@mnewlin3 Curious how/if the pandemic changed things.

@need Stellar advice.

@hopeatl Modacrylic, yep.

@aheyrondedon Thank you, those are fantastic. I'd found one of those previously and the rest are new.

@dbaileys the HAs are adorable but made of polyester, per US regulations

@dbaileys I'm open to it. They really want that flowy trapeze style rather than one with a waistband, and those have been hard to find. This might work if I sew a ribbon bow to the collar.

I saw the pajama post and it reminded me to ask: does anyone know of wool, oekotex cotton, or linen nightgowns for little girls? Size 5 and 7. They dream of long, flowy white nightgowns—that Clara in the Nutcracker look—but the only ones sold in the U.S. are polyester and/or have flame...

@avnrsa Ah, darn. No, I'm just out of the loop, apparently.

@nolongerchaff To be honest, I just don't buy the dirty dozen unless it's organic.

@robertharris Oh, for books, here are ones we've loved. Chapter books and short story collections: Womenfolk and Fairy Tales by Rosemary Minard Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett The Long Christmas by Ruth Sawyer Pollyanna by Eleanor...

@madscribbler Also, truly, you can PM me if you are feeling lost, stressed, alone. I can listen.

@madscribbler 1a. Often there is no magical way to Do Things Right and have it be easier. Every company and influencer wants us to think their thing/method will fix everything if we buy it. My kids slept badly. Some things made it worse, a constellation of things helped, but there was no one...

@robertharris Things are tight this year, so we're doing repairs for Christmas. They have so many favorite clothes and toys that have broken, watches without batteries, things that need glued or mended... We'll get them all shipshape in a huge wrapped pile for Christmas. I have some things I've...

@lbrox We love those!

@wisdom08 My thirsties are being mailed to their fifth kid, my cheapies did not last one and a half.

@carolny :D It was glorious. She dressed as an owl (Hearthsong sells an owl wing cape) holding her favorite doll wearing Hazel's hat and overalls.

@lostinthepast Totally doable. I swear a simple plastic cup is the best toy at this age. Painter’s tape. Sticky notes.

@carolny My 6yo was Otis-rescuing-Little-Witch-Hazel for Halloween!

@youanna Everything you are doing sounds good. Library books on particularly beautiful bugs might be good? Or seeing some of the gorgeous embroidery on bugs people are doing lately? Add some awe and curiosity where possible. Mine was similar around age 2-3, but at age 4 named all the flies...

@jack_sdb After some time without the allergens bothering them, some allergy treatments, and a few years to grow older, they now eat almost all their former allergens without any reaction, and the remaining reactions are much more manageable.
