This is going around my kid's school right now...eek. I check around their ears and at the base of their neck every morning and when they get home every afternoon. I also douse them in rosemary spray before school. So far so good, but I know it's a matter of time.
I've been told that if you flick them they won't move from the hair but dirt/dandruff/anything else will move/fall off. Best of luck!!

Bday gift for a girlfriend who has everything?Carrie Shannon is a local artist in Austin. She has great little gifts to stock up on and to keep in your gift closet for when needed. I love that it supports a local mom/small business. Plus it's a unique gift. I've gifted them and also been gifted. Maybe check a local artist in your area.
Styro cups with a saying that reminds me of her. Of course candles. Someone gave me an indoor plant that I really enjoyed. Paying for a pre pickup happy hour to get to spend time with her and pick up the tab.
I agree that it's really more about the thought and less about the thing-as long as it doesn't add to the clutter of the house ha -
3rd Row SUV Help??I have 3 kids and had a suburban and loved it but it was simply too big for running around town and meetings downtown. I gave it to my husband and got an Atlas. LOVE it for zipping around town. It has been big enough for the everyday. Good trunk space. The cons are that my kids sit closer together and therefore fight more. We are in Austin and AC flowage is important and my ,ids haven't complained about being hot.

Blood drawn - tips and tricksoh yes, I have a lot of experience in this area but would love to keep learning from other moms too!
There is a device called a buzzy bee that vibrates above where the blood draw is done and it's very distracting for the kiddo to get their mind off of the draw. Additionally, numbing cream from either your pediatrician or over the counter-make sure to put on at least 30min before and we use saran wrap to wrap it up, give the phlebotomist a couple options so we do both arms just in case. Depending on the kid either tell them right before so their anxiety doesn't build or give them time to process a couple days in advance-you know your child best on this one!
Good luck!! I know it's such a thing. I'll try and think of our other tips but those are my main two. -

Favorite Seed Oil Free Snack/Foods/Salad Dressings?GREAT question!! We are doing the same. Instagram told me to order on Thrive. I actually typed "seed oil free snacks" into amazon today and some great options came up. I have no idea if they are actually seed oil free, so will update in a few days when everything comes in.

Best go-to easy dinnerhonestly we do a lot of healthy freezer meals. We love the Dr.Praegers cauliflower fries, spinach nuggets. Depending on your kids ages, we did "little spoon" which was amazing and SO easy!! I felt good about that when kids were young because they were quick, required little effort on my end and were sneaking vegetables in.

Do I hold my June Baby Back for Kindergarten?I am a May baby and was held back and I don't think it was the best choice for me. I excelled as a child, was mature, teachers loved me etc but as an adult i've had to learn skills that I missed learning as a kid because I never had to. So childhood was easier but adulthood was harder.
This may not be everyone's experience but it's mine
These things might be impossible to predict and we are all just making the best decisions that we can for our kids!
