No idea, but our pediatrician once told me that younger kids GI systems move slower and so it takes longer for them to get over stomach stuff. So it's not abnormal for them to feel better and then puke again. That's a really non scientific way of explaining what she explained to me but that's how i understood it. Godspeed!

We do Vitamin D all year round but make sure not to skip a dose in the winter months. We also high dose it once a week (obvi talk to your pediatrician about this first).
Other than that I send hand sanitizer to my kid's classrooms and extra clorox wipes and pray to the flu gods to spare us.
Oh, I also cut back on my kids activities to make sure they're getting at least 5 nights of solid sleep a week in the winter. They need it. Lots of low key hanging right now over break instead of running them ragged.

Yes! The Sunnyside app. It's basically like a low key personalized accountability app that helps you set goals, track and keep them in a low pressure way. I sound like an advertisement but I swear I'm not LOL! For those of us that need a little help in this area it's been great. I have used the soberish plan but they also have a completely alcohol free plan too. Best of luck! I' so much happier when I feel in control of my beverage intake

One pot chicken orzo from The Defined Dish. So easy and so good. Use boneless chicken thighs

Right there with you. Ours was $17,000 last month. Childcare and food are our biggest expenses. I’m certain meal planning would help cut back but I work full time and that’s something I can’t commit to right now

Sending my first to kindergarten. Can I get your most helpful tips? Thanks!!

I’ll be honest, I’m not in the best shape of my life but it’s a goal to get there. I’m struggling with all the things above. Morning is really the only time, or if I can block my calendar first thing after drop off but then I’m on back to backs all day trying to catch up. Maybe I need a less intense job?

Definitely kid dependent. One of my teacher friends told me that they are having trouble keeping the “older” kids engaged during the day at school. So that’s something to consider if your child is smart.

@clingingtogood this is brilliant!!! Do they have zones for picking up? How do they not fight about how much or whose stuff they are putting in their basket?

EltaMD clear or tinted is what I use and I have a lot of friends use too. My derm sells it and my Botox gal. Can order on Amazon too
