Preparing for Kindergarten

My oldest daughter will be starting kindergarten in a few weeks and I'm in a flurry trying to get everything ready. Gathering school supplies, clothes, making after school care/child care arrangements, making sure I have all her records with the school. I started to think about it that we are doing everything within our power to make this new transition as easy for her as possible but no one is preparing me. :) I was looking at the Welcome to the School Letter that I received in the mail and almost burst into tears. I remember bringing...

Party Favor for 6 Year Old Birthday Party

My daughter is having her 6th birthday in July. We are having a pool party at our house. I wanted to see if anyone has any inexpensive and unique ideas for goody bags. I'm tired of candy, stickers, little junk toys that no one needs. I will have boys and girls at the party. Most of them will be around 6 years old. Thanks so much.

Questions Regarding Daughter Starting Kindergarten

My daughter is starting kindergarten this fall and I have a few questions for moms of 1st or 2nd grade girls. This may seem strange but what kind of backpacks and lunch kits did most of the girls carry? I know she would probably like another "princess" or character backpack, but I'm wondering at what age is that not "cool" anymore. I certainly don't want her to feel left out and I already know that if everyone else has something different, she is going to want me to buy something different (and since hubby lost his job, that's not an...

Swimming Suit for Curvy Women

I am in need of a new swimming suit for this summer. I am nursing and very curvy (36G) and I am having a hard time finding a nice swimming suit. The swimming suit doesn't need to be a nursing suit as I think I could just pull the straps down. My size is very hard to find in the first place, because if the suit is big enough around my chest it is too big in the stomach area. I am only 28 years old and would like to wear something that would not make me look older than I am. However, I'll be wearing the suit to take my kids swimming so I...

Where Did You Get Your Swimsuit?

Looking for a new suit, I'm finding it tough out there. I don't think I have a unique body: more tummy than I'd like, some hips, and a need for a supportive bust. I am trying to find a tankini (ease of bathrooming a must) that is around $100 or so. Less would be great, but I typically use my suits for a couple of years, so it has to be good quality. Apparently I'm expecting too much from a suit, or I'm looking in the wrong places. Help please?
