I was going to sleep after a rough night. I wake up and see that she has texted me while I was asleep that she is taking the preschooler outside and to tell her if the baby wakes up. I check the nest cam and see that the baby was awake and crying for twenty minutes before nanny came and got her. If the nanny had asked, I would have told her that monitor still works in the yard. What do I do here? We don’t love this nanny for a number of reasons but she’s… adequate. Until now.
Talk to me about vasectomies. DH has expressed that he is one and done since LO was born. And yet he is hesitant about having a vasectomy, without providing any justification. I used to think I wanted multiple kids, but after the past two years I don’t know how I’d handle it and I am content with the joy of my one. And I would like the certainty of a choice and some responsibility on him, especially in the current environment.
Talk to me about room sharing. We’re in a two story with master down and three bedrooms up. Two of the bedrooms up are tiny(10×10): one is designed as a MIL suite so we use that for guests. My 5 year old is in the biggest room upstairs. My 15 month old twins are currently separate due to sleeping issues/illness: one crib in mil suite, one in 10×10 room. I’m thinking when they turn two though I might let them room share with my will-be-six year old. Is that a terrible idea? He has a twin-over-full bunk bed currently and he said he’d like to share his room…but he’s also five, so you know, some days he wants to be a horse too. Thanks for any advice!
PSA for quarantiners: a bunch of toys are 50% off at target today. The deal showed up on the front page of the app for me.
Blarg, we’ve all got COVID over here. No one feels terrible but no one feels great either and I’m feeling guilty we gave it to my mom and my sister’s two little kids (although I guess who really knows).
Hi Hive! My almost 8 year old daughter is really interested in trying out for travel soccer. She has done a few seasons in our local rec league and seems ready to advance. I have never played a sport, actually have tried to avoid them as much as possible. So, tell me, what is travel soccer about? The program has several info sessions and tryouts that we will attend, but I would love to hear your experiences. I am guessing that no one from my daughter’s school will join this team, so she will not know anyone. Also, the program does not mention how far we have to travel or if we will be staying overnight. We also have a 5 year old boy who is not as into soccer and I wonder what the experience will be like for him, so far we try to do everything together as a family. Thanks, all!
I’m trying to be on the ball for summer. For little kids going to day camp, does anyone have a towel rec that is easier for a small 4 yo to carry back and forth in a backpack? I was planning to send with a regular beach towel, but am wondering if anyone has found something that would be lighter/smaller that isn’t super expensive.
