Organizing Thursday: Toothbrush Holder

Here’s another rec compliments of my sister — a toothbrush holder that will keep your bathroom counter from looking like a “sh*tshow” (her word).
As a mom of three kids, my sister knows what to look for in a toothbrush holder — the multiple holders keep brushes from touching one another (eww, germs) and the center holders are perfect for various toothpastes (of course, each of her kids uses a different flavored toothpaste). Of course, getting kids to put things back themselves is another story.
This toothbrush holder is available at Amazon.

My husband gets sick constantly. Like every few days there is some new cough or ailment. He’s a part-time SAHD and it’s becoming an issue with his ability to do chikdcare regularly
Is there anything that can be done to improve general health? Just sleep, water, vitamins?
My 7 yo kid like to listen to music as he falls asleep, which I currently stream from my phone to his headphones or a Bluetooth speaker in his room. But I’d like to get him some way to play music himself. We don’t have an Alexa bc we have privacy concerns … but maybe that’s the answer? MP3 player? Any suggestions?
Question for those who pump in a lactation room rather than a private office: How much time is it available to you? At this point there are 4 of us trying to pump 2 or 3 times a day in the same room. The schedule kind of works, but there is almost no flexibility. If something comes up and I miss my 9 am session, I’m stuck sore and leaking till 2:30. Just wondering if this is normal SOP or a little statistical anomaly?
How did your marriage change when you had children? We’re expecting our second kid in a few weeks. We can feel our marriage has changed so that our common experience between us is our toddler, and, for many reasons, we no longer share the things we shared when we started dating. I’m not sure what that means for us as a couple, especially when number two gets here.
Suggestions for family card/board/etc. games that both my four-year-old and eight-year-old will like? Trying to stave off frustration and boredom as we look ahead to long winter weekends.
Starting to look into daycares that we won’t need until next August (baby is due in April). We don’t have any friends or family in the area, so I can’t get recommendations from others like I’d prefer, but will start visiting them in person the next few weeks. What are things I should look for and ask about? I’m still undecided if I want to do nanny or daycare, but based on recommendations from here, I’d like to have a daycare spot secured in case I can’t find a nanny I like.
Long haul flight to Asia is next weekend! 5-year-old will likely be fine with tablet, books, misc toys.
My almost 2 year old…I don’t know. He’ll watch some screen (e.g. Sesame Street Alphabet songs on YT), but won’t put on headphones. I’ve bought window clings, stickers, a block set (I expect all to be gone by the time we land), etc. Will pack a few books, and he’s highly entertained by cups, so glad to have those. We’ll spend some time walking the aisles of course. He’ll have his own seat and be in a carseat (airline requirement). Any tips?!
What are your kids favorite toothpastes? My kids come and steal mine and DH’s (adult, mint) and I’m not sure if I should be steering them back towards kids or not.
Does anyone have experience with Shein- specifically their maternity clothes? A friend mentioned it- I’ve never ordered from them and it seems like cheaper forever 21? We’re likely one and done so I don’t want to invest in things I’ll never wear again.
Screaming into the void. I attended a multi-day in-person meeting a few weeks ago. Several participants got COVID, including someone who sat next to me for an entire day. I wore a mask and did not get COVID. Our daughter wears a mask at school and has never had COVID despite the fact that several kids she sits with have gotten it. Now my husband is being called into the office for in-person meetings and says he won’t wear a mask because “it makes it harder to communicate.” I am at elevated risk for COVID complications and long COVID. I guess my time has run out.
Any tips for getting on the same page with your partner for parenting policies? Husband is pretty strict and I’m pretty relaxed. Toddler has started having behavioral issues (pushing boundaries, saying no) and preferring me because I’m less strict.
Looking for a general resources on how to discuss with DH. None of his strictness is unreasonable, and it’s not like I let kid run around undressed eating cookies all the time. We just have different acceptable standards. Be gentle y’all
