We use these plates: Elk and Friends Kids 6.7” Porcelain Divided Plates with Silicone Sleeves. You can get the plates, bowls and cups on Amazon. They are super easy to clean and we have had them for over a year with no chipping or breaks. We also use the glass cups with the silicon sleeves.

I had a reality check when I was going through my budget one day. I stopped all of my auto ship items. I also add things to my cart but will wait a few days to click purchase. I have a lot of items in save for later too.

Do you have any local boutiques? I like the brand THML for cute summer dresses that are reasonably priced (usually around $100-$150). Also Quince and Pact for staple dresses/items.

Snacks (I do a bento box and then some “candy” that they don’t normally get), new toys (or toys that they haven’t played with in a while), a stuffy or blanket, and I usually give a small dose of Motrin. It makes my kids sleepy. We rotate the toys. I only give 1 at a time. When they start to lose interest we switch to a new toy or have a snack. I make my kids drink from their water bottle during takeoff and landing.

We’ve had a skylight for about 2.5 years. I recently started using more of the features - like the chore chart for my 4 yo. We keep ours in the kitchen. My husband likes it because he can check the calendar in the morning rather than me having to text him all the time about appointments etc.
