I’ve been seeing beaded bracelet stacks coming back into style, and I’m a fan. I liked this style when it first came around, and as a jewelry lover with a tendency to also be a “collector,” I’m glad it’s back! This bracelet caught my eye first because of how delicate it looks. I also love that it’s classic but also trendy. Then, I noticed that 100% of the proceeds go towards WIRES (Wildlife Rescue Emergency Fund), which is helping to rescue and care for animals in Australia who are victims of the fires and drought. The designers have a personal connection to Australia, and I like that they are bringing awareness to this organization. This bracelet by LeMel is $45. WIRES Wildlife Rescue Bracelet

Can’t tell anyone IRL yet (except DH obv) but for the first time since my endo surgery, I got the results from my doc that my post peak hormones are *normal*. Which means I could be pregnant. Since I’m triggering HCG, I cannot take a pg test for 10 more days (a pregnancy test before that could be a false positive). I don’t even know how I feel about this. Been TTC for six years.
I currently work in-house but am looking to move because I’m unhappy with my comp (I’ve explored all avenues for increasing my comp within my current organization and realized I need to move on to move up). I have a job offer from In-House Department, and they want a response by end of day Wednesday. The offer is more than I’m making now but still not great comp-wise, I think my first choice is a job with Specialized Firm where the comp will be significantly higher. I have an interview at SF on Thursday. I know someone who works there so have it on good authority that they are very interested in me and would be able to make an offer quickly if the interview goes well. Do I a) make a counter offer to IHD (which I need to do anyway because I wouldn’t accept the job at the offered comp) on Wednesday morning in the hopes that buys me more time or b) tell IHD that I need until Friday to make my decision making it fairly obvious that I’m waiting for another offer and they’re not my first choice?
12 weeks pregnant (first time!) and looking for some pregnancy/parenting book recommendations. Are there any you found particularly helpful, not too outdated? Thanks! :)
Also have potty training question. DD (almost 3) decided this week she was ready to potty train and did! Zero accidents wearing undies except a diaper overnight. But it’s the worst timing ever as we’re going on vacation to visit my parents next week. We’ve ordered a potty for their house, I’m more concerned about the airport/flight. I’ll bring a potty seat for the airport and stickers to put over the autoflush toilet. But I have low expectations. I should just put her in a pull up for travel days right? I just hate to lose this awesome momentum even though I know potty training can be a longer process. Believe me, I’m totally shocked she’s taken to it so quickly but I think she was ready
Potty training question #2 (haha). My son will be 3 in April and we’ve let him take the lead on potty training (i.e., we have taken the lazy approach and haven’t potty trained him, but he’s learned from his classmates/older sister). For about two weeks now, he’s been wearing undies and never has pee accidents. However, he has near-daily poo accidents, so far always at home. Does this mean he needs to go back to pullups? Should we let him wear undies during the day at school and change him into pullups when he returns home? Deal with the poo? Our daughter didn’t have this issue so it’s a head scratcher for us. Thanks for any advice!
I want to make a little “crawl space” or safe space with pillows, etc that my kids (2 and almost 4) can go to to decompress if they are upset and need a few minutes on their own. Right now they often wedge themselves behind a chair where there is cords and stuff, so I’d like something more official. I’m thinking maybe one of those little pop-up tents…or maybe trying to hang up a little curtain in a corner? Has anyone tried something like this and/or have a recommendation for a pop-up tent?
What have your experiences been with the Snoo? I recently found out we are expecting our second (hooray!), but I am dreading the sleep deprivation… did it really help your baby sleep?
Following up on the camp discussion. Any one have experience with the Smithsonian Camps? Especially for younger elementary?
Both my husband and I work a few blocks from the Smithsonian, and I think it would be a fun week of camp, but the few reviews I’ve seen have been mixed (lack of organization, etc).
Thanks!
What is everyone doing in terms of getting their kids Valentine’s cards to take to school? In past years, I have shamelessly gotten the 32-packs of cards from Dollar Tree and called it a day. I’m thinking my kindergartner’s expectations may be a bit higher this year, though. Maybe we’ll step up our game with Dollar Tree paper cards with Dollar Tree lollipops taped to them? Only 10 days to go…
Has anyone used the ‘Joovy Foocot Child Cot’? I posted last week about an upcoming vacation with a toddler and concerns about sleeping arrangements. Might pull the trigger on it but curious if there were any personal reviews here. TIA!
I bought the 3-in-1 maternity hoodie from Seraphine that was posted here within the past few weeks. It is comfy, except that the cuffs of the sweatshirt are quite tight. Slightly uncomfortable to wear for a long time, and I definitely cannot roll up the sleeves, so I anticipate this is going to be of limited use especially once baby is here and I need to do things like change diapers and wash my hands often. Has anyone else had this issue & any suggestions for stretching it? I had been hoping that some wear & washing would help, but it doesn’t really seem to.
Also, a note about this company. I had never bought from them before but had heard good things (a little above my price point for maternity items frankly). I reached out to customer service to ask for help troubleshooting (is this how it’s supposed to be? can it be stretched?), and they said that there was nothing they could do because the item had been worn. And I reviewed the item saying the above, but my review has been in moderation for day, so I don’t know if they actually post negative reviews that are submitted.
Help! We are in the middle of a potty training regression. My son is 2.5 and has been happy to use the toliet since we started potty training a while ago. We went away for the holidays and used more diapers than usual for our own convenience while at grandmas and various activities. Now, its so hard to convince him to just.go.to.the.bathroom! We have tried candy rewards, stickers, books, lots of praise and DH even thought him to stand so that he’s “just like Daddy!” These tricks have had minimal success – bathroom time took 20 minutes this morning! What magic worked for you?
To continue yesterday’s discussion, I’m at a starbucks between my house and a meeting, poised for 9AM camp registration to open up! Wish me luck!
