As you may know, my family loves playing Sushi Go! The makers of Sushi Go! now have a board game where you collect sets of dim sum!
The goal is to build a menu with the most points. Collect menu items from the basket in front of you or use your chopstick tokens to rotate the spin table and choose a different dish. There’s even a squishy steamed bun that you cannot help but squeeze.
Sushi Go! Spin Some for Dim Sum is $19.99 at Target.

Any advice for lodging or activities in Big Sur with elementary age kids? Or other places within a few hours’ drive of the Bay Area that would be good with kids for a few days?
We loved Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite because it had an awesome game room and a decent restaurant for when we weren’t in Yosemite. Hoping to go somewhere new.
DS advanced to the next class at his preschool six months ago, and drop offs have almost always been rough since then. He cries, screams, and throws himself on the floor. The class is twice as big as his last class so it may be overwhelming for him, plus he’s one of the smallest in the class. There are some fights over toys but I am sure the teachers/staff intervene most of the time. He’s an only child so there are no fights over toys at home. Dropoffs have gotten even worse since we came back from a long vacation last week. He now takes his coat off the hook and throws it on the floor, and he wedges himself in the open door to the classroom so we can’t close it. He’s been sick this past week and today is his first day back to school, and it was another rough dropoff. Later in the day we get videos where he is smiling and having fun. So do we just keep going and hope dropoffs get better eventually? We will also get advice from the teachers, but is there anything else we should do?
Going to a birthday party for twin 2-year olds next week. I asked their mom (my cousin) what they need/want, and she said “clothes and educational toys.” I will get them mostly clothes and one toy. (They have a small house and I know they have lots of toys and will get even more from friends and family). I think most toys are educational, but I think my cousin wants toys to help with their language skills because they are a bit behind in verbal communication (not talking yet). Any toys that you suggest?
what’s the best party favor you’ve gotten from a birthday party? 2nd grade boys and girls. We did mad libs last year, a book the year before and the best one we have gotten from others is water bottle w/ the child’s name on it but I don’t have that kind of organization in me. Any other suggestions?
As I’ve been going through my closet and figuring out what I need for spring/summer, I’m very curious how much “weekend” clothing other moms own. I feel like I might as well put the most effort into my work wardrobe because I wear business casual clothing 4-5 days a week (no jeans). It’s not fun, but it’s my lifestyle. On the evenings and for a good chunk of the weekend, I’m in athleisure because I’m either hanging out at home, running errands, or doing kid activities. So that means I’m really only picking out cute, casual outfits for church and the occasional outing with a friend. Is it time to admit that all the cute insta-influencer outfits are not a fit for my real, actual life? I can so easily get sucked into buying for my fantasy lifestyle. It’s not like I couldn’t wear cute outfits on weekends, but after spending the whole week in work clothes, I just want to be comfortable without looking too slovenly.
The FedEx lady just sang a song while she walked up to my door to drop a package. It made me smile. What’s brightening your Friday?
As of noon today, I officially have summer plans all finalized. Woohoo!
