Accessory Tuesday: The Briar Earrings

With all the focus on our shoulders upward thanks to Zoom, bold earrings are a chic way to make a statement. Although my own ears aren’t pierced, I’d consider piercing them for the Briar earrings from M.M.LaFleur.
These eye-catching earrings are perfect for getting out of a fashion rut. They’ll instantly update everything from your favorite white T-shirt to your board meeting–ready silk blouse.
They come in four rich colors (I’m partial to julep, a dark green) that will add a pop of color to your work or weekend wear.
The Briar earrings are $50 and come in indigo blue, jasper (dark red), julep, and turquoise.

Just curious, about how much is expected to gift your cousin for high school graduation? My mom said she thinks her dad gave me $200 for my graduation, which of course I don’t remember because it was 15 years ago. I was thinking I’d send her $50 but not trying to be a cheap skate.
Any tips for a low key covid safe bday gathering for a 2 yo?
My daughter’s bday is coming up and I’d love to organize a little something for her at a local playground with daycare friends. We’ve been SO cautious but this feels relatively safe now that we (and most of the other parents) are fully vaccinated and the kids are together at school anyway.
Any tips? What type of treats make the most sense? I’d normally go all out but want to keep it low key and avoid unnecessary germ issues. (So no candle blowing!)
Would love to hear how others planned similar gatherings.
I tripped and face planted this weekend while doing yard work and scratched up my forehead pretty badly.. just in time for a ton of client video calls early this week. Hoping my makeup trickery and hair covers it up until I can be a hermit again for it to heal. So my week is off to a great start.
Hi – can anyone recommend a good vacation destination for very young kids for this summer coming from DC area? Here’s what we want: (1) able to social distance (so not Ocean City); (2) little kid friendly swimming at either a chill beach or lake; (3) a two hour drive or under from DC area; (4) ability to rent a house or condo. Thanks!
I have a Mockingbird stroller, and part of the frame broke so they are sending me a new one (great customer service!). They now offer a single-to-double convertible frame, along with a single frame. They’re offering to upgrade me to the convertible for free. I have only one kid, and we likely won’t start trying for a second for a bit. What I’m asking is, should I go ahead and get the double convertible even if I’m not sure if/when we’ll have a second, because you never know and also for resale value?
My 6 year old came down with a stomach bug over the weekend. Fever from Sat afternoon to Sunday evening, throwing up Saturday afternoon, headache, etc. I took her to the doctor yesterday, who confirmed it was a stomach bug. She’s been drinking fluids pretty steadily, but is barely eating. Since Saturday morning, she’s had a piece of toast, a banana, two popsicles, and a few bites of this and that (rice, PBJ, applesauce). Not very much food for a three day span. The doctor said, well, she’ll eat when she is hungry, but I’m worried anyway! I don’t see how she can get better if she doesn’t eat at all. She has been resting mostly, but still . . . am I worried about nothing?
Talk to me about potty training for #2. DD was #1 trained in basically a day, a few weeks ago, 6 weeks before her third birthday. Easy breezy, to be honest.
#2 is killing us slowly. I recognize they’re different skills, so I never expected they’d be at the same time. She’s not afraid of the potty or of going. She’s well hydrated, no signs of constipation. She knows she should go in the potty but just doesn’t. It’s very obvious to us when she needs to go – she has a set of actions she takes ahead of going (most of the time) and when we pick up on it, we know it’s coming. But if we whisk her away to the potty and put her on it, she just doesn’t go no matter how long we leave her on it, it seems. Things we’ve tried: (1) treats (2) major celebrations/excitement (3) daniel tiger/other children’s programming to normalize it (4) tablet, which she just gets lost in and doesn’t go.
Thinking we should reinvigorate the general celebration/treat-giving which worked like a charm for #1. Also wondering if we should just leave her on the potty with the tablet for as long as it takes…. but then we could be talking about 45+ mins. Any other ideas?
