It’s not always easy, like how she used to pee every single time she saw me, or when she pushed Thomson into the lake or when she decided to rip a piece of my down sweater off! I was ready to call the refund hotline. Mikee usually got mad at me for abandoning my commitment, but the kids pleaded with me to have patience and love. I made a decision that I would be diligent about spending time with Luna and actually getting to know this new family member. I’m proud to report that there have now been many “puppy love” moments as Emmy would like to call it. If you’re thinking of getting a COVID puppy however, read this first. https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2020/12/30/kids-brigadeiro-birthday-party monthly 0.5 2021-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609391603589-662YEHW2TRY9E7ZKGKFX/01b8c2d5-67b5-4ac5-8d70-b4636335d238.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids Zoom party for 12! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609391681757-5H2BYBP2TGJ1VUMBF5MS/9c45cdd0-fe64-42a7-9bde-81420e80f47a.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609391712920-V7WD6HYBIFSMLWQX49NV/a8782779-b968-49e9-ba34-2570cf5b3e4a.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609391712987-BJW9E08PXFOMJLR97QX5/f6197f0d-0edf-47bb-8d07-6e000e090956.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609391719154-7L13NGY6CMZEHT4X4KQZ/IMG_7735.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609391772918-ZVI5JQTCUGAKYDOLJ886/IMG_7612.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609391772265-0F09VQ5XF9ZZB0O6003W/IMG_6999.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609391783520-4TIXMIJWCJZS1J0CLGE9/IMG_7001.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609391781698-GFI7BRTCIEWEWSARY7IP/IMG_6993.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609391789079-88OVPHAAHUA0V3R6NZE7/IMG_7085.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609392171638-HIR8FOJV7KX6WNP14YA9/IMG_7086.jpg Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609392187929-X6M8VL9CMI8VJLS8ENA4/IMG_7004.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609392189343-1HPUDAB1C0WAV44G39D2/IMG_7005.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609392159504-NIACLO2FKH0U62BEK964/IMG_7288.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609392174677-37X0P3YIGFNMIL2217IH/IMG_7304.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609392203698-DGKE6N6BD9WZ4OLRJHRE/IMG_7308.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609392215035-P2SXVX0GRJVI4FG8182E/IMG_7313.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609392215130-02EA2XIU11VNI8QGN3JK/IMG_7312.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609392202648-PWKTXW4AAYOUBX2NHOMK/IMG_7008.JPG Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1609394543468-UUC6V8GP2O8M59Z2CKG8/kahoot%21+quiz Blog - Brigadeiro virtual birthday party for kids 10 more days to play!

Cutting my son's hair - Every two weeks… I get the great pleasure of cutting my son’s hair. I’ve been doing this since he turned two and get a huge kick out of doing it. I have zero experience barbering so the first 5-10 haircuts were actually… bad. But after watching some youtube videos and having a willing subject to practice, I think i’m finally getting to the point where it looks half-decent. He’s still super proud of the fact that he can tell his friends that Mommy cut his hair, so I’m going to milk it as long as it last! https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2020/2/25/the-fourth-trimester monthly 0.5 2020-02-25 https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2020/2/24/10-low-key-ways-to-mix-it-up-at-home monthly 0.5 2020-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1582522382275-GR95M8I6TYHKMAA2YYNL/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 10 low-key ways to switch things up - 1. Twilight walks We do neighborhood walks all the time but whenever we suggest a night walk with headlamps and reflective vests, somehow it becomes 10x more exciting. Scavenger/I Spy games increase in difficulty making for fun challenges! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1582522769616-JX4TULDBX40B4DBHW15V/2e8921be-e03e-4f97-b491-8d1133ea1d34.JPG Blog - 10 low-key ways to switch things up - 2. Backyard picnics Just move dinner 10 feet to the backyard and it’s a whole new experience. Kids still talking about how fun it is! Still using the JJ Cole picnic blanket we got from our baby showers years ago! For twilight dinners, definitely get hooked up with a rechargeable LED lantern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1582523020711-EV73OI71W90YFQEYICDQ/562f45b3-f16d-4408-8f48-a3e4ac1e59ff.JPG Blog - 10 low-key ways to switch things up - 3. Move it outside This just literally happened today which is what inspired this post. Mikee decided to move the kids outdoor for their art time. You get it, there’s a theme - changing locations is a big deal! We also sometimes use our Lifetime Kids Picnic table from costco. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1582523248311-KVKJILYYQUOV926KCX5G/IMG_7858.JPG Blog - 10 low-key ways to switch things up - 4.

Candlelight dinners We were gifted these Orrefors glassworks tea light orbs and have been using them consistently for our candle light dinners. There’s something about darkness isn’t it! That’s how I like to dress up a tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich dinner! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1582523776849-0XEUZJ37YBNFXOJC7J3O/IMG_8391.JPG Blog - 10 low-key ways to switch things up - 6. Breakfast for dinner Why not? Dinner for breakfast? Why not! Just do it! The staple item I have in my freezer at all times are buttermilk belgian waffles. They crisp up so wonderfully in the oven in no time! I love this recipe from BrowneyedBaker.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1582523829932-GBO5J6J2BIHK1LK3G0QC/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 10 low-key ways to switch things up - 7. Change the rules of the game This how UNO has continued to make money over the years. There are many different versions of Uno (Flip, Mario, Frozen, Harry Potter, to name a few) and they each have slight variations to the rules. Why let them have the fun? Make up your own rules. What if “WILD” meant you get to give away a card to someone you choose? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1582524055408-3EVSBXFC89NB9RRORD5J/IMG_8631.JPG Blog - 10 low-key ways to switch things up - 8. Silly photo contest Google silly photos and find lots of inspiration for ideas to do with your kids. As you can see, we got a little carried away at Yosemite this past weekend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1582524330752-T9SB7OF9TKW4GE949CLF/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 10 low-key ways to switch things up - 9. Recycle/Reuse Party This is Mikee’s speciality. He digs into our recycling bin and challenge the kids to make or do something with random stuff he finds. Cost nothing but the possibilities are endless. Think again before you dump that cavatappi box! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1582524973439-2AE4JW8H366CSHLO1RQD/C9DB2E31-681D-481C-85C8-DBF4DABC10CD.JPG Blog - 10 low-key ways to switch things up - 10. Role play There is sooo much opportunity for costumes beyond Halloween. Take them out every week and play out a scene from a movie or make up your own. I’ve even gone to school to pick up the kids in costume - they love it!!! I tend to get costumes without glitter in washable comfy fabrics for easy wear. https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2020/2/17/jaunts-in-the-sf-bay-area-with-kids monthly 0.5 2021-05-22 https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2020/1/19/my-office-transformation monthly 0.5 2020-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1579738539465-SETM6SIATSEUHP40YD9I/IMG_7648.JPG Blog - My $130 office transformation - Creating dimension I new my request for a new painted wall would probably be too much, so we hacked up some old foam core we had lying around to create an illusion of a matte black wall. Using leftover colored duct tape, we were able to cover the seams. Best part of the foam core wall is how usable it is! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1579738422464-U9N4OR9PXRK0WD15UOPV/Image+from+iOS+%2846%29.jpg Blog - My $130 office transformation - Increasing usable space The current furniture in the room was so large that it ate up valuable space next to the whiteboard and made a corner completely in-usable. I got ride of them and used a lovely mid-century floor lamp and cheap leaning shelf to bring some warmth and storage into the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1579738364175-6K0VCND5F1B9NYTNM0HR/Image+from+iOS+%2848%29.jpg Blog - My $130 office transformation - Inviting collaboration and inspiration I made a request for some tables and chairs which created the new team studio space. I oriented through furniture in a way that it actually invites people in. Much as I wanted to personalize the space with photos of my kids, I decided to reduce it That way, the team wouldn’t feel like they were intruding on my personal space. And to amplify that, I’ll be featuring both internal and external works as a means of inspiring the team creatively. https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2019/12/12/my-favorite-things-of-2019 monthly 0.5 2020-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1576176497147-FZ2UMUL2MWRWPLQ3CUBL/giftlamp.JPG Blog - My (new) favorite things of 2019 - Cutest little lamp This is the lamp I have gifted twice to new members joining our team at work.

The ultimate travel hack for 3-8 year olds - For frequent travelers, I’d seriously considering purchasing the Ride Safer Delight Vest. It weighs 3 lbs and packs into a small mesh backpack! It was super easy to adjust and get Thomson fitted into it. If you have a 5-8yo, they make it in a larger size too.

Our usual spot usually doesnt see much snow so I assumed we would be okay. The 3h drive up was okay but once we got to the snow line, we had to outfit our 2WD with snow chains, drive slow, shovel a ton and even deal with a dead car battery. We may have survived but we definitely could’ve been better prepared. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1551502609824-IOAU8DOP0FX2RE0XIRPN/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Snowpocalypse Check List - It may have been trying… but we learnt so much through adversity as a family. It was also very rewarding watching the kids ski for the first time. We’re going to be much better prepared next time and pretty sure we’ll be renting a AWD for the drive up. :) Have fun as the season comes to an end!

The entire country is like one giant endless national park! We didn’t buy anything but this is what we hear they’re known for - wool. Specifically icelandic blankets and hand-knitted nordic “woolens”. Many moms have attested to the warmth and softness of these blankets. I have the this one made by Icewear hanging out in my cart right now. They’re a splurge but may be a great gift for those that like to snuggle up on the couch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1549837636698-075SIOXNXSGHXP8U2NQF/belizechairs4.jpg Blog - Best products of the world - Part 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1549837636809-5XP2UC4YA4N14Y65D3ST/belizechairs3.jpg Blog - Best products of the world - Part 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1549837636881-MN2860GIPIYL9MBUB0WQ/belizechairs2.jpg Blog - Best products of the world - Part 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1549837636968-39OZQNXSIUW7EO7IHHHK/belizechairs.jpg Blog - Best products of the world - Part 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1549838337103-PLVF96TTJ58ZIRY87EP3/IMG_2150+2.JPG Blog - Best products of the world - Part 2 - Breville If you’ve been reading my blog you’ll know that I love me some Australian appliances - Breville. Check out their entire line-up - every single piece was designed to SHINE on that countertop. We have been loyal users of the Breville toaster oven but have recently upgraded to the Breville Smart Oven Air. It will do anything an oven will do including dehydrating and air-frying. We hardly use our regular wall oven anymore. The Breville has an amazing capacity and heats up super fast.

I have fallen in love with Blundstones, or “Blunnies”. They are close to DocMartens in terms of style but has zero break-in. They have updated the Chelsea boot with two tabs, not one, for easy wear and removal. Europeans have been stomping around in these for awhile and recently have been spotted all over SF. I’d like to take some credit for that! I have a dress series Chelsea boot.

Love their thoughtfully designed bento boxes (and this one too). Sistema products are dishwasher/freezer/microwave safe and all made in NZ. https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2019/1/27/best-products-of-the-world-part-i monthly 0.5 2019-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1549143497669-4W00PXP4EKX3C7DG9FP6/IMG_4147_bruder.JPG Blog - Our favorite products of the world - Part 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1549148120880-3XO9EWOBPCYZ38GEGCKF/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Our favorite products of the world - Part 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1549842327620-RVTG60I23BI81FFN08BT/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Our favorite products of the world - Part 1 My memories of growing up in the UK was set in the backdrop of gray and rain, which is why it’s no surprise that the Brits nail the rain in style. Wellies (aka rain boots) come to mind. The most famous brain is of course Hunter (overpriced). Joules is another well-known UK brand that makes cute wellies. Given most days are gloomy over there, it’s no wonder they try to bring the sunshine through their boots. Gotta love the navy raining dogs design. Boots are tall enough for even the deepest puddles - as reported by Emmy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1549148397342-7L9SFJBSB0SMOTIS8HB3/Screen+Shot+2019-02-02+at+2.59.43+PM.png Blog -

I try to stock up during online sales because I hate taking them to the store. I’ve been relying on the Squatchi shoe-sizer for accurate measurements. If you mark it off like we do, makes for a great keepsake. ❤️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1546727268542-8L55PZT6G81AY5N708UJ/IMG_3514.JPG Blog - How we dropped the ball as parents in 2018 - Save the art Our bookshelves are overflowing with art that the kids bring home. Two years ago, I started a scrapbook to capture the highlights two years ago… and it’s been two years since I last updated it. It’s time to go through the stash again. There are just too many gems to pass up. Just ordered these stylish self-adhesive scrapbooks. We’ve also use Amazon 3-ring binders and clear sheet protectors in the past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1546728007711-954G70W77XPQ6LOHP55L/IMG_C6F8BD8D4644-1.jpeg Blog - How we dropped the ball as parents in 2018 - And the digital ones too Just a reminder to make sure you’re going through your camera rolls to tag your favorite shots of the past year. I try to do it every month but looks like I’m a little behind now. We highly recommend Google photos for backing up. It has an amazing contextual search. Try searching “bicycle” “swimming” or even “carseat”. It gets pretty darn close! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1546728221873-5925I9MEYT1SWW8JCX3E/image-asset.jpeg Blog - How we dropped the ball as parents in 2018 - Check the carseats! It was actually this photo that made me realize that I maybe needed to adjust Emmy’s carseat. (Turns out I didn’t need to). Also double check that your child has met the 4yo/40lbs/40” requirement for boosters. Other common blindspot is that LATCH actually has a weight limit of 40 lbs. Switch over to seatbelt install if your child has reached that weight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1546728467886-8WDW9WVV6O0RVIK52K7D/Image+from+iOS+%289%29.jpg Blog - How we dropped the ball as parents in 2018 - And… check the car too. That’s my Odyssey with almost bare tires which I took the kids to the mountains in. We made it out alive but shortly after, the tire blew out while I was driving to work. I know, I know, we’re idiots. Don’t be us especially since we are all probably planning ski week right now. Check your tires, maintenance schedule, everything. It’s not worth ruining your trip over unexpected car troubles. (And don’t forget the snow chains). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1546729775282-7ED1VF0OSIS7PXOC6TKR/IMG_3525.jpg Blog - How we dropped the ball as parents in 2018 - The scariest thing takes the longest time Our living trust has been on our to-do list for 6 whole years. While the post-its have dried up and dropped off, it continues to plague my mind and heart. It’s not an easy topic to discuss - Who should be our kids’ parents if we die? Why? And are they onboard? You and your partner might actually have different perspectives on this. At the very least, start talking about it now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1546790944466-7M68VGMTOV85GK9R7RS2/Image+from+iOS+%2810%29.jpg Blog - How we dropped the ball as parents in 2018 - Family year-end review Last year, we focused on improving a few things. One of them was being intentional about “special time” with the kids. That means, each of us taking turns to have 1:1 with each kid. It’s something we will continue to do this year because we have seen what happens when we skip special time. What’s been kind of sucking is the less-than-ideal sibling relationship. There’s a lot of yelling and hitting. Because of our busy schedules (and addiction to learning from experts), we’ve scheduled an annual with our parenting coach. Looking forward to sharing back what we learn! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1546728837757-GEYN9GCCTMAMWCLB1QNL/IMG_3518.JPG Blog - How we dropped the ball as parents in 2018 - Recruit your village I’m in the middle of an amazing book by Tiffany Dufu called Drop the ball: How to achieve more by doing less.

But I suspect some of you, are on the 2018 end-of-year reflections wave. You maybe dropped $2,000 a bike 5-6 months ago and have riden it maybe 5-10 times?

The last thing you want to do is shove an appliance in the pantry. You know you won’t use it. Airfrying is something I do almost on a daily basis because it can crisp up literally anything This little baby gets up to 390F in under 3 minutes! If you’re a family of four or more, you could get the Viva XL but at that size, it really starts to look like an eyesore. (Especially since it’ll be sitting right next to the hideous InstantPot!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1544239362803-T8UCR4VT1BKTYB4HAJKH/IMG_2144.JPG Blog - Breville Smart Oven Air vs. Philips Viva Air Fryer - Family of four starts here This big little oven has been a workhorse in our family for years. And I actually love how it looks like on the counter. It’s a #parentoftheyearhack for appliances because it heats up to 400F in under 5 minutes. We use it daily as our primary oven to toast, roast, bake or re-heat. It is deep enough for 9”x13” that it sufficiently feels like a decent second oven. It won’t be a champ at air frying, but this copper crisper hack might be all you need.

It can air fry AND dehydrate on three separate layers. That means, this will work wonders for larger families and perform all the day-to-day tasks we love about regular toaster ovens. I also found out it has a proof setting that really does set this oven apart. It may be the most expensive of the three but you get some serious bang for your buck! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1544282521815-DE6EK8DKC0VM27TPSX2V/IMG_2191.PNG Blog - Breville Smart Oven Air vs. Philips Viva Air Fryer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1544282518537-4T0MBW6CXN2KBNJKKTHH/IMG_2192.PNG Blog - Breville Smart Oven Air vs. Philips Viva Air Fryer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1544282575581-767HQ1WTHQE9IP5HLUE5/IMG_2193.PNG Blog - Breville Smart Oven Air vs. Philips Viva Air Fryer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1544282571286-4ZGYDP2SS6EP8TYVIR5J/IMG_2194.PNG Blog - Breville Smart Oven Air vs. Philips Viva Air Fryer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1544282625026-4518JCN53I18IBMTASXA/IMG_2195.PNG Blog - Breville Smart Oven Air vs. Philips Viva Air Fryer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1544282635264-HZA7KVJ1SR9ZVT5TP28O/IMG_2196.PNG Blog - Breville Smart Oven Air vs. Philips Viva Air Fryer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1544282675174-FSV5UOWPYOTDWY0GL1GM/IMG_2197.PNG Blog - Breville Smart Oven Air vs. Philips Viva Air Fryer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1544282676632-GW7PKNJXVVKE4DABZN3O/IMG_2198.PNG Blog - Breville Smart Oven Air vs. Philips Viva Air Fryer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1544282696477-UBTI7K50S1T5RQF3GADL/IMG_2199.PNG Blog - Breville Smart Oven Air vs. Philips Viva Air Fryer https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2019/1/21/preparing-for-the-dark-side-of-birth monthly 0.5 2019-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1548120113554-9O2X4PCK3AOW1VNKKBNO/Screen+Shot+2019-01-21+at+5.21.00+PM.png Blog - Preparing for the dark side of birth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1548120113629-6L0DJFFHIAUDW2N35I1H/Screen+Shot+2019-01-21+at+5.21.07+PM.png Blog - Preparing for the dark side of birth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1548120114258-SJ9W5RX49AXU3O0XWX14/Screen+Shot+2019-01-21+at+5.21.16+PM.png Blog - Preparing for the dark side of birth https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2018/12/1/influencing-in-meetings-and-meltdowns monthly 0.5 2018-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1543696191074-71T91W4D51HS3IQ09DCC/563077868.929284.jpg Blog - 5 durable tips for meetings and meltdowns - It starts with special time At home, every day we each invest 10 mins doing “special time” with our kids.We focus completely on what they want to do and say.

I fall asleep much quicker and stay asleep for longer. So much so, that I can’t get through a full TV episode anymore! Make sure you pick one that is 10% of their bodyweight.

Twenty years of working with families, Dr. Millette has developed The Millette Method™ a multi-disciplinary approach to family sleep.

Because of its minimalist design of the posts, the treadmill doesn’t actually feel quite as imposing as some of those you would see at a corporate gym. It’s the kind of treadmill that deserves to be shown-off, not hidden in a garage. The screen is extra wide — not a requirement for running but could be if you were on the floor bootcamping. Industrial design: 10/10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1540001647148-V9XSZ3I15FQ8LG1PRPVX/IMG_0403.JPG Blog - The Peloton Tread Experience - It’s the porsche of treadmills. The tread’s controls are second to none. A small swipe and the treadmill responds instantaneously. The jump button is my favorite feature as it seamlessly jumps to the next level. The biggest flaw of the bike is fixed with the front-facing speakers. I’m deducting 1 pt because the screen shakes at high speeds. They made a trade-of of form over function with the floating screen. Engineering: 9/10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1540001787910-0YR88MVHC496K553S248/IMG_0404.JPG Blog - The Peloton Tread Experience - Running on high Well it doesn’t quite feel like you’re running on air, it’s pretty close to it. There’s a nice bounce to it that feels better on my knees. While the tread’s narrow/shorter profile contributes to a chic profile, it can actually make you feel a little squished. I caught myself looking back to see if I still had enough runway. Running comfort: 9/10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1540001927576-4LBIWUBBIOT4PISNFL62/IMG_0397.JPG Blog - The Peloton Tread Experience - Content is king I used to rely heavily on Netflix to get me through a treadmill run.

Even the storage tray is so thoughtfully design. Two cup holders, more than enough storage for headphones, HRMs, cellphones, headphones.

She also filled little plastic bulbs with red and green M&Ms and sent them along with the card. https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2018/10/14/why-snakes-make-awesome-pets-for-busy-working-parents monthly 0.5 2018-10-20 https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/theperfectcookie monthly 0.5 2018-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539444761408-LEZSLLO8ENWT0R6CXNPL/NYTIMEScookie.jpg Blog - The perfected “go big or go home” chocolate chip cookie - The magic and curse of this recipe is that it requires “curing” overnight in the fridge.

I believe there’s a sweet spot to finding the perfect ride — the trifecta of music, coaching and riding with your tribe. You don’t need all three, but a solid one out of three is enough to get you out of bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1547705300221-R2IMILG0S2KY6Z53TX0J/Peloton+2018+Most+Inspirational+Small.jpg Blog - The Peloton newbie onboarding guide https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1538870639073-HE1GQ913CICTQA427WIJ/pelo_awesome.png Blog - The Peloton newbie onboarding guide https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1538870306317-JRG2SCLRX0YDC28ZD1MA/pelo_tophits.png Blog - The Peloton newbie onboarding guide https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1538870305287-Z4A3WKAP5Q4C4JLCOI8K/pelo_legends.png Blog - The Peloton newbie onboarding guide https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2018/12/2/5rs-no-yelling-formula-for-consequences monthly 0.5 2018-12-03 https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2018/9/30/traveling-for-conferences-and-where-it-all-started monthly 0.5 2019-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1538455575290-GW4TYQFFHGYYY9USNP8W/away1.jpg Blog - Travel for conferences like a pro The larger carry on (left) and the carry-on (right). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1538430728596-EZIOP6T1JZ3YRM543NKY/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Travel for conferences like a pro - #alwayswinning Some conferences do a great job of creating meet-ups for like-minded people to network. Join those! Otherwise, create your own opportunity. Kylie and i were trying to recruit designers at Grace Hopper, but found them hard to come by. We made a little scrappy sign and held it up for five minutes at the exit. It worked! We had 5 designers meet us at our booth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1538455934923-U17R6SXFRE90A0GC9ULT/image-asset.png Blog - Travel for conferences like a pro - Making working out at the gym fun again Exercise is a big deal for me. This is where your stylish sneakers come in handy. I also highly recommend the Peloton Digital app. It has a ton of treadmill and spin bike programming that actually makes working out fun. They DJ the workouts to great music and the coaches continually push out new content on a daily basis. It's a 2-in-1 because you get to stay up to date on the latest music as well. It's $14.99 a month or comes include with a peloton bike/treadmill subscription. If you have no idea what peloton is, read my post about how it's changed my life. https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2018/10/6/top-20-forever-toys-y45s7 monthly 0.5 2019-09-06 https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2018/10/25/surviving-17h-flight-with-two-toddlers monthly 0.5 2019-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1540480390273-CTWUJERYM2T1L4710S5L/betbox3.jpg Blog - Surviving a 17 hour flight with two toddlers - The Stokke JetKids Bed Box We got this once my daughter was old enough to wheel herself around. It meant we moved quicker around the terminal and it converted to a “poor man business class” for our 2yo in economy class. Brilliant design! It’s on Amazon, not cheap, but considering we do this flight often, it was a great business class upgrade. https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2018/10/29/cauliflower-mike-nuggets monthly 0.5 2018-10-29 https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2018/10/10/10-game-changing-baby-items monthly 0.5 2019-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539196375634-C0DKHGNH2JA5BU4P0WH6/rubs2.jpg Blog - 10 game-changing baby products - The nail scissors to rule them all Rubis Elephant Baby Scissors: Ask any new mom, cutting their newborn baby’s vampire nails is a scary task. There are lot of clippers out there, but I implore you to use these swiss-made baby scissors instead. They’re engineered so that it’s impossible to cut them and yet is sharp. It is my #1 staple baby shower gift and every mom has loved them. They are not cheap, never go on sale but last forever. (6 years, 2 kids). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539187522996-V3EG0LDOEO405L3F1612/stokketubfolded.jpg Blog - 10 game-changing baby products - The tub that stows away The Stokke Flexi bath is brilliant in that it stows away when not in use. You can also purchase an infant insert for the early days. Our kids used it up to age 5 before it converted to a sensory water tank. At one point, even fit both of them! It is VERY well made and sturdy. If you don’t have a tub in your home, get this. Expensive but worth every dollar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539187730983-QSWKOERDL9U5UBQG2E1M/moderntwist.jpg Blog - 10 game-changing baby products - The stylish bib that grows with you There are lot of babybjorn bib fans out there but honestly, the modern twist silicone bib is way more versatile. It actually rolls away for portability, actually catches food and has a very comfy neckline. I still put it on my 5yo when she’s having a messy sundae. :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539187896675-EI182UOCX8781L7OLN0X/washboard.jpg Blog - 10 game-changing baby products - Just a little bit of agitation You can buy all the detergent you want but it’s amazing what just a little bit of rubbing on this mini japanese washboard will do. Just a few soapy scrubs and it (poop, food, mud) all comes out. So small it hides away easily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539188135402-Z0AG3UUQ3GA8R46BKQ4R/lunchjar.jpg Blog - 10 game-changing baby products - One hot lunch jar Don’t be afraid to add items on your baby registry for when your kids get older. You’ll need a hot lunch jar and this one is the mother of all lunch jars. You can even cook an egg in it! Zojirushi is the porsche of all thermos containers. This 11.8oz jar has been going strong since E was 6 months old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539188302910-28WYTJ43N30RIG7LFLK7/frida Blog - 10 game-changing baby products - And let there be snort If there’s one item, that’s already on your list, it’s this one. I’m just validating your choice. Baby will have snort, this is how you get rid of it. I’ve tried three brands and NoseFrida still comes out tops. Sucking it out is kinda gross, but get over it. That’s how baby will sleep better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539188430005-B4IMUV7CEH6YHFIBAC52/boon.jpg Blog - 10 game-changing baby products - Make the stuffed animals work for you If you have a child, you will have stuffed animals. Use this Boon Stuffed Animal Bag to make a clear home for them, that will also double as a bean bag. Gotta love the designers at Boon — they just keep nailing it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539188550201-I26DT7YGWF8JTE4LMXTL/boonhighchair.jpg Blog - 10 game-changing baby products - The highchair you’ll want to get… on craigslist. The Boon Flair High Chair rarely goes on sale. But, it is the freaking best highchair in the market. It’s super easy to clean, baby is always supported (look at the high neck) and adjusts easily for all heights. And the seat is so comfy, kids actually fall asleep in them (picture coming). It’s the highchair of choice at our kids daycare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539188758517-HJZQM3RU7FY8U25M11WC/woolino.jpg Blog - 10 game-changing baby products - Because they spend more than half their lives sleeping The woolino merino wool sleep bag fits babies from 3-24 months. Day in and day out, merino wool keeps them comfy no matter the temperature. Woolino ships their sacks with a handy in-room thermometer with a clothing guide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bac061d2727be3257925b5f/1539188913402-UV51JUT0B02XHEJ5787B/lotus.jpg Blog - 10 game-changing baby products - Sleep, Nap & Play The Lotus Portable Crib is kind of like a little transformer. It works great as a portable crib, play yard and also a fort (when they’re older). We have gotten so much out of this and we’re sad to give it away. Let grandma get this one for you. So portable you can bring it over anytime. https://www.worklifekids.com/blog/2018/10/8/foolproof-birthday-gift-ideas-for-little-kids monthly 0.5 2019-09-06
