Now that the weather has cooled off, I’m getting back into running. My old running belt is getting a little frayed, so I’m in the market for a new one.
Here’s a promising option from Lululemon. Their Fast and Free Running Belt is made from their lightweight, stretchy, and breathable “Nulux” fabric. While it has a slim profile, there’s plenty of room for your essentials — a phone-sized zippered pocket and side drop-in pockets for smaller items (keys, gels, etc.). There are reflective details for safety and an adjustable belt for a no-bounce fit.
This unisex running belt is $38 and comes in four patterns/colors. It is currently only available in S/M (26.6 to 41.2 inches), but you can choose to be notified when L/XL is back in stock.

When did you start your kids on chores? My 3-year-old won’t be very helpful but maybe it’s good to start them early?
HSAL says
At 3 they were responsible for bringing their dishes to the counter after a meal, and often setting the table. They’re currently 4 and 6 and occasionally do some one-offs (they like to use the swiffer on the floor and to dust, are semi-helpful with emptying the dishwasher) but the only regular “chore” is that my oldest feeds the cat.

Curious about responses. We have not done regular chores yet with my almost 5 year old. She will help us with tidying up, laundry, cooking and loading the dishwasher occasionally. Laundry is the one we’re most consistent about, and she’s pretty good about sorting and putting away her own laundry (I don’t care about folding). I would like her to “own” cleaning up her toys more than she does, but the window between the end of dinner and the beginning of the bedtime routine is still so short that it would basically prevent her from playing at all on weeknights. Maybe it needs to be a weekly chore.

My three year old’s regular chores include:
– put the silverware in the dishwasher (I hand them to her in a bowl.)
– take the cloth napkins and towels and compost down to the basement
-fold kitchen towels.
– set the table- silverware and napkins.
-pick up and put away toys and books. But this takes a lot of asking and supervision.
I would say about half the time, I actually ask the five year old to do these things. He hems and haws and says he is tired, and then the three year old just takes over because she thinks it’s fun and I bribe her with m&ms. I do feel like I’m contributing to the patriarchy by letting the three year old do her brother’s chores.

100% you are.

Yeah

Yep, sorry but true. Doing that is a choice.

My 2-year-old doesn’t have her own chores, yet, obviously, but as much as possible, I let her follow me around while I’m doing chores and “help.” Stuff like putting junk mail in the recycling, putting dirty laundry in the washing machine, sorting laundry to be put away (she can’t actually reach her closet/drawers, yet, and I haven’t had time to rearrange what goes in which drawers). We’re slowly working on cleaning up toys before bedtime, but unfortunately that usually just reminds her that the toys exist and that she’d rather play with them than go to bed…
