As the temps drop, my turtlenecks move to the front of my drawer. If you like turtlenecks, a turtleneck dress is the ultimate one-and-done outfit.
This fitted midi-turtleneck dress hits right below the knee. It’s made from a ribbed, cotton-blend fabric so you’ll feel warm without overheating. This dress works as a blank canvas for your own finishing touches like a bright scarf, statement necklace, or sharp jacket.

My two year old daughter has been twisting and twirling her hair into a huge rat’s nest overnight. Is there a good product or method to keep it from getting into snarls that take ten minutes to comb out? She has sensitive skin, so I’m reluctant to put anything in that will leave a residue on her scalp or may get rubbed into her eyes. We bath her every night (at dr’s rec because of the skin stuff) using the Eucerin all in one wash, although her hair only gets washed every other night or so.
I need a gut check. We got a letter from school saying our first grader is reading below grade level. This is not a shock, but I’m torn on whether we need to take drastic action, and what that would even look like. At his teacher conference a few weeks ago, she said he doesn’t quite recognize that letters make sounds, but she’s not worried and he will get there. When I asked what we should be doing at home, she said continue reading to him and having him read to me. He can kind of sound out words, but mostly memorizes short books and then recites them to me. I’ll reach out to her again and ask what we could do. Any suggestions for those of you who have been through this? I suppose I could hire a reading tutor. I think he’s smart but doesn’t like to do hard things. I truly think it hasn’t “clicked” for him yet, but also don’t want him to be behind for his entire education. Am I borrowing trouble?
Halloween vent. Going out on Halloween is always a fraught situation for me becuase I always encounter groups of families/moms I know out trick or treating together, sometimes with coordinated costumes etc and we never get invited to do stuff like that/would have no one to invite. My son was talking to a kid in his class this morning who brought up going to a fellow classmate’s house to give out candy – my son was not invited. He didn’t seem bothered but it stung me. It’s like I know that other parents/famillies have more friends/family community than I do, but it’s not usually in my face. seeing it all on display on Halloween just stings every year.
I resigned from work a few weeks ago. It’s my first time not working aside from maternity leave. Any suggestions from moms who have taken a break and returned to the workforce? I don’t know how long this break is going to be.
Right now I don’t have the bandwidth to be consulting on the side or being involved in the local bar association, but would appreciate tips on small action items to take to remain up to date? FWIW I’m a litigator.
Gut check. After a lot of ‘he’s such a bright kid but is easily distracted’ messages from the teacher, I think I’m walking down the road of getting my kid an official adhd diagnosis and I guess medication?
I’Ve already adjusted my parenting, removed tech, increased one on one time, removed food dyes, and increased exercise/outdoor time. I’ve taken away more privileges and the behaviors aren’t crazy or out of the norm – blurting out answers, not raising his hand, needing directions repeated (specifically for things he finds boring’.
I feel like a failure but also… I myself have an appointment because I’m fairly sure I have ADHD. And I know it’s highly genetic. I’m just… I’m so ashamed and keep feeling like this is all my fault.
I’m getting stuck in my own head and need a bunch of smart readers to help. I’m expecting baby girl in a few weeks, and am still struggling over the name. The far front runner is the name Clare – spelled that way specifically because we are Irish (its the name of a county) and Catholic. We don’t feel any particular affinity for the much more common spelling Claire, aside from the fact that it sounds the same. Some days I love Clare, and other days I feel like we’re going to be saddling Baby with “too plain” of a name or the “ugly” spelling. I don’t care as much about the risk of misspelling which I know will be high, but more the perceptions of the name itself. What’s making it harder is that choosing our older kids’ names was easy – for both we agreed early and never doubted it. We’ve had a lot more trouble finding one for this baby. Clare and the sibling names do sound good together.
So I guess, two questions: 1) have any other parents had name hesitation and then just went for it when the baby came? how did it turn out? and 2) are my concerns about what people naturally think about the name Clare founded?
First time trick or treating with our ASD kid, and it went great! He was very into it. A complete 180 over last year. I think it helped that they’ve been practicing in OT for a few weeks now and hyping it up.
Solidarity to all of those who survived post-Halloween-morn with their overtired, overstimulated, over sugared kids. It wasn’t without its bumps, but they’re now at school. Win.
