Splurge or Save Thursday: Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Wash

Here’s one of my favorite French drugstore finds, thankfully available stateside.
This cream cleanser from LaRoche-Posay is gentle enough for daily use. It helps your skin retain moisture and its protective barrier while removing everything you don’t want. It even works for sensitive skin. Trying new products can be fun, but sometimes keeping things simple is best.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Wash is $14.99 at Target.

Tips for giving bad tasting medicine? My strong, stubborn three year old does not like the antibiotics we just got for her ear infection – she’s usually a great medicine taker so this is a new challenge! I tried mixing it with applesauce, squirting it and following with a spoonful of nutella, having her watch a TV show… this morning I ended up holding her down and she held it in her mouth until i let go and ran and spit it out in the toilet! Help!

Thank you!
I need to send lunch and two snacks for my 5 year old, and it’s taking too much time and brain power right now. What are your best suggestions for options that are quick or can be prepped for a few days at one time? I have noticed she’s been more constipated lately so trying to focus on fiber and not just lots of carb-y snacks.
For those of you with spouses in BigLaw/BigJob – what percentage of child care and household tasks do you do? And do you have any tips to make your life easier besides outsourcing food and cleaning? My husband’s in BigLaw and I’m probably doing 90%+ of the child care (when toddler isn’t in daycare) and house stuff, on top of my full-time job. I’m tired and overwhelmed; I had expected an equal partner in all of this. We’ve talked about him looking for a new job, but he seems to want to stay for at least another year or two.
Have any of you cleaned a jogging stroller? Ours is moldy (was left in the rain) and has had a ton of kid snacks in it. The seats are rip stop material. Power wash with Dawn or try the carpet shampooer? Tips appreciated.
DH’s contract requires 5 months notice to terminate, he’s a doctor. He wants contract to terminate in early April, is it silly to give the notice now, which would be like 7.5 months? Or should we wait a few months to give it? Any other tips on how to navigate this? They will not see this coming and he’ll be hard to replace.
does anyone have a kitchen table that they like. ideally a rectangular one, or ideas of places to look? we moved into our house about a year ago and have been searching for one to replace the ikea table i bought 15+ years ago when i graduated from college and moved into my first apartment (this table has served me well – it survived 4+ moves to multiple states, but it is time for somethign new). and we are finding it really hard to find anything the right size – the tables are either too small for our space or too big/formal. we have two young kids and i want something durable that doesn’t scratch easily and can withstand every day use..
Is everyone miserable?
It took a few years but my husband and I recently adopted an infant. She’s perfect and we adore her. We’ve only had her a few months and there’s definitely been some stressful and wtf moments, but overall we’re both enjoying parenthood.
Now that I’m a mom the conversations with friends and acquaintances have changed. Everyone complains about their kids and how challenging motherhood is. Even other adoptive mothers tell me they wished someone had told them how hard raising a child was before they started the process. These are mostly professional women with nannies, close by family and money to throw at whatever problem comes up. I’m baffled by this. I understand people vent and it is challenging at times, but I wasn’t expecting this level of unhappiness and resentment. Am I too new at all this to understand? I’m really enjoying motherhood right now and I’m terrified this is my future. What’s going on?
My husband gets to go on a 5-day trip to London for work (it will not be arduous, mostly networking and sight-seeing), and I’m so jealous. What should I plan for myself so I can shift focus from being jealous of him to excited for myself?
