I love e.l.f. for bargain makeup products that work, and this face sponge is no exception.
This latex-free versatile sponge can be used wet or dry — the pointed end is perfect for concealer while the angled sides blur and blend. Use it with liquid or dry makeup for a smooth finish. And at this price, you can stock up.

How old was/were your child/children when you transitioned them from a crib to a toddler bed/bed and from a high chair (strapped in) to a chair they could get into and of themselves?
Our oldest is 2.5 and top of charts size wise. She is still in crib and high chair bc she hasn’t protested and it is easy (esp with a baby sibling). But at what point are we stunting development of new skills?
Has anyone had success with therapy after a traumatic birth in preparation for a second pregnancy? As some vague background on my situation– my first pregnancy was generally very healthy until I started developing high blood pressure, and a scan my OB ordered out of an abundancy of caution showed baby was growth-restricted, resulting in fetal monitoring and a c-section. Bloodwork postpartum showed that I have some clotting disorders that made this type of outcome more common. They can be managed in a subsequent pregnancy to mitigate risk, but I am high risk for a subsequent pregnancy. DS is generally healthy but still small for his age, and we’ve had to do some PT with him due to prematurity, etc. I thought I was generally over this and ready for Kid #2, but a family member recently had a similar situation happen during her pregnancy, and I just have a lot of anxiety about a second pregnancy. Is this something that therapy would help me with, and what type of therapist would I even go to?
Does anyone know how to petition to lower speed limits in the school zone? Our school district is county-wide but I suspect speed limits are city or Dept of Transportation-managed?
For context our speed limit for schools is 35 (feels high), I was visiting FL recently and their school zone speed limits were 15. Apparently, our GA has a statute that the lowest speed limits can be in school zones in 20, which would be a nice change. At our school, multiple speeders are pulled each day…
Does anyone have a gizmo watch or something that plays a similar function? My 4th grader is now able to go to nearby park by himself or walk to a friend’s house to play and some of his friends have things like that. I also sometimes leave him for 30 minutes while a run an errand which I feel comfortable with (but is illegal in my state…)Do we need this? Are any options better than others?
I failed my 1 hour glucose test at 12 weeks yesterday. I’ll take my 3 hour test next week. It’s frustrating because I eat well and exercise regularly (outside of 1 trimester fatigue/nausea the last couple of weeks). I have a parent with type 2 diabetes, so the rational part of me knows it’s likely for me to have gestational diabetes and it could largely out of my control. I’m wondering if anyone has a positive outcome experiences of being diagnosed with GD early in pregnancy and can tell me it wasn’t too big of a deal?
My son has had hives on and off since Friday. We took him to the pediatrician, who said it doesn’t seem to be a big deal and is probably seasonal allergies (the pollen here has been bananas). We’ve been giving him Zyrtec, but do y’all have any other suggestions? Daycare teachers seem a little freaked out about the welts, but we have a note from the doctor saying he’s fine to go to school as long as he doesn’t have other symptoms.
yesterday someone posted about a similar issue, but mine has been ongoing for months now and it is driving me nuts. my almost 5 year old daughter who potty trained easily and barely had any accidents for two years has been having 1-5 accidents a day since maybe like October? we’ve spoken with the doctor and there doesn’t seem to be a medical issue. i know yesterday someone mentioned it can be a sign of abuse, and i did think of that when it first started, but she doesn’t go anywhere alone with anyone other than when she goes to speech, but that takes place in her school in a classroom with windows on both sides. we’ve had the same nanny for almost 5 years, and she has had one drop off playdate, but that only happened like two weeks ago, so i don’t think it is that. when we are home and i have her go commando, she will stop what she is doing and go use the potty, otherwise she would rather pee in her pants than stop whatever she is doing to go to the bathroom. HELP!
18 month old well visit coming up. Daughter screamed for the entirety of her 15 month visit as well as a visit at 16 months when she had a lingering stomach bug. My understanding is that they test for autism at the 18 month visit…how do they do this if she’s screaming the whole time? Her stranger danger has lessened so it might be better this time, but I expect there to be a lot of screaming nonetheless.
Help me come up with a list of gift ideas for DH to get me on Mother’s Day. If I am not specific then he will get me something expensive that I don’t like. I would rather not get anything but that’s not an option. Already booked a massage the weekend before (going on a girls’ trip).
