There is a company called The Mom Project that specializes in placing moms in flexible roles. There are additional filters such as "part time", remote only, contract vs salary etc I had a friend who is an attorney find her current position through their website. I love the concept! Hire more moms!!

Tonsillectomy tips- 6 year oldYes to ice packs for the ear pain, definitely do not miss a pain dose bc if they start hurting then they don't want to swallow their pain meds. I think our hardest days were day 4-7. We used the dissolvable Tylenol and liquid motrin (dye free). We used the tylenol and motrin during the day and then the presciption pain reliver at night (like a dream feed but dream medicine) so she could get a good stretch of sleep.
Some people use a humidifier directed at their child while they chill on the couch or sleep, we did at night bc I was paranoid but I can't say it made a huge difference or not.
Get Manuka lollipops from amazon or target (in the pharmacy section). Chew bubble gum, drink liquids-gatorade, sprite, whatever they will drink.
My daughter tolerated mac n cheese totally find the entire time.
Order dye free popsicles online-amazon has them.
Have lots of different options of various things to eat and drink bc they get bored and tired of taking medicine. You might have to get creative later in the journey on making medicine fun or incentivize. -

Lice help!!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.
