Yes, you still need sunscreen, even in winter!
This sunscreen has been my go-to since summer. In addition to SPF 30 protection, it also provides all-day hydration with prebiotic thermal water, ceramide-3, niacinamide, and glycerin. This lightweight lotion works for a range of skin types and under makeup.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer is $22.99 at Target.

Any kid-friendly recommendations in LA? We’re visiting friends in Studio City area and looking for activities that are good for toddlers (beyond the zoo). Thanks!
My daughter is going to be a flower girl in a wedding soon. She wears at size 24months/2T. Any advice on where to get fancy dresses for her? We are Gap/Old Navy/hand me down people most of the time, but want to get something nice. Only guideline from the bride is that the dress should be white or pink.
We gave eight-year-old DS a kindle paperwhite for kids for Christmas and he has been devouring books. My bookworm self loves this, but I’m struggling to keep up with good book ideas! He flew through all of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books this month. Suggestions for other books (series, preferably, so I don’t have to scramble again in a few days!)? He’s supposed to ask his school librarian today, but she typically picks from a list of grade-level books and he’s read them all…
Low stakes camp question. We only need two weeks of full day camp (non-consecutive, one in mid-June and one in late July). We know people going to both of the big full day camps in our area, and have heard conflicting opinions about which is better. I’m not sure if we should split the weeks or do both weeks at the same camp. I’m leaning towards splitting so my kid can sample both camps. I don’t think continuity is a big deal because the two weeks are so far apart. Does that make sense? Or would you pick one and do both weeks there?
And sort of related question, for a parks & rec or Y camp, would you put much weight on the weekly ‘themes’? My gut says no, but curious what others think.
I have a surprise business trip to Florence over spring break (beginning-mid of March where I live), and will take my family. Kid is 8 yrs old, seasoned traveller (family in Europe, been to London and some other cities with muesums and sightseeing).
Any tips for sights to see, playgrounds, parks, anything kid-friendly?
When you’re still recovering from your last miscarriage and your best friend (who is normally supportive) chooses you to hear her latest vent about how the newborn stage is hard…she has at least four other close friends who are new moms with living children she could talk to. If she weren’t struggling with what seems like severe postpartum anxiety, I’d be pretty tempted to just walk away for two months. I’m visiting her soon and can’t wait for it to be over with. That last part makes me sound like a jerk, I’m sure, but it’s the truth.
UGH, I thought I had done such a good job of setting up my daughter’s activities to give her several different social groups. But now the mean girl from school is in all of them. My daughter (4th grade) loved gymnastics, but now this girl is in her class and spent the class chatting with another kid about how clumsy my girl is. The other girl joined her scout troop this year and is quick to make a point out of excluding my daughter in groups whenever she can. The other girl is apparently signed up for the same summer camp that my daughter was so excited to go to. (Just randomly, I hadn’t mentioned it to the other parents, who seem oblivious to how mean she is.)
I’m really not sure how to navigate this – I don’t want to pull my daughter from activities she loves, but this girl is really like a dark cloud and seems to single out my kid to be mean to. Also this is fairly triggering for me as I spent a lot of elementary school actively trying to avoid a couple of mean girls. Advice?
Godspeed to everyone registering for summer camp this week!
i didn’t realize i had to book my daughters’ birthday party venue 3.5 months in advance. they were so excited that their bday is on a saturday and that they could have their party on their actual bday, but i guess not. i was also excited bc i didnt need to figure out what to do on their actual birthday. also- any party favor ideas for 50+ kids that won’t break the bank (i have twins in K and we feel the need to invite their whole class plus some outside of school friends, though i’m hoping this is the last year of the huge party)
I’ve tried to make a good effort to reduce the amount of new clothing I purchase for my two-year-old in light of the environment, but I’ve noticed that prices seem to be increasing at my usual online shops (Poshmark and ThredUp), to the point that it often costs the same or even more than it would if I purchased the exact same item in-store. The only “deals” seem to be items in sad shape. Am I missing something? Tips? The local thrift stores have a tiny, sad selection of worn out fast fashion when I’ve checked and the consignment shop by me is full of fancy occasion dresses and pretty light on everyday items (and I’m not super interested in paying $23 for a used tshirt…).
We are TTC for kid #2, and I’m looking for a new OB practice — wondering if y’all can help me think through the options. For kid #1, I went to an OB downtown near my office, since I was going to the office full time. That practice delivers at Hospital A (a non-religious teaching hospital), and I had a great experience. Now, I work from home most of the time, in a suburb 30 minutes from downtown (either on public transit or driving). I’d still like to deliver at Hospital A, since it was a great experience last time. I could stick with that practice, but I’d have to travel downtown a lot more. The OB practices near my house generally deliver at Hospital B, which is Catholic, or Hospital C, which is Adventist. Hospital B is 5 minutes from my house, and both A and C are about a 20 minute drive. Should I be worried about the religious aspect? Anything else to consider? Thank you!
My 9YO son was diagnosed with ADHD on Friday. You ladies are my go-to for the best resources, so please point me to your favorites: books, message boards, organizations, and, if you’re in the NOVA area (we’re in Arlington), therapists. My son has been seeing a therapist in Falls Church for general anxiety, but we’d love a specialist. Thanks all!
We are going away to the carribean for Feb break. My oldest needs summer clothes. Where can I find cute summer/resort wear and shoes for a 11 y/o girl in the next 2-3 weeks? She’s still in kids sizes, but barely. She’s 5’1 so could wear a Women’s XS dress as long as it works with no bust. She wears a womens size 7 shoe (kids 5.5). She doesn’t want to wear crocs, flip flops and gym shorts (I asked), though she does have a pair of Lulu shorts she’s fine with wearing with “the right cute top.”
