Winter is getting real. While it’s unrealistic for your kids to wear snow pants all the time, these cozy fleece leggings might be an easier way to keep their legs warm.
These cute toddler leggings from Gap have a comfortable elastic waist and are made from a soft knit with a cozy fleece lining. They’re also made with over one-third recycled polyester. They come in six fun prints/solids, so pick up a few pairs for the rest of winter.
These leggings are $34.95 full price, but some lucky colors/sizes are on sale for just a few dollars!

My baby will not stop pooping. There is nothing medically wrong with her – she just poops a lot and has a lot of blowouts. I thought she would have grown out of it by now, but she’s 10 months old. Anyway, can anyone recommend diaper brands that might do a better job of containing the damage? She’s in Huggies and they’re already sized up. They worked great for my other kid but I guess she has a special butt.
Have you used pull ups during potty training? If so, how long was your kid in pull ups before moving to underwear? I’ve been trying to stick to the Oh Cr*p method, which is against using pull ups, saying that they lengthen potty training indefinitely. But after too many accidents at daycare we decided to put DS in pull ups while at school only (and diaper at night). DH and teachers seem relieved that I finally caved on this.
LOVED your week in the life substack!!!! Keep ’em coming!
Sippy cup question: My almost-12-month-old has a sippy cup issue. When she uses her 360 cup, she takes in WAY too much water/milk and then spits half of it out, basically soaking herself. She LOVES to drink out of it, but it’s such a mess. She’s a little better with her Oxo straw cup, but not much. Any chance one of your babies had this problem and you found a magical sippy cup that solved the issue? I’m sure it would resolve itself naturally with time (it’s been happening since we introduced cups two months ago) but I’m really hoping to drop her bottles altogether at the end of next week and it would be nice to feel a bit more confident in her cup skills by that point.
Cb, thanks for recommending the Stella Rimington Liz Carlyle series. I’m getting them out of the library and really enjoying them! -Mary Moo Cow
My 3.5 year old has had a couple of big tantrums at daycare where he rolls around on the floor and tries to throw things. He almost never does this at home, and when he starts to it’s not hard to redirect to a different activity, or snack, or going outside or whatever. I feel like school is such a different environment that I’m not sure what to tell the teachers when they ask what we do at home. I’m worried they’ll kick him out if he has another big meltdown at school. Any advice?
One of my kids is home sick today (but is mostly well – he threw up yesterday). We have been hanging out and playing games. Now he’s watching TV while I work. It is amazing to only have the one kiddo around. With his brother also here, it sometimes feels like it is solely them competing for my attention.
For anyone looking for a spill-proof bed water, highly recommend the Re-Play sippies. We used to use the Tervis ones, which were magical, but our lids got too chewed up after years of use and they stopped making them. I tried Funtainers, which are our daytime water bottles of choice, but they do leak a tiny bit because my kids screw around with them and they end up upside down or on their sides. You can do anything to the Re-Play ones and not a drop comes out. Bonus, they’re under $4.
I think I suffer from “mom rage” (maternal anger). I have a 2 year old and 6 month old… since my younger child was born I find myself getting very angry/ragey. I was never an “angry” person so this behavior has just caught me so off guard and I feel out of control when it happens. The anger is nearly always directed at my husband who I often lose patience with (despite having a difficult toddler – amazing I never get angry at him). I find myself yelling, my heart races, I even curse occasionally (which is very uncharacteristic of me). I feel like my frustration is justified, but I need to change how I am responding.
I take on nearly all of the mental load in our household – chores are split 30/70ish. Weekday childcare falls largely on my due to our work schedules but he is very involved on weekends and when he’s home during the week. I’ve tried having many conversations with him about sharing responsibilities more equally – and he’s taken on some additional chores, etc but we haven’t made much progress.
Maybe therapy is the answer – but has anyone else experienced this and have any tips/strategies I can implement in the short term? I don’t want to yell anymore. I want to take control of my behavior/emotions.
My kids love similar leggings from Carters and Cat&Jack. Softer than jeans but warmer than cotton leggings!
Where do you buy your tank tops? I keep using my old maternity ones from Target, but in some outfits, the extra long length looks bad. Just need basic white/black, not built in bras or anything.
We have similar pairs from Lindex for school uniforms (black bottoms, polo shirts, leggings seem fine for the little ones) and my son loves them. They keep him warm en route to school and are easy to layer under snowpants/rain pants if we need to.
