The last time I cut my hair, my stylist used this mouse. I liked it so much I got my own!
This lightweight, volumizing mousse from Moroccanoil works on all hair types. It builds body and lift without any stickiness or stiffness. It’s infused with moisturizing argan oil and an anti-static agent (a necessity in winter). I just put a dollop in before drying my hair for a long-lasting volume and a natural-looking style.
This volumizing mousse is $30 at Sephora.

water bottle help – i know this has been discussed many times before, but currently we use the contigo spout water bottles, which I like because the top can fold down. but one of my kids is a chewer and destroys the straws and they’ve stopped selling them separately. i purchased the nalgene grip and gulp on a rec from this board and while the hard straw is much better, i don’t like how it cannot fold down. is there any water bottle with a hard straw that can fold down?
How important is it for your kiddo to be in daycare/preschool with kids their own age? My 4 year old has another full year before he starts school. He is in a mixed-age class with kids as young as 3. Several kids his age have moved/left/transferred out recently, and he is already one of the very oldest. Next year, he will be the oldest kid by 9 months. Most of the kids in his class will be 3 or barely 4 (he will be 5).
Is this going to be okay or do I need to figure something else out? His is the only preschool class at this center, so my options are to leave him where he is or move him to a different school for one year. He isn’t old enough for kindergarten (misses the cutoff by just a few weeks) so that’s not an option.
Need advice! My 6 yo is friends with the kid of our neighbors, they live on our block. Very sweet kid and super nice family, their kid is oldest of 3 and same age as my kid. They play together really well, so no trouble there. My daughter wants to constantly hang out with her, though. As soon as we get home from anywhere she immediately asks if she can play with neighbor kid, and every weekend day she wakes up asking to play with her. Its not like we are always home and my kid does have a few activities she does and other friends from school that we hang out with, but anytime there is any “free” time (after school/before dinner, anytime we don’t have something scheduled on the weekend), she wants to run over to see if her friend can play. Sometimes we do say no, but we don’t want to tell her no every day. And we struggle to come up with a good reason for saying no, when there really is no reason other than we don’t want her to be that kid whose always hanging around when maybe the other family doesn’t want her there. We always suggest that she invite her over to our house, and about half the time she does. Basically, we are worried that the other family is like, why is this kid always knocking on our door. She literally waits until they get home from somewhere and runs over immediately, sometimes as they are getting out of the car. We have stopped her from doing this several times telling her they need time to settle in, but then she wants to go over within a few minutes saying they’ve settled already. How would you handle this? We don’t know how to explain to her that sometimes people need their space and time away or to have time with their family. I mean, we’ve said that, but she doesn’t get it. How do we kindly explain that maybe her family is annoyed that my kid is showing up at their door constantly? She’s really sensitive, so we probably walk on eggshells with her too much. TIA for any advice on a script.
Good morning! I’m working on getting a pump covered by insurance and apparently my choices are Spectra S1 or S2, or the Medela Pump in Style. Which would you go for?
Logistical considerations: my job has a busy season in the fall involving being on the road all over the region for multiple weeks in a row, so portability is a BIG concern of mine. I do plan to request a couple WFH days as part of returning from mat leave so I can have a reliable break from travel. Client sites vary and the likelihood of being able to have a private space at every one is a crapshoot, so my BFF suggested being prepared to pump in my car just in case. Baby will go to regular daycare.
Has anyone done a sleep study for their child before a tonsillectomy? Or just in general? Did you find it helpful? My 4 year old snores and wheezes a lot while sleeping. We have one scheduled but I’m on the fence.
Teachers are on strike tomorrow and wraparound care is running an all-day strike club. Kiddo promises he’ll just be quiet at home, play Lego all day, but this is a fiction, right? I’ve got a massive to do list and husband is on calls most of the day.
