Splurge or Save Thursday: Vida Feather Cardigan

I’m going to be up-front and recognize that anything with feathers might be a divisive pick, but for those looking to ring in 2024 with a bang, consider this statement cardigan.
Cinq à Sept elevated a wardrobe basic by pairing a soft knit blend with feather trim and elongated sleeves. Since it’s a bold choice, keep the rest of the ensemble subdued — black trousers, a simple silk shell, and some delicate jewelry.
This cardigan is $465 and comes in sizes XXS–XL.

Help me out – if a Catholic school‘s homepage lists tuition for pre-k as 3400$… is that monthly? Yearly? I am not from the US and have no idea about private school prices. Location is Denver if that matters…
I know we probably need to consult a T&E lawyer, but does anyone have any advice about the best way for grandparents to save for kids’ college without impacting the financial aid picture? With the recent rule change that a grandparent-owned 529 doesn’t count toward financial aid, I was thinking it might make sense for my parents to open a 529 and save there, but I’m a little concerned about tying too much money up in educational funds, because we already have enough for four years of state school, and my child is my parents’ only grandchild, so they don’t have anyone else they’d want to share college $$ with. My parents would be fine with unused college money going towards grad or professional school, but not everyone takes that path.
My in-laws are visiting us this weekend. What should I make fore NYE dinner? They don’t drink alcohol or like fish, other than that they’re into most things. I made a big beef tenderloin for Christmas so I’m not sure I want to tackle that again. Looking for slightly fancy but easy-ish ideas. Thanks!
To fulfil my parenting motto of “be the mom in the water”, my son and I tested out his new boogie board in the Atlantic today. We had a blast while the Portuguese looked at us as if we had lost the plot. Now I’m browsing vinted for a shortie wetsuit while T lounges in a warm bubble bath.
Has anyone dealt with a kid with chronic bowel movement issues? How does it work with kindergarten? My kid should be starting kindergarten next year and yet still has bowel movement accidents weekly due to constipation and pelvic floor problems.
We see a GI doctor and a pelvic floor specialist and we are getting them into a therapist. Its a medical problem not a behavioral thing. It just feels like the bowel movement accidents /constipation will never end and I am so worried they will have issues with friendship in kindergarten due to this. I know it’s months away but we have been working on this issue for so long.
