This is fantastic.

The designer, Anouk Wipprecht, has some cool other devices as well. One monitors P300 waves (and is styled as a unicorn horn) to help kids with ADHD. https://www.anoukwipprecht.nl/…

Also, it’s on the calendar year, not a rolling 12-month calendar. And it isn’t prorated. File your paperwork in early December? That’s $800 now and $800 in a few months. Wait until…

I'd be curious to know your thoughts on the Foreign Service as a post-child career. My wife and I were young when we had kids, and will be empty nesting at 46. I took the sample FS…
