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 dinnerThe BEST and easiest salmon recipe that your kids will love--- everyone I have passed this along to would agree!! Put salmon in a glass dish - put salt pepper and slices of butter on it. MUST do the "magic salmon seasoning" all over it. Put the oven on broil and broil it for 12-15 minutes depending on how you like your salmon - DONE. That's it and it will melt in your mouth. Then add trader joes microwave brown rice and usually I buy pre cut broccoli and cauliflower and roast it in the oven or throw it in the air fryer. Could also just buy frozen vegetables too!

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!

Kindergarten Help!@EveryoneShhh
My daughter's teacher did/does this as well and it was very helpful! It's a little bag of confetti with a note/poem about starting school. A little boost of confidence and generates excitement. -
Kindergarten Help!I did not anticipate the change to be as challenging on myself as it was. I work full time and my kids have always been in full time care so I thought it would be easy breezy but it was more challenging than I expected. It's just different than daycare. More demands, more to keep up with, more rules-for parents too-hello tardy bell! I would suggest not taking on any big projects at work for the first few weeks if you can swing it. To give everyone some extra margin to adapt

Systems that help your kids pick up after themselvesWe are starting from scratch in our house and I'm looking to implement systems that help my kids pick up after themselves. I have come to the realization that I can't pick up after everyone, there's simply not enough hours in the day! Chore charts? Natural rhythms? Want to hear it all, please!!

Skylight calendar?@Gray-Parrot Yes! I just purchased the medium sized Skylight calendar a few weeks ago. I use it for general overview of schedules but have LOVED the "todo"/chores list feature. My kids have started coming downstairs in the morning and checking off their list without being asked.
