With fall around the corner, I’m looking to change my look, and eyeliner is an easy update.
I’ve used the same eyeliner for years, but this one from new-to-me brand Kulfi literally caught my eye. This waterproof eyeliner goes on smoothly, without any drag or smudging, for a sharp, budge-proof line. It also contains aloe vera extract and vitamin E for creaminess and moisture. It comes in five perfect-for-fall colors and is a “Clean at Sephora” product.
Kulfi’s Underlined Kajal Clean Waterproof Long-Wear Eyeliner is $20 at Sephora.

The question about snow gear earlier and today’s definitely fall-ish weather reminded me that I need to start shopping for winter clothes for my kiddo. She just turned 2. We’re hoping to do potty training in a couple months if she’s up for it. At what age did you start doing separate bibs and winter coat v. a one-piece snowsuit?
Is there a way to search comments? I feel like I’ve known how to do this in the past, but now I can’t pull up anything but posts which have the keywords in them.
I need to share this somewhere and I definitely can’t say it in real life so here it goes.
Am I the only one who does not enjoy being pregnant? I’m 4 months with my third child and wow, I just hate hate hate being pregnant. I’m in my late late 30s and thanks to many years of infertility and loss, we are doing this parenting thing both later in life and with kids much closer together than planned. I love my kids so much and I’m so excited to have another, but I just am so tired of feeling awful in the meantime. I hate the way people treat me, I hate how it impacts my career and credibility at work, and I hate the constant fear and anxiety that something is going to go wrong and this will all be for nothing. Everyone around me, including other moms who are much younger than I am, seems to have moved on from the pregnancy/baby stage. Everyone I work with has kids who are high school age or older. I guess I just feel very alone.
I feel so guilty that after everything we went through to have our first, I can’t just enjoy this and be one of those happy pregnant ladies. But I can’t seem to get there.
A vent out into the void. We are all crusty/have colds (no fevers) at my house. DH was gone on a quick work trip last week, and came back and was sick as well. Everyone’s dragging and whiny and DH (who is more particular than me) has been constantly mumbling about the cleanliness of the house/how he understands its been a lot on me I’ve been busy managing while he’s out/he feels he’s just been cleaning up messes since coming home/hasn’t been able to relax. Yes, we have a cleaning service, coming this week. He also leaves tomorrow for another work trip and I’m just so annoyed on multiple levels and I know it’s the situation but ughhhh
Who has an everyday purse that they love? I’ve learned that crossbody works best for me running around doing mom stuff so I have my hands free and crossbody styles are small enough that I don’t lose things in it like I do with tote bags. I have the lulu lemon festival bag and it’s great for travel, but I want something that is a bit nicer looking, that I could take to a nicer lunch date. Ideally will hold full sized wallet, iPhone, keys AirPods, and a few kid snacks and if needed, could cram the kiddo’s water bottle in there. Doesn’t have to be leather. I like the look of the madewell crossbody camera bag, but am worried that the second I purchase anything it’s going to be and look EXTREMELY dated and maKe me appear extremely out of touch…. I don’t need to be on the cutting edge, just not stuck 3 at decades ago. Ideally budget up to $250. TIA!
Baby 2 is coming in a few months and our kids will be 24 months apart. I have 4-6 months of maternity leave and kiddo is in daycare full-time. What kind of help should I get for the first few months? I will have a postpartum doula 8am-4pm for the first four weeks and my mom will be there as well. After that my in laws will come to help with daycare pickup/drop off as well as some meals. We will amp up our cleaning service to weekly and possibly will add laundry pickup/drop off.
My concern is nights. DH unfortunately has zero paternity leave (surgeon, most junior in his private practice) and due to the nature of his job, he will not be able to help out much in the evenings/overnight. Is a night nurse helpful? Should I find a nanny who can come from 5pm-midnight?
Help? We are Californians newly transplanted to New England with a 3yo. I am trying to outfit him for fall and winter. I have the obvious things — midweight waterproof jacket for fall, heavy winter coat rated for below zero, snowboots, hats, mittens. But I am stuck on pants. Do kids put on snowpants for every trip out into the snow? Are snowbibs actually useful? Should I be getting him heavy warm sweatpants for daily wear, or would that just be too hot inside? For context, his daycare prides itself on taking the kids outside all winter unless it is actively storming, so I expect he will get a fair amount of snow playtime. I assume I send him to school in his snowboots (we have a walk of a couple hundred feet to get from our front door to our garage) and maybe store a pair of sneakers there for him to change into when he’s inside?
A take on the pet theme–WWYD?
We have had a cat since 2016 (pre-kids), adopted from a local animal shelter. I have always slightly regretted the cat, but I am in the camp of once you get a pet they are yours forever. Kid 1 was born in 2017 and kid 2 was born this year, and now I am not exaggerating when I say I loathe the cat. I am her favorite human, and I cannot sit in my own living room without her wanting to sit in my lap and knead me. Two issues there: (1) the kneading thing annoys me to no end and destroys my clothes, but we are managing this part fine enough with frequent trips to the vet for nail trims; and (2) the bigger issue I am always in demand/being touched in my household, and I can hardly handle another thing touching me after I get the kids to bed at night, but the moment I actually sit down the cat comes running for pets (no matter whether DH has been sitting in the living room for an hour). This cat is ~7-9 years old and could have a lot of life left. She does not really endear herself to the family as she bites a lot when not petted on demand (and also bites when not petted “properly,” however she deems proper at the moment). I want the cat to have a good life (and she obviously has a much better life at my house than she would at a shelter). But I am overwhelmed with all the living things that need/want my attention, and the cat is last on that list. Any advice/commiseration?
One of my kids is desperate for a pet bunny. I thought it would wear off but it’s been months and he is still regularly talking about his desire for a bunny. We don’t have any pets and I have no real desire to get a bunny, but he is adorable with them when we visit them at the pet store so curiosity forces me to ask, do any of you have pet bunnies and if so, will you share your experience?

My son’s school wants us to bring in an “indoor recess bag” for rainy days. He’s in second grade. Any ideas that can fit in a gallon-size ziploc bag? It’s going to live at school for the year. I’d rather not send in things like the little beyblade/bakugan toys that he loves, and the intention is solo activity time so the card games we play at home aren’t a possibility.
