Today is our first day as a family of five. DS2 had his first check up at the pediatrician and I went back to the OB for a check on my allergic reaction. I can safely come off the antihistamines finally- hooray!!
DH goes back to work tomorrow and I’ll have all three of them on my own. He’s taking the big boys to the pool later and I’ll enjoy baby snuggles. I think we will all go to get ice cream later.

Important question. If an item you like and know is cute on you is on sale, but shipping is not free, do you get two pairs in order to get free shipping? It's $10 cheaper per item to get two, but of course then I end up spending more because I'm buying two. It's a trap, right? Do they give free returns? If I don’t need 2 I just get one in a different size/color to get the free shipping and then return one.

Does said vendor offer free returns by mail or to a brick & mortar, if so I would order both a return the extra. If not, I would likely end up getting 2 because it’s cheaper and you have something to ‘show’ for your money.

One of the twins is going to kill me. If I survive his childhood it will be a miracle. He’s just such an adventurous spirit 🥴 I’m already starting to feel that way about the baby. How do babies not knock their teeth out as fast as they can grow them? 😐😫 Right? Come on kids

I do, so having 2 more would be a no brainer for me. If you don’t, then it’s just a trap.

It's a trap I fall into often because I hate paying for shipping but I am trying to be more mindful of my spending so it would depend more on how much shipping costs and what the total amount was. After hearing about how many clothing companies throw away/destroy returned items, I am trying to be more mindful of returns as well, which can be hard with online orders.

We got a bag of double bubble to bring to the park and share with friends and DS is glitching out - “Want …buggle gum! …gubble gum!”

I used to work for an e-commerce company so I do understand how costly shipping is for companies, and how much returns can hurt as well. Especially for a smaller company. And customers expect so much with shipping nowadays because of standards set by Amazon (which we know come at the cost of workers' safety and mental health). I think I've convinced myself to just order two. I don't mind giving extra $ to a company with a good mission (a portion of proceeds goes to organizations supporting girls and women in sports. It's goalfive.com/pages/equal-play, and the item in question is these: goalfive.com/collections/bottoms/products/fast-free-training-short?variant=39599619178676

Never too much workout gear, CurlieWhirlie. And they're cute too.

Getting C to clean his room is impossible. R has his room cleaned and vacuumed and even cleaned their bathroom and vacuumed the living room for me. C would rather lay in bed and look at the ceiling.

Where is the best place to shop for tween dress clothes? DS is 8, though he is the size of a 12 year old, and we need dressy clothes for SILs wedding next month. Not too formal, as it will be outside in the mountains, but I am having a hard time finding anything I like that isn't too expensive, and I don't want to buy off of Amazon. It doesn't help that I don't really want to take him into a store right now to get him sized, so a good return policy would be nice.

Kohls and Belk are my go to’s for ‘fancier’ clothes, online has more extended sizing than in store. Good luck. That size range is a PITA.
