These Water Wow! “paint” pads have saved many a road trip.
Like magic, these no-mess books use a refillable water brush to reveal bright colors and hidden pictures. When the fun is done, just let each page dry — the colors will disappear and it’ll be ready for the next time. Designed for travel, the brush stores right inside the cover.
This three-pack is $16.99 at Target.

Amy tips for helping a preschooler adjust to a new baby? This is our third, and so far the toddler is doing fine but the 4 1/2 year is majorly struggling – throwing fits, yelling, saying he wants to send the baby back, the works. I feel bad for him (he’s had some other big adjustments lately) and also am struggling to be patient. I’m trying to give as much one on one attention as I can but it’s hard!
Need birthday gift ideas for an 8yo boy. The mom says he’s really into Nintendo Switch. Um… that’s not a lot to go on (or is it?). My kids are younger so I need some ideas, thank you.
My 5YO is on her third day of a 103 fever, vomiting, congestion and basically not moving off the floor (we see the ped today (after virtual visits the past two days), because I don’t typically see the congestion and cough combined with the vomiting). DH is recovering from surgery and being sick will set that back significantly, so we are keeping the two of them at opposite ends of the house. I am slammed at work, in part because some of my team is traveling on another project this week and we have meetings on my project next week. And the rheumatologist called last week to remind me of my appointment today for my monthly injection I require to function (which, given how critical it is, I am well aware of), and, despite me having confirmed repeatedly that I do not need to call them back to confirm the appointment I made and the reminder voicemail did not ask me to return a call, left a voicemail this morning threatening to cancel my appointment (the one I made, standing in front of them exactly 4 weeks ago) because I hadn’t returned their reminder call. Happy Friday to me.
What are my odds of an ER visit if my kiddo is only drinking 24 oz. of juice per day tops despite every plea and bribe I have offered and hasn’t eaten in three days? I don’t think the ped does IV fluids. If that’s the case, I will likely drop off my surgical patient DH at the ER with DD and swing back after my appointment, but good lord I am so tired. Praying my half-staffed team can get deliverables out today and work will be quiet this weekend.
What is everyone up to this weekend?
My parents are here helping us with childcare for half-term so we’re just hanging out with them. They collected son from school and now my mom and T are doing sealife research. Tomorrow, my husband and I are going to see a feminist retelling of Macbeth and dinner.
