How thoughtful and considerate of you! My husband gave me an additional band for our 5yr and I typically just wear my bands and keep my ring in the safe for special occasions. How about keeping the stones and rearranging for a refreshed look?

Upgrading engagement ring thoughts? -
How do you do it all?Such a good question and tale as old as time. My answer: You don't.
If you're working then you have to outsource. Hire someone to fold your laundry and clean up the kitchen a couple times a week, out source lawn care, grocery shopping etc
This is the only way that I have found that it's manageable. I absolutely do not want to spend the time with my kids frantically trying to stay afloat...I doubt any of us do. It is expensive to hire help, but it's priceless for the sanity saving aspect.
You just simply cannot do two full time jobs. At least, I haven't been able to! -
Tamiflu for my toddler- to take or not?!Previously we've never used tamiflu but felt it was necessary this year due to personal circumstances in our family. My three kids have not had any issues and the flu A positive kid only had a fever for 24 hours and the other 2 did not get the flu.
I totally understand your concerns, it's historically been my concern too. Fortunately my kids did okay! -
Companies that are Pro Work Life Balance/FamilyThere 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!!

Is Mufasa the movie kid appropriate?I was told from a good friend that it's appropriate for kids but there are some intense parts but nothing that would prevent from taking kids. Sorta vague prob doesn't help that much, sorry!

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. -
