I like this shirt because it combines the style of a button-down with a trendy twist detail at the bottom. This top also gives the option of rolling and fastening the sleeves into three-quarter length or leaving them down for a full sleeve. It also comes in a whole spectrum of colors. I like the hot pink for a fun pop of color and the port color for a muted color that’s not black (though they also have it in black too!). The top is available in sizes XS–XXL at Macy’s, and depending on color, the price ranges from $20.93 to $59.50. Twist-Front Button-Up Top

Fun travel question: what are your best family / toddler recommendations for the Portland, ME area? We’re heading there with close family friends this weekend – a total of 4 adults, two 4yos and two 1yos. We’re coming from Boston and the other family is coming from further up the Maine coast. We’d like to eat at a couple of family-friendly nice restaurants and walk around downtown, but also get outside and make the most of winter. Ice skating for the big kids and a Children’s Museum & Theater visit are on our list, but I’d love to hear any other recommendations you might have. Thanks!
My husband and I live overseas and expecting our first child next month, and the time for coordinating visits by our parents can no longer be delayed. We have good relationships with our parents and aren’t dreading them coming (they’ll probably be quite helpful), but we’ve been putting off deciding who comes when and for how long because we honestly don’t know how we are going to feel about visitors and when their help, love, and support will be most appreciated (and/or best tolerated).
Both sets of parents have some flexibility in when they come, but my MIL would like to come within the first two/three weeks after the birth due another upcoming medical event in the family or she won’t be able come for at least three months (and that may hurt her feelings);my dad would like to come either before the birth or within the first week due to his work schedule; my mom is retired and will come whenever). That said, all acknowledge the timing/scheduling is up to us (and, I think, really mean that), but…the trip is also18+ hours each way, so, realistically, visitors will be expecting to stay *at least* a week and last minute changes aren’t going to be ideal. We do have a spare bedroom available but are also definitely open to getting them a hotel or airbnb nearby.
I feel like coordinating this is an LSAT question but also know there is unlikely to be a perfect solution. So, for those who have had their parents come visit and stay, what are the considerations we should have in mind? Any advice or recommendations on what worked for you (or didn’t)? Thank you!
how do i stop eating my kids’ snacks? i shockingly managed to lose all the baby weight i gained with my twins within the first year and kept it off until the holidays, but since then my eating is out of control. i am one of those all or nothing people, so i previously tried not to keep stuff in the house, but that doesn’t really work when you have kids. the snacks i have for them are things like animal crackers, pirates booty, apple chips, etc. but it still doesn’t help my waistline to eat a whole box! i realize obviously this is in my own control, but why is this so hard. after i put them to bed i’m tired and any good intentions i had of not eating all that stuff go out the window. it is almost like an impulse. DH isn’t home most of the time and we live in an apartment so i can’t go upstairs or something to get away from it.
Another travel question! What should we do in DC this weekend with 3 three-year-olds and a non-mobile baby? Usually I’d say Building Museum, but that’s closed, so any other recommendations?
Building off of yesterday’s question about older kids, I’m going on a weekend trip to a nearby city with my son and decided that he’s going to help me with our daily ‘plan of attack’ and manage the ‘navigation’ (bless you paper tourist maps!). The goal is to teach him some basic life skills (map reading, paying attention to the areas around your hotel when you’re traveling, how to organize your day to build in breaks/meals/etc.) with me there to assist if needed. You’d be amazed at how many people I work with, both young and old, seem to lack these capabilities! I also think it’ll be good for him to have more say and involvement in our itinerary as we’re trying to let him have more ‘big kid’ privileges/choices.
I’d like to continue to build on this when we get home as I seem to recall 4th/5th grade was about when we had much more freedom to do short unsupervised trips. Any ideas/suggestions of bloggers who talk about how to help your kid build ‘out in the world’ type of life skills?
This seems like a question you should be able to google, but I don’t really have the time to wade through 50 reviews – so, best prenatal with non-constipating iron? The one I am currently taking has ferrous fumerate, which is not the ideal, apparently chelated iron is. Specific brand recommendations?
Has anyone tried Little Spoon or Yumi or some other baby food service? Any thoughts?
Just finished my first week back at work after maternity leave and my daughter’s second week of daycare. HFM was going around her classroom, and she had a mild fever for two days so we kept her home. Then my husband was sick with achey joints and general unpleasantness for 36 hours. I thought I had somehow escaped it but NOPE… I got hit with three days of fever and now the most painful rash I have ever experienced on my palms and the soles of my feet. So embarrassing! I read there’s nothing I can do except wait it out and take Tylenol. Looking for advice from anyone who’s been through this!
Maybe a dumb question but…my 3 year old is obsessed with dogman? He picked up the book at the bookstore and now its his absolute favorite. He doesn’t read independently yet and I’ve been pushing continuing to read picture books etc., but is there anything wrong with him reading dogman? It seems more popular with like the 8 year old crowd. Am I being crazy?
I wanted to get one of the moms in a playgroup a little something for her new baby. I don’t know her too well, but she’s lovely and someone I’d like to know better. She has two boys that are 3.5 and a newborn (boy) that’s about 10 days. What kind of gifts would be most appreciated? I was thinking of dropping off some food and a little book / toy for her older boys, since everyone will get them baby things. What toys are popular with the 4 year old boy crowd?
TIA!
Looking at this shirt I have no idea what is happening. o_O
