Ooh: I love this slim clutch from Alexander Wang — and it has credit card slots, score. I love the crazy colors, texture, and sleek, “I am not carrying several pairs of pants, undies, and diapers, and enough snacks to feed a library story group” look to it. It’s $295 at ShopBop.

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…

- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Anyone have any good suggestions for mommy & me workout videos? I hate giving up my precious time with the kiddo to go to the gym, but these preggo pounds have got to go!
Has anyone struggled with going out on maternity leave? I feel guilty even asking this question, but I’m starting to transition my workload for leave. Emotionally, the process has been much more difficult than I anticipated. I’m excited about the baby and being home with the baby, but it’s also been hard for me to let things go. Anyone else?
I’m 8weeks 1 day pregnant after IVF and on Wednesday we found out we lost the twin. I’m still pregnant (as far as I know) with our remaining baby who had a strong heartbeat and was a little ahead in growth, but we had already seen the heartbeats and it’s just really thrown me for a loop. Has anyone else every experienced this? I was worried about miscarriage before but now I’m extra worried because it happened to one of the babies in there now.
Favorite parenting books? I could use something with a lot of basics, like, how to keep your baby alive.
Any moms of babies/toddlers with eczema on here? Just wondering what you have tried and what works for your kids. I have an 8 month old with I would say moderate eczema. We are able to prevent severe flares, but he is always red in parts. We use california baby wash, cetaphil cream, aquaphor, and desonide. A&D and TriplePaste on the diaper area, and honest company diapers.
Just curious what has worked for other moms, and if your kids grew out of the eczema at a certain age, or grew into any food allergies.
C-Moms: can we talk about 2-year-old sleep regressions? Is that A Thing? My 23-month old son is KILLING us (slowly, slowly) — he used to be a terrific sleeper but is now popping up from roughly 1-2:30 AM every morning. I think there’s a slim chance it could be a wet diaper issue, but he weighs 30+ lbs so we’re already in size 6’s. Any other ideas for me? Dying over here…
