My husband and eldest are big Star Wars fans, so I’m always on the hunt for Star Wars-related gifts. (Psst: Corelle has a new line of Star Wars plates!) These Ruggable Rugs really took my breath away, though — they don’t look like “themed” rugs at all, they just look gorgeous. These indoor washable rugs look perfect if you’ve got a new pet, or if you’ve got a kiddo who has a lot of accidents.
The pictured toile rug, featuring scenes like Darth Vader and Luke, the Falcon, and the Ewoks, is $124-$629 at Ruggable.

We decided to tell the grandparents that we can’t drive to see them this Thanksgiving because of the pandemic. I’m confident in the decision, but I know they’ll be crushed, as it’s been a really hard fall for them and they have been so looking forward to spending time with our toddler. Any ideas on how to make a virtual thanksgiving more fun?
Interviewing and job hunting on maternity leave – thoughts? Would be in my same company, different org. Pros for staying in my current role of course is that coming back I’d know what I’m coming back to, given the uncertainty of pandemic, indefinite wfh and daycare closures possible with a return to lockdown if cases keep rising… that’s attractive.
However I have been at my current role about the right length of time to make a move, and I have concerns about my future in this org after some recent shakeups. Looking to hear from anyone who successfully made a switch during leave (including how you went about prepping and interviewing while on leave) OR tell me I’m crazy and should at least stick it out for a bit when I’m back at work. The time pressure is mainly that the specific role I want doesn’t come up all that often and they are limited in the company; plus I’d get to work for a female VP with a great reputation.
If I were decorating a nursery right now, this rug might just convince me to go with a Star Wars theme.
Potty training tips for a 2.5 year old girl? I read this site everyday and haven’t seen any recent threads on this topic . She understands what we want but will sometimes just pee on the floor and poo in her pants (we keep her in just undies or just pants with no pull ups except for naps/bed). I read oh cr** before starting. Thanks for any suggestions.
Should I bring my kids (4,6,8) to a graveside service, or try to find a babysitter? The deceased is a young adult, child of good friends. My kids were not close with the family, so this is more about whether husband I can show up appropriately for our friends if we’re also chasing our kids, and whether kid behavior would be unwelcome and disruptive. I will 100% be a mess of tears, but kid duties will default to me as my husband is closer with the family.
