Welcome to SEND ME THE LINK — a new, regular feature of Two Truths where we send you links to the products, services, apps, experts & extras that are making life better, brighter, more beautiful, or all-around easier. This is the stuff that our community is raving about, that our trusted network is talking about, and that we’re using & loving; the stuff that’ll leave you saying, “SEND ME THE LINK!” You don’t need a lot of stuff in motherhood, but we think this stuff is the good stuff.

Two Truths is a bestselling newsletter & media brand exploring the many truths of motherhood from journalists & maternal health advocates Cassie Shortsleeve of Dear Sunday Motherhood & Kelsey Haywood Lucas of Motherspeak. Two Truths is rooted in the healing & affirming principle that two (or more) things can be true. It’s a “best parenting Substack” per Motherly; also seen in The Skimm, Vox, The Bump, Popsugar & more.

Here’s the link for…

• This LED-powered princess cape has made recent spooky celebrations feel truly dazzling—and made it easier to keep an eye on my daughter in the dark. —Kelsey

• These new adorable ‘spring boards’ with tiles for everything from teeth brushing to soccer practice help curious kids actively engage in routine and understand what the day ahead has in store. Personalizable, stylish, and easy for small hands to use, they also double as cute kid decor. —Cassie

• We’re getting a head start on our holiday cards with this line of beautiful, customizable cards printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper. A tree is planted with every order, and they’ll even mail them for you. (Psst: They’re offering 40% off holiday cards through 11/4.)

• I regret to inform you that succumbing to social media trends can actually be good for your health sometimes, because sipping from this has increased my daily water intake from about one ounce to one gallon. —K

• This beachfront Miami wellness resort with the largest spa on the Eastern Seaboard helped me rediscover relaxation on a recent kid-free trip. —C

• This online program from a talented trial attorney and mom advocate is a portal that provides mothers with much-needed templates for communicating about paid leave, helps you understand complicated state laws, and empowers you to get the maternity leave you deserve.

• Need someone to talk to who understands exactly what you’re going through and has the lived experience that can help? Try this peer support app (and use the code TT2024 to get your first check-in free). #partner

• In this limited-edition collection, a top baby gear brand offers some of their most beloved essentials (two car seats, a bassinet, and a stroller) in the prettiest blush-pink hue to benefit breast cancer research and awareness. 

• I am currently wowed by this beautiful blue floral wallpaper now covering the sloped ceilings of my youngest daughter’s small bedroom. —C

• For my daughter’s first at-home mani, we used this kid-friendly polish line that’s non-toxic, water-based, and made in the USA by a mom. —K

• Because I love a cozy evening beverage: This honey-lemon sleep support powder with magnesium (just mix it with some warm water) promotes relaxation and is safe for both pregnancy and breastfeeding. Use the code twotruths for 20% off your first purchase. —K

The Stuff You Loved Most

A look back at top links from the last issue…

1. This whimsical, dreamy children’s magazine serves up sweet nostalgia (for me) and instills a sense of magic and wonder (in my kids) c/o fairy crafts, scavenger hunts, stories, and more. (The autumn issue is available now.) —K

2. My oldest wore this super comfy tie-dye set from an adorable children’s boutique all summer long, and so far, it has staying power into fall. —C

3. These are my no-rash-ever favorite diapers — the company is mom-founded, the diapers are lined with 100% cotton, and everything’s Shark Tank-approved (Gwyneth Paltrow’s an investor). The code dearsunday10 gets you 10% off on their site, and they’re also now available at Target. —C
