I don’t have pierced ears, but these earrings caught my eye.
A series of connected pyramids make up these modern chandelier earrings. Made from sterling silver coated with 14k recycled gold, the multiple facets will catch both the morning light on the way to the office and candlelight at dinner afterwards. They’re perfect for jazzing up your favorite LBD or suit.
These earrings from Aurate are $180.

My 5 year old soon to be kindergartner doesn’t seem to get the concept of having more than one friend and cycles through who her one friend is fairly regularly. She only wants to play with whoever her friend du jour is, and can often be quite rude to other kids in the process. This post was prompted by her telling a former bestie “No I’m friends with X now” today when former bestie ran up to her at dropoff and sweetly asked if they could play together… :(
On the one hand, I’m glad she isn’t too dependent on one particular kid, which was a big issue for me as a kid. But this isn’t nice behavior and I’m also worried it’s going to backfire on her when other kids wise up to her behavior and don’t want to be her friend-of-the-week when she finally gives them that ‘honor.’ We’ve had multiple conversations about how you can have more than one friend, it’s ok to have a favorite friend but you can still play with people who aren’t your best friend and you should generally let anyone join in on group play unless they’re being mean or actively undermining the game. But it doesn’t seem to be getting through to her. Thoughts?
Flying with small kids is so painful! Had a 4 hour delay on my international flight (most of which has been sitting on the plane), and now the people sitting in front of my 2 year old keep giving us dirty looks. My son is behaving spectacularly (napping, eating relatively quietly, coloring, watching his tablet, and occasionally talking to me), but the guy in front is mad that my son’s coloring wobbles the tray on the back of his seat and that my son’s feet once touched the back of his seat. I’m doing my best to keep him calm, quiet, and entertained, but it’s completely impossible to get a 2 year old to stay as still as a statute for an international flight. Only 7 more hours to go.
where are your kids mattresses from? time to move on from the crib/toddler bed for a regular size
Anyone have a good recommendation for on-trend wide-leg tie-waist pants that fit like pajamas (elastic waist?) but that I can wear to work? I’ve ordered a couple and returned because they looked like clown pants on me, though I know some of this is just getting over the skinny leg pants of the last several years. Recommendations?
Late to school pickup because I got locked in the PTA office – a glorified cupboard… last day of school tomorrow and thank goodness!
Okay, calling Uncle.
3 year old used to be a good sleeper but since we moved her out of her crib (18 months ago at this point), she has needed someone laying with her to get to sleep. She also wakes up inconsolably sobbing at least 2 nights a week in the middle of the night and wakes up the baby. I don’t know if it’s nightmares or what but I sometimes literally splash cold water/cool washcloth on her face to snap her out of it.
We’ve done incentives, we’ve done sticker charts, she shares a room so she’s not alone, we’ve done nightlight, we’ve done pallet on the floor. We even tried to do both gentle and hard line CIO (and I don’t do CIO generally) and turns out that she will scream for 3-4 hours if we don’t basically lay with her and gently Pat her back for a looooong time. Melatonin helps initial sleep but not the wakeups.
I’ve had kids go through hard sleep times, but this is killing me. I don’t know what I’m looking for – books? Suggestions? Exorcisms?
