Now that we’re past Thanksgiving, I can start embracing those those merry and bright feelings.
This fun eyeshadow palette from Sephora Collection is a fun (and very economical) way to add some sparkle to your look. This palette includes eight easy-to-wear shades that range from matte to metallic. It also includes a mirror for touch-ups on the go and is made from eco-friendly packaging.
For the price, I’d buy a few for all my makeup-loving family and friends.
The Wonderful Wishes Eyeshadow Palette is $8 at Sephora.
P.S. Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate!

- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Hopefully a helpful thread for all of us giving small gifts (stocking stuffers, etc.) for the holidays- What are your go-to stocking stuffers? (I’m looking for new and fun ideas.)
Kids – New toothbrushes with favorite characters, band-aids with favorite characters, fun socks, those infernal ‘surprise’ pack things that you don’t know what you’re getting and you pick up at the checkout of Target, plus a little candy and then an orange and a walnut.
Adults – Good pens. Favorite gum or mints. Nice coffee or tea. Also surprisingly popular are band-aids with favorite characters. Socks. A magazine.
Hope folks had a relaxing Thanksgiving break! My 5yo is due for his second dose today. Any of the (few) people ahead of me on this have any experience with symptoms from the 2nd dose? Or maybe anecdotes from the 12yos?
Hi all. My maternity leave ends in two weeks and kiddo (who will be 5 months ) will start daycare.
1) any advice on the transition back? I will be remote until February
2) how do you balance a demanding job with the schedule of the baby? The idea of not seeing her all day is killing me. I used to get done with work at 6 on a good day. We are trying to get her to bed before 730. To start with I’m going to try to block my calendar from 4-8 but I prob can’t do that forever. How do you make it work?
Morning all – I have a travel conundrum and could use advice. My very generous in laws want to take us on a family trip to Hawaii next summer (we all live in CA, so a 5 hour flight). My two DSs will be almost 4 and 2 respectively. My concern is my older son – he is very very active and I am doubtful he will be able to handle a flight that long, plus inevitable airport delays, without a meltdown and having the whole flight hate us. My younger son is much more mellow but who knows what he’ll be like at almost 2. We will have six adults and my 10 year old niece (who is fairly mature) to help, but still. Should we pull the trigger or wait until they are older? FWIW, we did a four hour car trip this past summer and it was pretty brutal.
the sibling rivalry in our home is currently going through an intense period of competing for mommy’s attention. we have 3.5 year old twins, and the second i am helping one with something, the other one asks for mommy to do something. we try to give them quality one-on-one time, so like last weekend DH took twin A in the car to pick up my SIL from the airport, while I tried to play with twin B, but twin B basically incessantly asked when twin A would be home, which shocked me since they are also currently in a phase where they go from playing nicely together, to screaming/wrestling/fighting over a toy and I thought twin B would be happy to have mommy and all of her toys to herself. this was by no means the first time she was without her sister. at home now, whenever twin B says she has to go potty, twin A tries to race to get to the potty first even though she doesn’t have to go. any ideas? we’ve intentionally been trying to carve out one-on-one time with each kid/parent, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything
First term of teaching in my new job is nearly done. Last lecture tomorrow, and my husband and son are here visiting and we’ll all fly home together on Wednesday. We’re back on WFH “recommended” so it looks like I’ll be home for 7 weeks! I’ll still have to pay my work-city rent but no flights, extra food costs from travelling. My master’s teaching went really well, undergrads were a rougher ride but a good learning experience. Husband and son were such good sports about me being gone half the week, and in the end, it felt pretty manageable for all of us.
Welp, we finally have our first daycare quarantine. My kid was home with visiting family last week so she thankfully wasn’t exposed. But we have no childcare for the next two weeks.
Couple of questions: do you get any info from your schools about the status/size of an outbreak? I would really like to eventually know if this case resulted in any other cases in the classroom, but I don’t know if they’ll tell us about subsequent cases since we won’t be direct contacts.
And can you generally use sick leave for this? I can’t imagine I’m going to get much done with a non-napping 3 year old at home (and I don’t want to destroy my physical and mental health working day shifts with the kid and night shifts at work the way I did in spring/summer 2020), but I don’t want to burn two weeks of vacation time if I can avoid it. Taking half the days off or something like that isn’t a good plan because people will just reschedule all my meetings for the days I’m working, leaving me no time to actually work.
My son is about to outgrow the Cosco Scenera Next, height-wise (maybe just torso). Any consensus here on the best bigger travel car seat? Forward-facing, ease of transport (i.e. relatively light and easy to haul around; generally we install on planes rather than checking) is the priority.
posted last week but too late. What are you getting the 8 year old girls in your life? Also, any ideas for a 3.5 year old girl who is the 3rd child (a million hand me downs) and has EVERYTHING she could ever want but who will very much notice if she gets no presents or all practical things like socks and clothes. ;)
happy hannukah to all those who celebrate! how do you handle gifts? last night i just gave my 3 year old some stickers bc i could tell we were heading towards a major meltdown from exhaustion and she was delighted. she didn’t seem to understand why she was even getting a present. i have a closet full of toys from relatives and a part of me wants to keep this idea of Hannukah not having to do with presents, but that also seems unrealistic. any tips on how to handle gifts?
Coming off our first holiday road trip in two years, would love to know what travel (and packing!!!) hacks everyone swears by or something they just learned that was a success!
Here’s my tiny win: grabbed a farm auction catalog at a rural rest stop and the trucks, tractors and heavy haulers seemed to quell the pain of the tablet being taken away from LO for an attempt at naptime. Then fun to rip apart upon waking!
My kid’s birthday is in late January and it just occurred to me that she has not been invited to a single birthday party this year. She started at a new private school this fall, 3rd grade. At her old school we did parties with her whole small class. I have no idea if parties aren’t happening because of covid or if they are and she is not invited, which I suspect is more likely. How would you handle this? I don’t really have any mom friends there that I can ask directly if my kid is being excluded. Inviting the whole class is possible but also quite expensive, there are 22 kids and most places she’d want to hold it go up like $100 for every 5 additional kids.
Anyone skip getting a crib? Having my second kid nearly a decade after my first, and I find myself hesitant to invest in much baby gear before the little one arrives. We have a Snoo, which we plan to use for the first six months or so. Do we really need a crib after that, or would a pack and play work until baby is ready to move to a twin bed. Am I insane?
Favorite source for puzzles? I’m thinking 500-1000 piece ones that my five and six year old can help with so not stupid hard, but still adult if that makes sense!
Anyone have favorite recent picture books ? I’m putting together the “something to read” part of the Christmas list and stuck on what is new and engaging for our two year old. We have a lot of classics and we go to the library a lot, but I feel like I’m not up on what has come out in the past year or so. Bonus points for trucks, boats, diverse characters, and good for bedtime reading.
